I've got a .243 CZ550 Varmint Synthetic stock with heavy barrel. Advantages are the kevlar stock means its quite light but the heavy barrel weighs a ton. If it's mainly target shooting you're after then I'd go for this one, but its quite lumpy to be lugging around the countryside. On the plus side it's built like a tank so if you drop it or whack it against something it wont be damaged. A lot of people seem to have the impression that CZ make inferior products, take it from one that knows that this is not the case. Happy shopping!!!
