Guest kenny Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 Hi folks I am out my depth on civilian rifles. I am after getting a .17 HMR and a .22LR and am looking for ones with a free floating barrel. If they do them can anyone recommend some good ones. I do know everyone will say theirs is the best. But it will give me a start point. Any don’t touch will be great. Cheers Kenny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildfowler.250 Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 (edited) majority of comments will say get a cz. if not sako,annie or weihrauch. Sak mod is good and a trigger kit for the Cz (£11) makes massive difference to some Edited May 12, 2011 by CZ452 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kent Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 the cz 452 17 hmr has a floating barrel and is very good dont know about .22 with floating barrel though Depends on the definition of floating it has clearance all round on my Varmint though the barrel holds the front fixinf screw via a dovetail- Shoots though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kenny Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 (edited) A floating barrel is just that it doesnt touch anything after the receiver CZ 452 in sinthetic is looking good as that is the one I was thinking about Cheers Kenny Edited May 12, 2011 by kenny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad1 Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 A floating barrel is just that it doesn’t touch anything after the receiver CZ 452 in sinthetic is looking good as that is the one I was thinking about Cheers Kenny yeah thats the one i have its called the "style" mine is the 20 inch barrel i would highly recomend it they say if you change the trigger spring it makes them even better mine is gettin done soon ( isnt it luckyshot ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Browning GTS Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Anchutz 1517 free floating barrel. Most top RF target shooters use Anchutz cost a bit more but do the job for ever. Never looked back since getting mine a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
