Well.....beauty doesn't mean it's accurate. I bought a CZ 55FS full stock version with the Manlicher style wood. Beautiful gun. Even after I bedded it though with all that wood when it warmed up it got a mind of it's own. The first three shots were always in say a 2" group but then after that it could miss the paper all together or at the very least be all over the paper. As a short range brush gun it would have been fine. A good deer rifle in .243. But I don't hunt deer..soooo it was not a good choice for what I shoot which is targets and ground hogs at 200 yrds.or so. It sure was pretty though. This gun, although not as sexy, is more what I need to get what I want done. I HAVE heard good things about the CZ 550 American though in their defense. Mine was a situation of the wrong gun for the job.

Your 700 is pretty much the gold standard around here for deer, and rock solid. I would have gone with a big green myself if not for the fact I wanted a .22-250 which is a little hard to find these days for some reason. What cal. is yours?
