abadshot Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 I was just wondering after my last post asking to choose between a 1022 and a semi auto cz, is it worth buying second hand, do you get many problems with cycling ammunition etc or would you pay a little more and go for new? Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fenix Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 hi there buy new and if you have got any issues with it take it back simple If you buy a used one from a gunshop you can take it back if you have problems. Yes I would buy a used .22 semi, actually I already have a bought two .22s ones a semi ones a BA. My semi is a CZ, and its been chopped down to make it a nice rifle for lamping from the landrover. Ammo wise never seen why people see this as a big problem, try a few and stick with what works best, the same as with every other type of gun I own. My one loves Eley, hates Winchester. Then again the bolt action has trouble feeding Eley, but is fine with Winchester. Think I paid about £100 for the semi. if your buying used check for signs of wear in the mag well, and the bolt carrier. Downside with my old semi is that the stock comb is low if your using a scope, thats one reason I considered getting a Marlin 7000 a while back.

Billy. Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 If you don't own a bolt action .22, I'd advise you not to buy the S/A and to buy the bolt action first. I made the mistake of buying a S/A first. It hardly gets used now as my CZ bolt is perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just waiting for my FAC to drop through the letter box, I've got a Quad waiting to be picked up from my local RFD, I've also got a slot for a second .22lr so was going to get a semi auto.

welshwarrior Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 My last 10/22 I bought new and had to shoot it a bit to bed it in then it became less fussy and grouped better to A non abused S/H one would be broken already.

wildfowler.250 Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 I would say go second hand and if you don't like it then you should'nt make as much of a loss when you move it on,(compaired to buying new). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triscrx Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 I have a Semi auto BRNO from 1966 and it is very accurate and I have no issues at all with cycling ammo. Only downside is the Semi's are quite noisy compared to a bolt action. Will be selling mine soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
