First suggestion is to get a keyboard   

Second is that your real problem will be finding a CZ in any of those except 375. I looked locally for 6.5 for a while but finally gave up.  I never even saw one in 9.3 even online.  That leaves the 375 and if you are not shooting over 300 you are good to go. Most people think of it as a light safari caliber but modern loads with lighter bullets make it a very versatile caliber.

What are you going to use it for?

I think the 6.5x55 is good for thin skinned game and long range target.  The 9.3x62 is a friggin' hammer and is good for hunting all kinds of big game, including dangerous game.

I just picked up a ever-so-slightly used 9.3 Medium Lux, which I plan to take to Africa for the large antelopes. I may even try it on Alaska brown bear if I get the chance.  It would also be good for jaguar in Colombia or Bolivia.
