Buy recommendations Poll: Need a .223 to burn ammo

I know one is a bolt action and the other is a straight pull, both would get a new AR Magpul stock / and buffer tube for the CZ, and both would get the LPVO treatment. Just looking at hitting steel in the 100-200 yard range, with some closer (50 yards and in) target shooting. Built quality and reliability is important to me. I have .223 ammo but no longer anything to shoot with so one of these would be it. Both rifles are basically the same price.

What’s your choice?

Unfortunately CZ's controversy has left a sour taste in my mouth. Was a big fan before, but can not purchase any more CZ stuff. Go Canadian with the MRA Renegade.

I own an early serial Bison. I have experienced a few light strike issues. Contacted BCL for the firing pin/ Bolt upgrades. BCL warranty was quick to respond and ship parts. It extracts perfectly, with maybe one light strike in 600 rounds.

Buy with confidence.
