Deciding between a Marlin or one of those CZ scout rifles like the 527. Main difference being Marlins are lever action and CZs are bolt. Is it a personal preference thing or does one outshine the other in terms of fire rate, accuracy, reliability and so on?
Honestly, either is fine. Just depends whether you like the cowboy aesthetic or the 20th century aesthetic.
Bolts are easier to maintain and scope. Also there is a wider aftermarket. I like Savage bolt guns but as long as you don't get a new Remington you're good.

No preference, I feel like bolts would be easier prone though. Not that I do a lot of that but just in case.

I own both a CZ527 in 7.62x39 and a Marlin 336A in 30-30 they are both enjoyable to shoot, but I shoot strictly offhand with them as the effectiveness of both cartridges is drastically reduced at further then 200 yards.
I only prone with bolt guns at further distances...
With that being said, choose the action you prefer. I personally prefer the lever, but hate loading it.
