I don't not sniff check either.Hehehe...I hope you do.
I do.
Factory trigger w spring swap.
Bet most hunters do too.
Unfortunately people want a rifle designed for folks that treat it with all the respect of a tennis racket.
The 700 is the most popular bolt action centerfire rifle in the USA. That probably means the world, too. I suspect this isn't by accident. Every custom gun builder learns 700s first because that's what people largely expect a custom bolt gun to be.
Big Green these days is not the company that built the reputation they are now destroying, IMO. With so many compelling options from rivals, my personal search for a bolt gun has not included a single Rem 700 variant.
Instead, I'm looking at Savage, Howa, Bargara, and Tikka.
I wanted the CZ 527 but had to rule it out because 1) the factory twist is too slow in .243 and 2) I don't think I can replace the barrel myself.

The CZ in the .243 is the 550 model. I have a full-stock that I've never shot yet. I have several of the 527 in 17 Hornet, 22 Hornet, .222 and .204, and for me, they're perfect. The set trigger is as nice as I'll ever need, and adjustable if you want to go really light. The non-set mode is adjustable too, but I havn't touched any of mine. I don't tinker to much with my CF rifles, so changing a barrel is not a problem for me.
Well.... I learned something.
I've just never kept any stock for too long.
Same thing with buying a new (back in the 80s) Colt 1911s.
First thing I do is take them to my smith for..... everything. I did buy a Colt Officers once and shoot it stock. Some people told me the brass tends to eject all over the place and I wanted to see it for myself. I took it to a local field and shot a few standing next to my car at the front bumper. It spit a few shells on my hood so I went to the right of the car. Wasn't bad but a couple went wild and hit my car again. One chipped the paint. So I walked away from anything. First shot the shell came back and nailed me in the forehead.
I packed it up and went straight the my smith.
Those people were right.
I've always been one of those "always looking for a way to improve it" kinda people. And no my name is not Buba.
No love for the Ruger m77? Have one in 30-06 I intend on hunting with this year.

I'd like a stainless ADL in .25-06 in modified black Tupperware (old style stock) or drop it in an HS.
Think that'd be a dandy deer rifle, for here or out west.
Alas, think I'd have to get a BDL and swap it over to ADL.
You are correct that previous CZ model in .243 was the 550 but the current CZ in .243 is the Model 557 which is a cheaper, push feed model lacking the single set trigger option. CZ has apparently discontinued the 550 models except for magnum and Safari models.
