If you want a factory rifle for $3k

The $3000 guns are not factory, they are individually built in ST Louis with imported parts from CZ. The buyer can (if he is aware) specify the barrel length and select from a raft of custom features. I got one in 505 Gibbs with a 24" barrel and I consider it the bargin of my lifetime, for a Gibbs. Nice wood and that stock fits me like a glove.

I own and prefer the Winchester M70 in 375H&H and there both the Ruger and CZ are a bit over weight for my liking.

The CZ is just nice size for a Lott or Rigby. IMHO of course.

I have a 458Lott in a low cost CZ550, the $1000 check factory gun, and it have been a big headache for me. Be prepared with a plan in advance how to deal with one if these guns if you go that route. The feeding can be smoothed out and nice features added by American Hunting Rifles, about $500 will get you a great gun if you start out with a good barrel. AHR can also replace the stock if you need a smaller one and fancy grade wood, but the price starts to go up seriously at that point.

I wish I had the built in classic peep on my Gibbs, I use the NECG peep on my 505. If true, that would be a great built in re-introduction feature.
