30-6 Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 Still haven't filled the .22lr slot on my FAC yet because I can't make my mind up. Wood or synthetic stock, never had a synthetic but not really a problem I suppose, so it comes down to gun model choice. Style - I feel the barrel is too shiny, (is this exactly the same as the silhouette apart from the finish?). American - Never had a straight stock. So it's down to the Silhouette or the Varmint Help Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 I have the style and the barrel is matte to start with and then gets more so with time, so I don't find that a problem. If I bought again, I would buy the same only in 16" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the pelt man Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 I've got the 16" style, it's just right with a mod on the end. & no its not shiny. Don't forget to get a trigger kit for it at the same time. PELTMAN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
30-6 Posted October 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 Thanks for the info, I've only seen the Style in pictures, and thought it had a shiny barrel. Is the style the same apart from the finish as the silhouette? If so why chose the silver over the blacked barrel? It seems now that a 16" barrel is preffered over standard lenght.

Dunkield Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 Is the style the same apart from the finish as the silhouette? If so why chose the silver over the blacked barrel? The barrel is Nickel (not stainless steel) so doesn't need to be loked after quiet so carefully for the lazy shooters out there! I think the silhouette is the same just with a blue barrel. I've got the 16" style, it's just right with a mod on the end. & no its not shiny. Don't forget to get a trigger kit for it at the same time. PELTMAN Hi peltman.... why a trigger kit? cheers Some not alll, 452's have dodgy triggers, you can adjust the wight of pull of the standard one, but if it still doesn't feel right you can buy a 'trigger kit' from Eric Brooks for about 12 quid or so. Basically it is 4 softer springs and some aluminium tubes to take up creep, if you have loads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically it is 4 softer springs and some aluminium tubes to take up creep, if you have loads. SP is right, but when he says 4 softer springs you only use the one that you feel is the right trigger pull for you. I used the second stiffest. Also you only use one of the tubes supplied. I dont remember which tube i used to take up the creep, but my trigger set up is perfect for me. This topic has been covered in a earlyer post.

Peter_HMR Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 Course it has to be a CZ dont be silly Who else makes better rimfires for anywhere near there price? I have the classic and love it depends what you want to use it for and your taste. If your going to scope it and dont want iron sights no point going for any models with the hogsback. For offhand field shooting id go with the varmint as the extra weight lets it balance nicely or if your using the gun on the bench the stock is shaped better. For other field shooting id go with the american purely because i think its the nicest looking If its going to get rough treatment style or sillouette depending if you like the stainless barrel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckytrigger Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 Ive got a 452 in a sillouette stock with the 16' barrel and think its great! Barrel length is ideal for shooting from a vehcle too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilDot Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 I have a 16" varmint (heavey barrel) balance is abit front heavey but off a bipod or from a vehicle its great. I have put a trigger kit in too which makes the gun feel 100%better as i like light triggers. Make sure the barrel is free floating as mine was wasnt. As soon as i free floated it the accuracy became clver leafed at 50yrds opposed to 1" group.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshruger Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 A couple of friends have the varmit CZ, however I have a Ruger 10/22, had a good deal from Litts in Newport (£250). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jonrms Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 CZ is a great rifle. mine is wood stock... with a long barrel... (not sure but more than 16 inch...) and its great.. just make sure you get a 10 clip mag with it..... it helps alot.... I got 5 (5clip mags) and 1 (10 clip mag) and there great when your out in the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
