CZ 527 or Savage Series 10 or what in 223

I have the CZ 527 Varmint and my son and two different shooting buddies have Savage 10 FCP-Ks.
Both models are very accurate and shoot about just about as accurately.
The difference in accuracy among all 4 rifles is very small, in the hundredths of an inch for the average of 25 favorite loads over more than 50 groups each. All of their top 25 loads average around 0.360 inches at 100 yards.

The CZ is lighter and smaller. The Savage is steadier because of its muzzle brake and longer barrel.
My CZ and the Savage 10 FCP-Ks shoot bullets from 40 grains to 65 grains very accurately and 35 grain and 69 about 0.1 inches larger. They even shoot 77 grain SMKs around .7 inch groups at 100 yards. Not bad for 1:9 twist barrels.

I just bought a Savage 10 FCP-K in .308 so I like the Savage too.

I don't think you can go wrong with either of them.
