point and shoot Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 Hi all, I am about to move into .22 rim fire. I need to choose a rifle and would be interested to hear from anyone who had used two or more of the above and their observations on each as to a) accuracy b) barrel length c) reliability d) wood or composite stock e) value for money Cheers Les Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz2202 Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 I've used all of the above along with a Sako. The cz, annie and Sako all very similar in accuracy. The browning I struggled with the t bolt and lost out on too many shots. (That's a personal thing) The ruger I still own. It's ammo selective / fussy but does a good all round job but is also noisy on the cycle. Personal choice. I would go for the Sako everytime in quad format as its a great add on to just buy a barrel in HMR at a later date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycho Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 (edited) Have a look at the Weihrauch hw60j better than a cz for not much more money superb trigger.amazing walnut stock available in 14 inch from sportsman's £525..last few no longer available I was in your boat last week and looked for advice reviews etc and on Friday purchased the hw60j I also own an Annie 1517 in .17 hmr deluxe 16 inch and the Annie is very good is it worth £300 more than the hw..the hw will have a better trigger (17 single stage) I am waiting for the hw to arrive so cant comment on accuracy but looking at reviews and sending pm to owners its very good very accurate I have also owned a mark 1 sako finnfire which is accurate but long and is the same weight as the wh the Annie is a pound and a half lighter I found the finnfire plastically but they hold there price Edited November 23, 2015 by psycho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kernel gadaffi Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 CZ, fit a Brooks trigger and you have a great gun at a fraction of most of the others, top it with a Hawke scope and mod, you are ready to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Green Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 The Ruger is made for a different market, They can be upgraded but only at a cost and will never have the accuracy of a CZ for example. Its a no brainer really, CZ every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telf Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 cant comment on the other two or the weihrauch but cz,annie,sako,all very good rifles, accuracy probably nothing in it, barrel length 14" or 16",makes no difference, reliability,again nothing in it,other than the cz bolt may need "running in a bit,and you may need a trigger kit stock,whichever you prefer,ive had both and prefer wood value for money,you wont go wrong with a cz,sako a bit overpriced and i have one,if you want more refinement,the best trigger you can get imo,and superb build quality,go for the annie whichever you get,enjoy it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was quite interested in that at one stage! Thanks to all. much appreciated. Some good pointers. All points of view appreciated.

English Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 Point and Shoot, the T Bolt is a nice rifle but the action can be a bit "sticky" when they are new so slower than a semi, however for me the biggest flaw with them is the trigger whih has little (if any) adjustment. I have CZ, Ruger and Sako, another vote for the Sako from me, but also the CZ if you get the trigger kit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz2202 Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 Blimey. Mr 'English' has posted. 11 years a member and only 18 posts !!! Anyway. Yes English was spot on. The trigger is not great. Also the t bolt is stiff and I would say unconventional. Like I said. It may have just been me and what I was used too. It was a new gun. As I and others have said. A CZ with a trigger done is a great piece of kit for the right money. But my Sako quad just feels that little more quality. But it still shoots the same groups as the cz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alycidon Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 I have owned an Annie 1712, a Ruger 10/22 and a CZ. Best undoubtedly was the Annie 1712, very accurate but an awkward safety catch. CZ needs the trigger sorting after which they are a perfectly good tool. My factory 10/22 was awful, certainly not a humane pest control rifle, 3 inch groups at 50 yards. Having re tubed it it then became an ideal rifle for sub 65 yard stuff especially when fast follow ups are needed. Horses for courses really.

team tractor Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 I have a cz455 and i can't fault it buttttt I had a go with an Annie the other day and wow it's an amazing but of kit. The trigger is sweet and it's better balanced , lighter, and just so nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
