Tikka vs CZ?

Makarov Kid · Dec 30, 2012

So I am looking at getting a .308 Win bolt action hunting rifle. I am looking at a Tikka T3 Hunter rifle and a CZ 550 FS rifle. So which should I get? I like both of them, they are the same prices, and are both excellent quality. I am in a deadlock and could use some help from my fellow MD Shooters....

Flip a coin. Both are solid firearms.

Of buy both.

Cz 550 heavy barrel 308 has that fantastic trigger trigger and the one I have is extremely accurate..

They are both quality firearms. Whichever one's stock dimentions fit you better.

I'd go with the CZ , but the Tikka is a fine rifle as well.

How are the bolts? I know the Tikka is silky smooth and the CZ is a modern Mauser bolt, but what makes the CZ better than Tikka? What makes the Tikka better than CZ?

TIka T3 is sweet as it gets...........

the tikka has an accuracy guarantee (think it's 1" or MOA). Not sure about the CZ. doesn't necessarily mean the tikka is more accurate...

i had a tikka lite .300 win mag for a little bit. with that round and a very light gun it kicked like a mad mule. you wouldn't notice it when hunting, but at the bench that thing hurt.

Well for a round like that, I would definitely go with a CZ because it's heavier. Problem is, 308 Winchester doesn't have much recoil and a Tikka rifle with its lightness wouldn't be a problem. So CZ or Tikka? :shrug:

I loved the Tikka I used to have. The bolt was butter smooth. I looked at many a rifle, Weatherby, Winchester, Remington, Mossberg. None of those listed had a bolt even similar to how smooth the Tikka was. And it was very accurate to boot just like the guarantee.

CZ firearms have a tendency to wear EXTREMELY WELL. They're built like tanks, and you have to understand that the entire Czech infrastructure is built on a cornerstone of firearms innovation.

Definitely the CZ. You wouldn't do bad with the Tikka, but I have NEVER regretted a CZ purchase.

I don't know much at all about tikka, but I've only ever heard love stories about cz and their customer support, people love them.

Once you start buying CZ's it doesn't stop.

Love love love my SAKO Forester in .308. SAKO makes Tikka ... I think I would love a Tikka.

Love my Tika T3 Lite .243. But am also a huge CZ fan though I only own a couple of CF, lots of RF. I think the 550 is a great rifle line. My personal choice would be the full stock version. Wish I could be more help. Think I would go with the CZ. They have fanatical following. And one other thing, CZ has great customer service whereas Beretta's sucks and that's who you have to deal with for Tika.

I think I am starting to move towards the CZ. I think I should go out and handle these firearms before I lay down the Benjamins!
