I'm pretty new to hunting in the last 3-4 years, and just whitetails at this point. Currently shooting a Tikka T3 laminated stainless in 270win with a Zeiss Terra 3-9x42 scope. I love the gun and have taken a deer each of the last 2 years with it. It's plenty accurate and I like the look of it. BUT...now I find myself lusting after something in an oil finished walnut with blued barrel. I've taken a good long look at the CZ 557 lux at my local shop and it shoulders really nicely for me. Then I came across this:

Anyone have any experience with these? Not many dealers near me but I'd love to shoulder one just to see the fit. What reviews I've found sound pretty solid but some publications just seem to give everything a thumbs up.
I don't want a safe queen that I'm scared to mark up, but just something good looking and functional in a more classic look than what I have. Probably will lean to .30-06 this time around in case I end up on a moose hunt.
If I can't get my hands on one I'll probably look harder at a Vanguard.
Any feedback would be much appreciated.
