My fav Grendel now is the new Ruger American Ranch with the 10 round AR magazine. You can get mdt chassis for these also.
For me the Howa metal is fantastic, in the mdt chassis the trigger is pretty far back in the guard so youll want a grip with the rubber back strap that goes up and rearward to make the reach to trigger a little longer, I run ergo slim grips. Great for kids though. Also even though the trigger is crisp and adjusts easily, not a fan of the feel of the blade or the two stage pull. The ruger has creep and an accutrigger dual stage but I like it better and its positioned better and has better physical feel. The cz is my fav trigger of the three all the way around, feel, single stage, can be adjusted to nearly creep free and about 2 3/4 lbs which I love. The Howa magazine is the size of a 10 round AR mag yet only hold 5 and feels cheap af, often doesnt feed all 5, last two tip down after a shot and thats it. Absolutely hate the mags on the Howa...enough that it really levels off any enthusiasm for the rifles.
The materials and feel of the cz after slicking and polishing is fantastic. Love the magazine and all metal/wood construction. Handle and feels are fantastic.
The ruger has next best feels and a little better handling feel. Anyway, the ruger has become my fav of the three, its doing more right than the other two imo. The biggest thing Id like to see on the ruger is a bolt handle that locks down on safe and a less tacky and squishy recoil pad and if I was wish listing one other change it would be give me a stainless version.
