.17 is a lot more money then a .22 you can pick up a .22 and sound mod for under £100.

For the .22 i would say go for a CZ 452, they are great, reliable and accurate rifles, you'll probably be able to get a new one for not much more than £200.

 

I cant advise on the .17Hmr but i'd guess a CZ 452 HMR would be just as good as the .22 versions.

 

Hope this helps

do they come in a synthetic finish

[Ferretboy111]

They do, but are a ****** to get around my area, you would have to order one in.

The only synthetics i know of that are easily aquired are the Savage 93r17 f rifle, one could choose a cz varmint 17 or cz american 17, all really priced the same at 285 new and shoot really well.

CZ 452 .22lr lux would be a good starter, with a Parker hale Mod.

If you are new to firearms, its best to get something decent that will last. Even if you have to work for a while to buy them.. My guns took well over 3 months to pay of, but they will last me half a lifetime.

CZ's are very relaible and well priced. If you see a good deal on one, go for it.

my gun took about 1 week to pay off but about half a year to arrive

 

The CZ's are very good, but i would still have a anschutz or Sako finfire over them (if i was choosing a .22) IF i had the money. However for what you get, the CZ's are very good, but dont expect them to be twice the gun for half the price. You get what you pay for give or take. Unless it is the brooks trigger kit for the CZ, which is a MUST HAVE.

[DaveK]

Depending on what you intend to shoot bear in mind that some rifles can be quite heavy if you've a small frame or not too strong in the upper body. CZ Varmint is superb but if you're walking any distance with it can become quite heavy to hold. For prone or benchrest target shooting it doesn't matter.

 

Your best bet is to get round some RFD's and pick and play with up a few different ones. You'll find one that does it for you sooner or later. It's all well and good us telling you how good different rifles are, but in the end it will be you shooting it and you that needs to be comfortable holding and aiming it. Just because a rifle is the dogs nuts, doesn't mean it's the one for you.

 

Best of luck

Dave

 

By the way, I've got a ruger 10/22 which is a superb bunny gun (Hogue stock, Trigger job, extended mag release, Tasco World Class scope and a Volquartzen tensioned 12" barrel). It works for me. I used to have a CZ Varmint that could shoot out the staples holding a target at 40 yards on a good day but I couldn't get on with it in the field, so it had to go.

[the last engineer]

Dave , how do you find that tentioned barrel, i do have problems in the summer with mine, over heaating and groups spreading, she's all tricked out trigger stock barrel , just doesnt shoot as well as my hammerforged o/s match barrel .

thanks for advice the FAO came today so not long. do like the look of the sako quad but lot of cash gonna look around and see what i like. want to buy rifle all ready to meet those wabbits

[JRDS]

I have a CZ 452 Silhouette and the stock is nice and solid unlike the tinny hollow Quad which I tried and quickly put back in the rack. Mine is the 16 inch and for £250 you will not buy better, it will be as accurate as anything else you can buy also.

[Axe]

Graham, I love my Quad and despite the number of CZ owners here and every other forum, I don't think you'll find one that will argue the action on the Quad is far superior. The stock is down to personal choice, but it does me fine.

 

But consider your options wisely, you can pick a secondhand Anschutz 1417 thumbhole with mod, scope and spare mags for around £350 secondhand. Its a damn fine rifle. Superb trigger and deadly accurate. Its what I would have bought if I hadnt liked the Quad.

 

But as some have said, best bet is to go out and try a few. Don't be in a rush to get the first rifle you see when your ticket lands on the door step.
