I was checking out a brand new CZ455 in a shop last week to fill a slot for a complete HMR rather than keep swapping the spare .17 barrel every time I wanted to calibre change my .22LR Sako Quad.

I was shocked at how noisy the CZ safety catch was - despite trying several times to do it really slow and carefull. That might not be an issue at HMR ranges but I imagine most 60 yard bunnies would hear it in a remote quiet field at night. I feel I can honestly say the very quiet safety on a Sako has spoiled me and I've passed up several CX 'bargains' while waiting for a used Sako to come at a price I can afford.

 

In my opinion paying more for that aspect alone seems feasible - then there's the flush fitting five round mag... 

If you want a noisy safety try that well known much sort after make beginning with an A, because that is one noisy begger on a very expensive gun.

When l got my CZ HMR American 452 l blue printed the bolt, safety and trigger so as to make them all as smooooth as a smooooth thing, no noise when operating in the field was the objective and this was achieved,

Previously to doing the HMR l had done the same to my CZ LR American 452.

My friend with the expensive LR alternative beginning with an A cannot believe the quality of a blueprinted CZ.

You pays your money you get your choice, and it's not always well spent, if you get my jest.

Yes this is what I am looking at buying in May it will be used 99% for vermin control so what barrel length should I go for and what moderator should I choose genuine Sako I was thinking 

Take the O out and buy that one.

Agreed. a SAK moderator will do everything. And, it has a limited lifetime warranty as well.

I have an Annie and a cz and wouldn’t say the safety,s are noisy at all , which ever you get all will do the same job accuracy wise with the right ammo ,but the tikka is as yet unproven although I doubt the accuracy will be a problem although it may or may not have a few niggles in other departments

Having actually used the Tikka T1x last October when I went to the Factory, I don't think anyone will be disappointed with it. They showed us several other new guns on that visit and none were quite as big of a deal as the rimfire and I plan to buy one myself.

Do they plan to do a wooden stock?

16 inch CZ 452 with a SAK is how I would spend my cash.

Although a Browning fan, a T-Bolt would be the last Rim-fire I would buy, I really didn't like the one I used once, It wasn't nice to operate and needless to say I didn't hit much that night with it !
