@Steve123 I don't think either the T1x or the CZ457 is inherently better than the other, both are capable of great accuracy with both the factory barrels and/or after market barrels.
I prefer the Tikka magazines, quicker and easier to change than CZ ones, and they are less prone to catching on things due to the shape.

The CZ is available in a wider range of rifles which is nice, the T1x in it's basic form really needs a few mods right out of the box (normal butt pad at a minimum) which is annoying, but for a hunting rifle the 16" T1x with the butt pad and vertical grip is a extremely capable rifle. I wish I'd bought a 20" model as I do more competition shooting that hunting but lots of guys use the 16" model in comps and do just fine.

I bought mine before the CZ457 was available, in some regards I think the CZ might be a safer bet, especially if there is a particular model that suits what you want to do.
However if you are going to upgrade the stock/chassis on it then it think you could go either way.
