+ 1 for the CZ's. I have 2 and both will shoot 1/2 inch 5 shot groups at 50 yards using Wolf or SK edge to edge. Three dollar a box Eley Sport is not much worse. A shooting buddy gave me a box of Eley Match black his BR gun did not like and the American shot 1 ragged holes with it.

If you just want large capacity get a Marlin 60, I have 1 in Stainless and it is nice to look at and reliable as heck. Accuracy is so so with Walmart bulk ammo but it can kill tin cans at 50 yards pretty well. I don't shoot it as much as I should, that tubular mag can be a pain as others have pointed out.

Another suggestion would be to check out some of the lever actions. I wish I still had my old Marlin 39A Mounty, dunno what possessed me to ever sell that gun.
