Hi all, new to forum. Been shooting whole life but mainly as a hunter at fairly close ranges. I’m interested in long range shooting but certain logistics (money) are keeping me to the realm of 22lr. Someday, hopefully I can take what I learn on 22s and stretch it out a bit with a center fire..
So, to question at hand, after a bit of research I’m coming to the Tikka and CZ as good choices for an affordable, accurate rifle. Both seem like a big improvement over the savage Mkii-g I’m currently shooting. Both seem like they will work for NRL base class while being suitable to move up to open.
Both appear to have good options available for aftermarket stocks or chassis systems.
Both seem like you can upgrade barrels, though the CZ seems better in this department as I’ve read of people having issues removing the Tikka barrel. Also not sure if there are any companies currently making them for the Tikka.
Trigger wise, I know there are after market options for the Tikka, but doesn’t seem like it for the CZ. The CZ is adjustable but how does that compare?
Am I missing anything? How important is the availability of a good aftermarket trigger vs a good aftermarket barrel?
So I guess I’m curious if anyone has shot both stock and how they compare? And how they will stack up in the future after changing stocks, barrels and triggers? Which will be better suited to aftermarket modification?
Thanks for any input, it is much appreciated.
