stubby Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 Another CZ fan here! I was recently in your position and bought a .22LR Silhouette and am I mighty glad I did. I put a Nikko Stirling Gameking on it and a SAK mod and doubt I will ever part with it, I absolutely love it. One thing to remember, they are a whole hell of a lot more capable than you are, if you miss it's your fault!! Whatever you get, enjoy it mate! another silhouette fan here too, got mine from eastern sporting which aint far from wickford, £525 complete with sights and moderator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colster Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 I have 2 CZ Silhouettes (one in LR and one in HMR) both great guns that will do the necessary all day long. Couldn't justify the extra for an Annie/Sako etc and more than happy with them both. I find the newer CZ's have much lighter triggers than they used to but still a long creep. A SYSS or YoDave shim tube sorts that easy enough though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 CZ rimfire triggers settle in with time and become as sweet as honey with age, there have been quite a few instances of fiddlers making things dodgy so take care with s/h guns. I feel the rimfires get the bad trigger rep from some of thier c/fires with set triggers - the ones i have tried have been truely awfull when not in the set mode i am sure there will be odd ones with great triggers out of the box even in these though. The modern tendancy to turn field triggers into bench type triggers is to be avoided IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unusual that he removes so much as to make it nesassary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malkiserow Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 (edited) Unusual that he removes so much as to make it nesassary He said some are OK out of the box but most require extra work to make them up to the standard of the rest of the rifle. He is a rifle specialist and manufacturer. TBH I don't know enough about them from a technical perspective to know one way or the other. Maybe the original hardness of the faces on the moving parts are a bit variable? I did try some .22Lr triggers in Sportsman (Exeter) the other day. The Weirauch stood out as better than the CZ or Anni mechanisms. I was expecting the Anni to come out on top Edited August 17, 2010 by malkiserow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomhw100 Posted August 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 hi chaps Thank you all for your replies they've been a great help.

Just got wait for my variation now. Cheers! Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham M Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 The Weirauch stood out as better than the CZ or Anni mechanisms. I was expecting the Anni to come out on top Anschutz make the best out-of-the-box triggers on any rifle. I can only assume that the one you tried was a bad one. G.M.

Celticranger Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 hi chaps Ive recently acquired my F.A.C and im struggling to decide what rimfire to get. At the moment CZ seems to be the thing and i do really like the CZ varmint with the new thumbhole stock,it just seems everyone has cz's now a days. I want a bolt action-used a ruger 10-22 to many times! haha. what other good .22's is there your thoughts are always appreciated! Cheers Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celticranger Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 Browning T bolt, I have had one for approx 30 years, utterly reliable. spot on accurate. Must have put 70-80thousand rounds through it and still seems to improve. Fit Parker Hale silencer, use Eley or Rws ammo, brilliant rifle.
