samboy Posted April 24, 2022 Report Share Posted April 24, 2022 Hi gang. I'm thinking of getting a CZ 457 .22 Synthetic or an Anschutz .22 not sure which model yet. The CZ is about £500 the annie is about £800 plus. My thinking is get the CZ and spend the £300 plus on a 6x42 scope. Any views on this. I've been shooting a CZ American for 16 years and think its time for a change. It will be used for rabbiting. Thanks all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telf Posted April 24, 2022 Report Share Posted April 24, 2022 Had 455 found it heavy if your walking around shooting , had annies on and off for years , thats what i have now and wouldnt change it for the world ,love it , lighter than cz , build quality is second to none and the best trigger out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted April 24, 2022 Report Share Posted April 24, 2022 Don't be silly, unless you are taking into account price, the Annie wins by a mile. I have both and the barrels on an Annie are sublime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd90 Posted April 24, 2022 Report Share Posted April 24, 2022 Unless your short on the money the Annie is in a different league. For 22lr they will both shoot good enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s working stick with what you have and spend the whole £800 on something else, like shooting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have both and as above, the anschutz is a higher quality piece. The cz will just keep working and doing what it was made for, nothing more, nothing less. As tools, they both do the job👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaman Posted April 26, 2022 Report Share Posted April 26, 2022 I have CZ 457 and my shooting partner has Anschutz. His Anschutz had to go back , not accurate, very noisy . Came back far better but he still says my CZ is more accurate , smother bolt action , easy to handle , goes to the shoulder with ease. Another mate has just got one and once again bolt is not that smooth . Is it worth £300 more , not a chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted April 26, 2022 Report Share Posted April 26, 2022 I bought my CZ new around 25 years ago. In all that time it has been flawless despite never having been cleaned; all I’ve done to it is chopped the barrel to make it more vehicle friendly. 🙂 It has fired who knows how many rounds and accounted for rabbits, rooks and all manner of vermin, never missing a beat. It is a dedicated work tool and whilst never having been abused it has certainly been used as I’m not precious about it at all. It is more accurate than me and nothing I’ve shot has ever complained. 🙂 I have no experience of Anshutz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Heron Posted April 27, 2022 Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 Anshutz every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaman Posted April 27, 2022 Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 CZ 457 every time 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipdog Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 If moneys no option Anschutz every time. But you wont notice a different in accuracy between the two. I shoot a CZ because the extra £300 was buying me nothing but style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 If you’re precious about your guns ( the .22 is just a tool to me ) then personally I’d get the CZ. A mate has a Sako Finnfire, I think I’ve seen it maybe twice in fifteen years because he’s terrified of getting it marked. It sits in his cabinet just like his Landrover sits on his drive, terrified to use either. 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Best Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 The CZ is the most solid, accurate, dependable and reliable .22 rimfire bolt action repeater in the World. Make your own choices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with cz’s of course, I have two of them myself, but I get the feeling that he’s answered his own question and as such he should get the anschutz?

Mr dippy Posted May 30, 2022 Report Share Posted May 30, 2022 Ive got both and the CZ performs and shoots faultlessly, the Anschutz is by far the better rifle by way of build quality and accuracy, I've got the short barrel thumb hole stock version and its deadly accurate with the mod on the balance is spot on, if you intend to keep it forever, go for the anschutz, proper well made piece of kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db135 Posted May 30, 2022 Report Share Posted May 30, 2022 I bought a second hand CZ 452 with the plastic stock about two years ago it’s been great. It’s done all I’ve asked of it and not worried if it gets marked out in the field with it. Cost less than £200 rifle, scope, silencer and bag with 500 rounds cci subs. Wouldn’t think you’d need anything better really for killing vermin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted May 31, 2022 Report Share Posted May 31, 2022 I have both the CZ is my go to rabbit rifle over an Annie which I fine to light in the hands for stable freehand shooting. I also have a BRNO mod 4 target rifle and an Annie match 54 both very accurate both do what they need but the Annie trigger is just better.

Gerry78 Posted June 5, 2022 Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 SamBoy I’ve a CZ 22lr and CZ 222 I’ve thought about buying more expensive rifles in the past but decided that there fantastic guns for what there build for Rabbits@Foxes can’t tell what price they are 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enfieldspares Posted June 5, 2022 Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 Secondhand BRNO Model 2. Job done. What ever you do avoid a secondhand BSA Supersport 5 even if it's free as you'll spend money on spare magazines, weep when you lose them, curse when they fall apart.
