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?

MRA is going to be more accurate than the cz600 trail. Trail only has 2moa guarantee and guys report 1-3moa. Plus MRA has some aftermarket available. I have a Troy SAR, similar straight pull AR ish rifle and I quite enjoy it. I also have a Cz600 Alpha and it is incredibly smooth with a fantastic trigger, but that's the Alpha not the trail, although I think the action is the same. CZ should have given the Trail an aluminum chassis instead of the plastic one it comes with.

Thx for your analysis! I forgot about the Troy straight pull, will have to take a look at those, not sure if it’s still available in Canada now. How do you like it, quality build and reliable?
