CZ 600 Alpha vs Mauser M18

Been thinking about a new bolt gun. I've boiled it down to a CZ 600 or Mauser M18. They're both around the same $, and can be had in 6.5 PRC which is a round that interests me based off the hype around it, and doesn't require a long action like a .270 or 30-06. I like the CZ 600 American, but it can't be had in 6.5 PRC. I'm not necessarily stuck on 6.5 PRC. I've always wanted a 30-06, but a .300 Win Mag is a badarse round and both can be had in the CZ 600 American. Still I think the CZ 600 Alpha is a more head to head comparison to the Mauser M18. Both use synthetic stocks. Both sell for $600-$650 generally. (You can definitely pay more for finish options, what round they're chambered in, or like any other gun they may be on sale then they're not) I do like how they're priced like Glocks, and not like Staccato's like some of your higher-end offerings are.

What do y'all think, Mauser M18 or CZ 600 Alpha for a bolt gun?

I've had such good luck with CZ products that I'd have a hard time saying no to that. I have way too many deer rifles - seems like they are my weakness. After .22s. And defense oriented handguns. And, and, and.

My last go around I went with the Benelli Lupo in 308. I have a Savage 6.5 CM rifle that's tough to beat. But I do love my Remington 783 (also a 'barrel nut' rifle) in 270.

Me too. I love my CZ pistols, and I've always heard good things about their shotguns and rifles, but the Mauser intrigues me. It's not a Kar98K based rifle, but still cool nonetheless. I have noticed it's price growing over the last year or 2. I highly dig its old school camo pattern, but that new wood stock on the M18 Pure is sharp, and it seems to be a higher-end gun overall than the composite stock, judging by the barrel with a standard 15x1 thread, and all the options that it can be chambered in. (8x57 Mauser for example which isn't offered on the cheaper variants.) Still investing in a CZ is almost a sure bet that you're getting an excellent firearm.
