Dougy Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 Your choice, you need to look fot , Mag capacity Ease if use, Mount prices, Length, Weight, Cost, maybe Left or right handed What it's appearance to you, do you like the look of it. There aren't many out there that wont be good shooters. I have an Annie but that was bought from a practical point only. It does a job. .

bicykillgaz Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 Cz452 in any variation you like the feel of, not as pretty as the anschutz or sako's of the world but just as accurate for field work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njc110381 Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 (edited) CZ all the way. Can't fault their rifles and they're not too expensive. Edit... Actually, sometimes the trigger can be a bit pants, but it's easily sorted with the spring and tube kit. Given their solid build and accuracy I'm willing to overlook that small issue.

billytheghillie Posted August 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 thanks guys, had cz on my short list, time for a hands on me thinks one more question (if you can be bothered) wood or synthetic stock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 I have a wooden stock on my .17HMR, which is nice, but I'm afraid of scratching it. And I have a synthetic stock on my .22LR which I think is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitebridges Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 (edited) If you're going to do a lot of shooting from a truck with confined space think about getting something with a short barrel say 14 inches and a mod on top. Longer and they are harder to move about. Wood works just fine on a .22 LR all a matter of opinion. Go for what you fancy and enjoy. I can recommend an Anschutz. 1417 but they are a good bit more money than the CZ. Edited August 10, 2013 by Whitebridges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 If it was me I'd go for the 16" sporter barrel, Sak mod and wood stock. But the synthetic is just as good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 CZ or BRNO (the same thing in all intents and purposes) 22lr or 17hmr depending on use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimLondon Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 Depends on your budget but have a look at the savage TRR-SR a great bit of kit IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What he said! My old CZ452 holds just as good a group as my buddies new Sako quad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathanM Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Nobody mentioning the Ruger 10/22? Some people have issues, but I think the target tactical is absolutely spot on, always cycles and very accurate! Although probably not as accurate as an anschutz...

clivegtiguy Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 I recently changed my CZ452 American 22lr for a Ruger 10/22. The Ruger is great and much more fun to shoot and customisation is limitless....... but... it would not come close to the CZ in terms of accuracy. Its accurate enough ok and a good hunter but its wont put bullet hole on bullet hole like the CZ. I am a big fan of CZ and also have a 455 Varmint barrelled 17HMR with a laminated thumbhole stock and it groups sub one inch at 200 yards. The same version is available in .22 and I would highly recommend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chr15j Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Agree, I have a 16" varmint 452 .22 and its great Should be getting a .17hmr of the same soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malkiserow Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Not knocking the CZ's as they are good - I have one in .17hmr. For a .22 lr for field use....... I would really not buy new, they go on for ages with little effort...... I'd find a nice full set up second hand even from a dealer and use the rest of your budget to buy a .17 hmr as well. Much better to not worry about a 2nd hand gun for lamping etc I got a cheap as chips Anschutz which is fantastically accurate - the big plus is that the magazine release is on the back of the mag not the front like CZ's to you are unlikely to lose a magazine such as shooting from a vehicle and resting it on the wing mirror.
