I will be buying a new bolt action rifle soon and want a small caliber target rifle that will maybe with some light varmint work. I've decided to get a .223 or .22-250, both calibers work fine for my purposes and cost about the same where I buy ammo. I want a Mauser based CRF, so that limits my options to basically a Winchester Model 70 in .22-250 or a CZ-USA model 527 Varmint Laminate. Both would be purchased new. What are the advantages of each rifle? I'm leaning towards the CZ because it fires the .223 and has 1 in 9 twist, allowing me to move up to bigger stuff if I want/need to. The model 70 is a classic though, so I am really torn. I'm fairly sure both rifles will shoot sub-MOA, but if anyone would like to disabuse me of that notion, speak now.
Also, is the M77 Mark II Target a Mauser based CRF? I'm not sure but that would give me another option.
