Jolly Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Hi All, I have a put in a variation for an extra .22lr and it has been granted just wondering what to go for Dont want to spend too much as I over spent getting the sako, I'm thinking of a synthetic stocked bolt action rifle what d you recomend and what should I pay ? I dont need a scope so it seems pointless to buy a rifle and scope package. I'm leaning towards a CZ but will listen to all advice from here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bicykillgaz Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Get a cz and you'll wonder why you bothered with the sako, accuracy wise there will be no difference, saki looks a tiny bit better but that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wont go wrong with a CZ, ATB Flynny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puggers Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Completely agree with the other posters - CZ is the way to go due to availability and all round credibility in the market. It's then a question of whether new of pre-owned as you can certainly get good deals in both markets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 I assume you dont need a scope coz you already have one, not that you are going with open sights? purely wanting a set of open sights will narrow your search if its the latter case. I should go CZ 452 they are great guns and very widely available, indeed you will struggle to find a proper dealer who hasnt got one more than one who has. also very available on the private market expect to pay around 250 without scope secondhand and you can afford to be choosy at that price range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samboy Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Iv'e had my CZ 7yrs, just tweaked the trigger, would buy another one tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimfireboy Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 CZ style. All weather and brilliant for the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jam1e Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Same as all the others, CZ 452 is a great gun! I have one in .22lr and one in .17hmr. Both are the the "Silhouette" version. Plastic stock, blued metal work. But as has been mentioned, the "Style" is very good against the elements. I bought the £14.00 trigger kit for both. And it made it even better! Only took half an hour to fit to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullet1747 Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Cz all the way love mine to bits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Well, generally you will be unlikely to go wrong with a CZ. BUT, "another" .22lr, so what did you have in mind to do with it? That will very likely effect what to buy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepasty Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 I've got two CZ, my .22lr is a 511, I picked it up used for £150 with moderator and scope... after a good cleaning and some fettling shes a lovely little rifle... I also like that its used and I'm not too precious about it, its my Go To gun. I also have a new 455 in .17hmr... which is very nice too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolly Posted October 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Hi Dekkers what i was going to do was set the Sako up in 17 hmr leaving the other barrel (counts as a rifle on My FAC) in the cabinet and get a dedicated .22lr or seeing the prices the sako barrel goes at sell thsat to fund the CZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1in9 Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 Another CZ thumbs up Loads about second hand. You could consider a deal on one with a battered stock (but sound action) for a song and then buy a lovely stock from Boyd's for £120 delivered. http://www.boydsgunstocks.com/Replacement-Stocks-for-CZ-s/156.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a fan of the barrel change malarkey but I'm sure it suits some. For the price of a Sako Quad with a couple of barrels you could potentially have 2 COMPLETE rifle setups in CZ!

Jolly Posted October 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 saying that $61 is a bit steep for shipping ! could someone legally bring one over from the states in their luggage ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiedenny Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 CZ 452 cheap as chips but shoots a darn lot better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolly Posted October 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 As I understand it the Brno has the same action as the CZ452 so it drops straight into the CZ stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1in9 Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 As I understand it the Brno has the same action as the CZ452 so it drops straight into the CZ stock Pretty much, you might need some light dremel work but nothing major. Well worth the effort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
