My son just bought one of the CZ varmint rifles (he chose a .22-250 though). It is beautifully made gun. I too like the set trigger. The target that came with it sure shows that it is capable of MOA accuracy. I wish he would hurry up and get the scope he's been looking at so we can take it to the range and try it out. It ought to be hell on groundhogs come next spring.

223 indecision
Jon,
You don't say what your application is but it seems that you want the 223 as a varmint rifle. Here's my experience. I had a Rem 700V with 24" heavy barrel but hated lugging it around on my shoulder. It probably would have been fine if I could have found a place to sit on my fanny and shoot varmints -- but I never did. I also had (and still have) a Rem 700 BDL sporter with 24" barrel and found that there was very little difference in its accuracy versus the 700V. I sold the 700V and put the 12X Leupold scope on the sporter. I"ve never regretted it. Carrying was much easier but I still wanted something that was lighter and more portable. A Winchester Lightweight M70 with 20" barrel and thin forearm is very accurate with handloads and I tend to take this one a lot more when I'm out kicking around in the woods and looking for targets of opportunity. Still have the 700BDL for dedicated prairie dog hunting. Just my two cents, 270man

270man,
It will be for targets mainly, a cheaper shooting session at the range (compared to the .308 & .30-06), and for varmints when I go home to visit Oklahoma. I may have access to enough land where I can get in a few 300 to 400 yard shots, kinda refresh learning trajectories and counting clicks. And just flat out have fun. See if I can still hit an egg at 200 yards (my money is on 'not').
