ME Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 OK, I am too lazy to do my own homework. What is the difference between the American, Silohuette, Varmint and the rest of the CZ range ? I am looking for a rough tough HMR for shooting from a 4x4, which one do I get ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSS Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 Sillouhette and style are plastic stocks, one having stainless barrel and action, the other steel, the rest of the range are all the same really, wood stock blued barrel and action. The difference as far as I can see is barrel length and checkering on the stock. A rough tough model would be the sillouhette (I think) so that would be the one. I will be corrected if any of the above is wrong (very probable) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am looking for a rough tough HMR for shooting from a 4x4, which one do I get ? a cheap second hand one of any description, not enough to tell any difference in the field so go cheapest. Only thing you may want is a shorter barrel but its not essential if shooting off the top of the truck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 You want a Style or a Silhouette in 16" - it's that simple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ME Posted June 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 You want a Style or a Silhouette in 16" - it's that simple OK, I like the Style and I like the Silhouette.......but which ones best ? (said in a Harry Hill voice) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 The one that is best is the one you like the look of most, or is cheapest. They are all the same basic action and the main differences are the stock (Plastic/Wood) The barrel length(I prefer the 16" one) and whether it is stainless/ nickel plated or blued. I have a 452 American with a 16" barrel if you ever want to try it. They will all shoot better than most people can, and they don't need anything doing to them either. (Don't waste you cash on a trigger kit, they are not needed) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Don't waste you cash on a trigger kit, they are not needed) Hmmm in my opinion the trigger kit was well worth the 40 od quid, the CZ trigger was a bit snatchy and changing the trigger made it a lot smother and certainley improved the grouping FOR ME. but each to their own doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ME Posted June 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 I am getting "movement" looking at the Style. Is that what you meant MC ? > CZ STYLE < Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardo Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 shiny (style) or stealthy (silhouette), the choice is yours.... both synthetic and take the knocks well (mine fell out the window once). get the 16" though, much easier to shoot from a vehicle.

Zapp Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 The Style is the tarty version of the Silhouette. A Silhouette for tarts if you like. I use a Silhouette in .22 and whatever the one with the mahoosive 21 inch barrel is in .17HMR, which is fantastic but a bit unwieldy in the truck. Get a Silhouette :blink: ZB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardo Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 The Style is the tarty version of the Silhouette. A Silhouette for tarts if you like. Sounds ideal for ME then :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 ME, Yes thats the one but you really want a 16" barrel, add a moderator on a 22" and it will be far too long for shooting off the BADBOY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 The style is shiny at all the barrel has a shot balsted nickle finish. It does glint <a bit> if you catch in the lamp but that is about all. CZ porn... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardo Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 shiny is perhaps the wrong word (however tarty is not), no matching colour SAK eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ME Posted June 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 OK, so have done the "new gun" thing with my Ruger. If anyone wants a tarty £800+ Ruger 10/22 let me know :blink: I have just bought a previously enjoyed Varmint from my local gun shop. He chucked in a Mod, Mag and we negotiated for some lovely German glass too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njc110381 Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 Anyone know about Docter scopes ? 3/12 x 50 ?? I have a Docter on my .22lr. I guess you could call them the lower end of the German market and I think they run from the old Zeiss factory? No matter, they're very good scopes. I'd rate my 6x42 the same as a S&B quality wise, they're bomb proof and very clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colster Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 (edited) I have a Docter on my .22lr. I guess you could call them the lower end of the German market and I think they run from the old Zeiss factory? I thought it was the old Lisenfeld factory but you're probably right. I have a Lisenfeld 8x56 and that is up there with the rest of the Germans for optical quality, took it out the other night around half ten and was amazed how much I could still see through it.... just need a gun to put it on now.

If you want a rufty tufty workhorse go for the 'Style' as it has the synthetic stock and Nickelled barrel which provides a tough weatherproof coating for the barrel which wont have to be constantly wiped clean of fingerprints like bluing. Get a 16" barrel version for use from a vehicle. Cheers Shaun Edited June 24, 2010 by peek-at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
