The difference in the materials used, the methods of mfg, etc are what I’ve noticed the most. Like on the Tikka it’s the cold hammer forged barrel instead of the button rifling that savage uses. The blueing is a lot better quality just by looking at it. The bolt on the Tikka only has a 70° bolt lift to unlock it. There is absolutely no “stiffness”. You open the bolt and if you tip the rifle up it will fall completely open, tilt it down and it slides home. It’s like it’s riding on ceramic bearings. The trigger is great and easily adjustable.
The CZ I have uses a mini Mauser action, so it’s a controlled feed. The blueing is excellent and the wood stock is high quality unlike other domestic rifles. The trigger is superb and very adjustable. You can not only adjust the weight of the pull, but the amount of takeup you want, how much, if any, overtravel it has...
