Sam, Your point is well taken...but...the Ruger rings are throw away as is the Ruger trigger. You have the same "clean up" costs associated with the Ruger as with the CZ. The CZs can be found for around 1/2 the initial cost of the Rugers.

My former CZ550 was far more accurate than my present RSM...in my hands. The CZ wieghed a lot less and handled better IMHO.

Would I trade my RSM for a 550...not on your life! Did I feel ill at ease using the CZ for dangerous game...not on your life!
