Cz 600+ range or tikka super varmint

There's no comparison. The CZ 600 is pleged with accuracy problems. The Tikka is an outstanding rifle, glass smooth action, clover leaf groups right out of the box.
CZ in my opinion, really screwed up when they discontinued the 527

I have had several tikka rifles, still have a couple but the Cz range model is interesting with the .75 moa guarantee and laminate stock.
 
I like CZ firearms, most of them anyways but if I was choosing between those two rifles I’d go Tikka. I had one of the new super varmints in 6.5 PRC, it was a five shot sub .5 Moa rifle. I’ve played around with a lot of Tikkas, mine and those of family and friends, none were a dude and some were exceptional. Those Super varmints are nice rifles, I have another friend who has one and has been very pleased.
 

Here is my experience with CZ 600…complete disaster. I’d buy the Tikka.

What would you call the barrel profile on the Super Varmint?
Thanks!
 
I have a Tikka Varmint T3X model (circa 2020) in 223 Rem. With minimal load development, I had this rifle shooting sub 1/2 moa with 60 grain Vmax and Varget / H4895.

The modular stock is a nice feature. It comes standard with a vertical pistol grip; an effective feature to improve shooting since it positions the trigger finger at an optimum angle for excellent trigger control. It also comes standard with a raised cheek piece. A nice feature if you intend to install a scope with a large objective. I removed mine since I installed a 40 mm objective scope and low Talley Mounts which gave me desired cheek weld.

Trigger adjustment is simple if needed. The action is super smooth; the ejector design is the best I ever encountered on a factory rifle. I did not find the 24" varmint contour barrel overly burdensome for field use for a "posting up and sit" hunting scenario. However, I would not choose this model for a "walking around" hunting rifle. I would opt for the T3X lite model.

Without any aftermarket changes, I am 100%+ satisfied with this rifle and it's difficult to imagine you won't be either. It would be an excellent choice for a range only rifle.

I can't comment on the CZ since I never owned one but it's hard to imagine it is any better, if equal, to the Tikka.

I have tikkas as well , several actually and like them. Smooth and shoot well. I was hoping to find someone with first hand knowledge of the “600+ range” model Cz as it looks like a good fit for what I am wanting. Tikka doesn’t make a 6 cm and Cz does. If tikka made a heavier barrel in 6cm that’s the way I would go. I know you can change barrels etc but I may as well go used custom at that point.

Never shot 600+ range so I can offer no advice, perhaps those that shoot at those ranges can. However wouldn't a 6.5 CM be a good choice? I think Tikka sales one in the varmint configuration in this caliper.

6.5 would be good and I may end up going that way , I have had a couple in the past and they shot well. Not that I need it but I just wanted to try the 6 cm. It’s That rabbit hole disease ya know.

I was in the same boat as you are. I wanted a 6cm for varmit and deer hunting. I've always had very good luck with CZ's so I bought the 600 Alpha. It was a huge disappointment! Could not get it to shoot for anything. The stock was very flimsy. I put a bipod on it and the forearm would flex almost 3/8th's of an inch.
I ended up with a Bergara in 6cm and have been really happy with it. Hope this helps
