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?

I have a trail in 7.62x39. Love it. Absolute tack driver. See my post history.

Be aware the 223/5.56 prefers things on the heavier side and may not hit its' accuracy potential with bulk 55gr. it'll likely be ~2MOA with 55/62gr, probably closer to 1MOA with heavier above-62 grain loads.

Thx for this! Good point on twist rate, and I have mostly 55gr stuff..
