Bolt action, Remington, Savage, or CZ

I want to build a 300 Whisper bolt gun. Originally I was going to go with a Remington 700 but am concerned with the ejection problems with the Remington.
I've never shot a Savage but have they seem to have a good rep. and always heard good things about the accu-trigger. It looks like it's easy to swap the barrel on the Savage. Anything special to so for headspace? Any extraction or feeding problems like the Remington.
I don't know anyone with the CZ but, I like the Mauser type bolt on the CZ. It looks like the CZ shouldn't have any feeding or extraction problems. In a CZ I would look at the 527.

For the more experianced, which would make the best build?

Medic, I have been made aware of some feeding issues with the CZ... may be remedied by a 7.62 X 39 magazine as a fix.
Rems..Savages either eject or dont and its been an individual rifle sort of thing...Some work with a little "technique" while working the bolt.
Howa seems to work best for me thus far.

Others mileage will likely vary.

I have a remington 700 and it shoots through the same hole at 100 yards with subsonics. Sometimes the bolt drops the brass but if I had to do it again I would go with the 700.

No feeding problems and there are plenty of aftermarkets parts.

I'm not really familier with Howa. I don't have a particular brand in mind but, I don't want to shell out for a custom and have it not function without problems.

Look to the CZ.. all in all a better platform from which to build. Mag issue is a simple fix.. on the 527 223 mags you will need to remove a little metal from the sides to allow smooth function.

You might consider a Tikka as well. My M595 works great except for a longer than needed bolt travel.
I don't have a T3 but I would think that would work?
