From what the OP stated he wanted the rifle for and have been a owner of both actions in grendel.
The howa is going to be the better rifle for his needs.
Live my cz grendel and while I have no issues with running the bolt and feeding. It will never be as smooth feeding as the howa.
Also the simple and not overly priced up grade to a dip bottom metal and mag release for the howa, makes it that much more a step up over the cz grendel for the OP's needs.
Now that said, for a deer/hog rifle that doesnt need to be ran as fast as possible and a target playing rifle. The how will never trump the cz for speed(longer barrel versions available in the cz) the trigger is simply amazing and there are aftermarket options for a cut down nearly flush fit mag for the cz.
Also the cz's metal mag is capable of being windowed and running 4 rounds at a load length the howa cant come close to touching and those allowing more speed for those long reach loads.
But for a fast pointing/swinging game gun over hounds the howa has the cz beat hands down.
