George1990 Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 An HMR is an HMR, and all models will do exactly the same. There is the CZ American, which has a more traditional stock and a light barrel, the Varmint, which has a heavy barrel and a slightly different stock, the Sillhouette, which has a synthetic stock and blued barrel and the Style which has a syn stock and a stainless barrel. It is down to which you like the look of. The inside of the barrels and the action are the same. I prefer a short barrel as it then doesn't knock into things so often, and the look of a heavy barrel. I have a CZ Varmint in HMR, and found it to be very reliable and accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mick miller Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 I'm with George, if it were me I'd go for the Varmint! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullet boy Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 I had a CZ American-lovely rifle it was. :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardo Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 personal taste really mate - i like the short silhouette, as i can swing it out the window of the frontera easily and when it gets banged about the stock doesn't splinter (synthetic).

al4x Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 it would be the 16" with varmint barrel for me, i've got the standard barrel and its a tad long for a truck gun but that said shoots very well and is a lot easier to get out of the window than the .223 with mod :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20alex09 Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Ive got the 16" silohuette. I would recommend the Brookes trigger kit as I found the standard trigger had a fair bit of creep and the pull was a tad heavy. Even with a mod on the end its still easy to use from within a vehicle.
