bedwards1966 Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 A BRNO/CZ would be a very good rifle - probably for as long as you'll live - and is well under your budget. They are simple, reliable and accurate, you will probably never need more from a rifle. If you want to spend more money there are many other makes available.

Outlander Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 Yep CZ452 ace for the money Outlander. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbit_stu Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 another for the cz452, unless you want the feel or extra qualitiy in your hands. i couldnt spend much more, so i didn't and my rifle hits rabbits and kills them. it works and im happy but dont be swayed by that, as other more expencive look feel and perform better, if not marginally if you can try before you buy i'd reccomend. if you ever down my way, pm and your welcome to try my cz452 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bullet boy Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 CZ 455 Thumbhole Varmint-STUNNING rifle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bicykillgaz Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 Cz-452 varmint with a sako mod, I've tried loads of mods and so far the sako is the quietest I've heard, not sure what they are now but I paid £30 for mine about 3yrs ago and can't fault it.

remy 700 Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 It looks like a sako mod then and I would get a 16inch barrel nice and handy , the synthetic stock handles great have a look at dss rifles for a bench mark on prices.p.s good choice imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bicykillgaz Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 (edited) I've not handled the synthetic stocks, personally I'd go for wood and stick a boyds thumbhole on it for £120 im a bit biased though as thats what ive done, if you can't find a sako mod everyone seems to rate sak's highly either would do the job. I'd see if I could pick up a decent secondhand rifle and put anything you save towards your scope. Edited May 5, 2012 by bicykillgaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chr15j Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 I went with 16" heavy barrel varmint cz452. Cracking gun but lack of comb is proving annoying now I have a big scope. Planning on a boyds thumbhole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planning on a boyds thumbhole The thumbhole stock feels great its a really natural position for me and he stock looks great too and comes fully finished/inleted unlike a lot of uk based stocks.

Thedeerman Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 I bought a cz452 with a 20'' barrel that the dealer couldn't shift because everybody wants short 16' ' ones. It was brand new and had sat on the rack for a year. I got it for £125 cheaper than I could find a new one in 16''. The barrel is being cut down in a few weeks to suit the new over barrel mod that I have on order and is costing £45! With the over barrel mod on the total length will only be about 17'' and the gun, chopping and mod is cheaper than a 16'' version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bedwards1966 Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 On a .22lr having a shorter barrel tends to be an advantage as it makes the rifle lighter and less clumsy, without losing pressure which can occur with higher velocity calibres. 16" is a good length, though shorter is still OK. It doesn't usually cost a fortune to get a barrel shortened if you can only easily get a long one. At least with CZ's you can get thumb-hole stocks, wood and synthetic, so there is something for everybody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
