wymberley Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Anschutz or Weihrauch. But really they're all pretty good, some just better than others and some have triggers which leave a lot to be desired or sorted. The one point in my limited experience is that they are marketed with emphasis on their velocity for their performance. Consequently, you need to keep the MV where it should be and the two 14" barrel versions that I've chrono'd were well down. Consequently, to err on the side of caution, I would suggest a 16" barrel length as a minimum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffo223 Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Sako quad +1 on the sako quad, I love mine it's fantastic and super accurate & with my custom moderator its not that noisy apart from the usual 17hmr crack. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bullet boy Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 CZ 455 Thumbhole Varmint-lovely rifle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 There is nothing between them really in the areas that count, they are all pretty accurate and reliable, so CZ often wins on price and choice. Spend double if you want, but don't expect it to shoot any better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 As above if you want an accurate rifle that kills well CZ if you want something more elaborate spend more but double the price doesn't double the accuracy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wymberley Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Anschutz !!!!! For those fortunate enough to be able to pay double, that is one defining reason why they just might like to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshwarrior Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 cz 455 thumbhole 16"barrel,laser accurate, stocks could be made of gold,wont make the rifle any more accurate I don't know gold does flex very much so could make a very good stock chassis but aluminium is cheaper!
