Rifle choice. What to pick when you don't know what you need!

[jglsprings]

Since I'm getting to spend your money I chose the CZ 550 Varmint .308 25" €950. Everyone needs a varmint rig.

Lot's of help I'm sure - you can thank me later when you put a scope that costs more than the rifle on it.

Congratulations on the purchase of your CZ 550 varmit in 308. CZ's are known as accurate rifles straight from the box.
Now go and shot that rifle & become proficient with its use. Once you have tried various factory ammunition &/or tweaked your handloads you should be able to achieve regular 1 inch 5 shot groups at 100 yards. The CZ's are capable of this.
Once you have achieved this on a regular basis, start worrying about match barrels & other modifications in your quest for sub MOA groups.
If you have practised enough & can achieve sub MOA groups regularly at 200 yards, then the 1000 yard targets may be a challenge for you.
I always find it amusing when people on the internet say they want a 1000 yard capable rifle without being able to shoot proficiently at 100 ,200 ,300 yards.
I wait in anticipation for the thread titled-"I've bought a second-hand CZ550 varmit in 308 & it doesn't group". If this is the case you should have gone the .223.

I voted "something else" and I had in mind a Savage 111 long range hunter.

For a final purchase, there in the Baltics, how about a nice combo or drilling?

"Thanks for all the pointers, folks, but I think we have a winner!" said the OP.

Looks like a closing statement.
