oowee Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 I am looking to buy my first .22rf mostly for rabbits and other vermin out to 100m. I am looking at the bolt action cz. I am thinking to get a synthetic stock as from my air rifle and shotgun experience everything tends to get scratched. Shortest possible barrel (16inch). I have seen a synthetic thumb hole stock on the cz site which comes with a modified trigger and firing pin spring. I know everyone will have preferences on make but I would be interested to know opinions on the suggestion. Thumb hole stock. Barrel length. Reliability and accuracy are key together with a quality action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 Whichever model you buy, it will be accurate and very good quality. Thumbhole stock is a personal choice, and trigger kits are available to adjust it to suit your needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scully Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 (edited) Can't go wrong with a cz No, you can't. Here's mine. Chopped to 16" it has been used and abused and is a proper workhorse and looks a bit worn now compared to when this pic' was taken, but is all the .22 you'll ever need.

LeadWasp Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 (edited) oowee - I think I'm right in saying that you can get metal mags for the CZ from riflemags.co.uk (good firm/prompt service). in fact - yep - http://riflemags.co.uk/cz-10-round-steel-22lr-magazine-452-453-455-brno/ Edited September 12, 2015 by LeadWasp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAB1954 Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 You won't go wrong with a CZ, pick the stock style/barrel length that suits you. I have a 455 American so 20" barrel and wood stock great gun, use it for rabbits, pests and at my club range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
