I happen to be a fan of American made rifles. Remington, Savage, Ruger and Kimber all make an excellent firearms..... CZ and Weatherby are fine firearms but in todays economic climate I would rather do something that keeps people employed here...The right deer rifle?
In my opinion you can't do much better then a plain old remington 700. They are relatively cheap (can be found used for as low as $300), reliable, and usually very accurate. The US army uses remington 700 actions to build their sniper rifles, so that should tell you something about the quality. When it comes to the caliber, I'd recommend the plain old .270 win. The WSM is more powerful, but it will kick alot more, ammo is more expensive, and unless you are shooting out beyond 300yds the extra speed and power really isn't necessary. The .270 win is more than enough gun to kill a deer.
My next rifle is going to be a .270. I have already chosen Savage as the manufacturer, now it will be between the 111 and 114 models (depending on pricing at the time). The barrel is free floated and button rifled and the accu-trigger is the nicest and smoothest trigger I have seen on a moderately priced production rifle; plus it is fully adjustable.
As far as scopes; you would be hard pressed to find a better scope for the money than the Nikon ProStaff. It can be had almost everywhere in 3-9x40 for less than 150 bucks. It can take the pounding of the bigger calibers and has as good (or better) optics than the more expensive Leupolds and Swarovskis.
Don't forget solid rings and bases!!! This is the most common mistake made. People spend tons of cash on optics and pair em with cheap rings. This is where I swear by Leupolds. They make a rock steady base and ring combo.
You can be in the woods, smooth firing and deadly accurate out to 300 yards (and beyond) for a little over 600 bucks.
Personally I think you should go with the CZ then. Look..you could ask 100 people get 100 asnwers as to what the best deer rifle is. For me personally I like the 30-06 (winchester) simply because I think it's the best all around gun. I only harvested whitetail and a few mulley's though so my opinion, much like anyone else is going to based to a large part on what I've heard others say. With a deer rifle it's not like you're going to firing thousands of rounds of ammo thru it or really torturing testing it. More than likely you're going to shoot 5-10 rounds rounds a year thru it MAX!!!! And any rifle is going to handle that light amount of work. Get what you like. CZ's are not very expensive and if you don't like it you can always get something else.
it depends on what you will be using it for, only deer or in the future more. my dad has a 270. win and he has taken more moose, and deer then any of his friends and they mostly have 30-06.
People think the 270. is to small for larger game like the moose but it will do the job just fine. i am buying a 270 wsm within the next little while. The recoil isn't a big difference.
You can choose either rifle and you will be happy with it and it will kill large game.
And for model i suggest the remington model 700, or the winchester model 70.
I own 270 WSM and not 270 Win, but I wouldn't say there's a notable difference unless you're building a mountain rifle and need the short action to save weight.
The few CZ rifles I've tried and the one I own seem to have more problems with wood-to-metal fit than other production brands, but if you don't mind a little DIY work, they should be a fine choice.
i would go and look and handle several brands and makes see which one you like the best you can tell a lot about a rifle when you pick one up and shoulder it. good luck
I have a Savage 111 in .270 that I've used to take whitetal, mule deer and antelope.
Bought it used. my second favorite rifle next to my Remington 788 chambered in .308.
