I am in extreme mid indecision. I want to save up for some sort of .223, here is my wish list in order:
CZ 527 (American) Varmint (24")
Savage 12FV (26")
Remington Model 700 SPS (24")
My reasoning for the CZ first is it is very 'Mauser like' and has an adjustable trigger.
The Savage, well hey, "It's a Savage" love the Accu-Trigger
And lastly, the Remington because it is similar to my old 700 VLS I had to sell when times were hard

I know it is not of the same quality, but it seems to be an upgradable rifle, and is the lowest priced of the three choices.
Now you know if/when I eventually get this I will go gaga over a cost effective scope.................................Will I ever stop?
