gixer1 Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 (edited) I was speaking to my local gunsmith and he was saying i could swap my cz 452 style (which is about 3-4months old) for one of the ruger 10/22, he has a few of the walnut model ones and i will keep the moderator, sling and scope off my cz and he said he will give me mounts for my scope to fit the ruger. To be honest there is nothing at all wrong with the cz but i just fancy a semi-auto and the rugers are the pick of the bunch with all the aftermarket bits. Your opinions are welcomed with pro's and cons... Thanks, Garry. (gixer1) Edited July 30, 2008 by gixer1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullet boy Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Gary,i swear by my 10/22-its the biz!I wouldnt swap it for a cz!does that answer your question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 I second that what bulletboy has said. I shoot with him and we both own 10/22's. I am in the process of upgrading mine by fitting a better hammer, springs etc. Parts are available from the U.S.A. at very good prices, and are easy to fit.

Dunkield Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 And one for the opposition, why would you want to swap a rifle for a toy? I can see why the dealer is keen though - he is no mug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It worked ok, but it couldn't shoot the kind of groups that my CZ can. Mind you, I wasn't using the subs then so that could be why is seemed less accurate. The CZ will shoot fifty yard, cloverleaf groups of a centimeter or a touch over on a good calm day with a rest, like off the top of the car. It isn't a glamorous kind of a gun, but I don't see it letting anybody down. Also, the ability to just pull out the bolt and clean with a rod from the breach end is good. Preserves the crown so they say - just repeating what I've been told there. The CZ doesn't make my heart beat faster like the Winchester 9417 I'm picking up later in the week, but it is a simple, workmanlike, reliable tool.

garyb Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 I'd keep the CZ You can spend a lot of money on rimfires, and I bet none will shoot better (much) than a CZ/BRNO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drut Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 I must admit I have a weakness for rugged simplicity that may not be to everyone's taste(CZ rifles & Baikal shotguns) but my guns are used purely as workhorses: if I go through hedges in the rain so do they. Some of the tricked up 10-22s look gorgeous & too good for the likes of me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABOLT Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 i had a ruger and cz at the same time and stuck with the the cz found it had better gouping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookie Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Stick with the CZ. Yes, the immediate follow shot of the 10.22 is tempting, but when all is said and done, the CZ puts rounds on target. It's also a tool for a job. I do not feel the need to mod mine (other than the trigger that I have just done). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcbruno Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 the cz is made as a hunting riffle and made to fit a grown man the ruger 1022 is a plinking toy i have owned 2 1022 and currently have 2 cz 452's keep the cz and buy a 10/22 if you want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEINVISIBLESCARECROW Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 My old 452 is for keeps. All the good 10/22's i've read about are so tricked nothing original is left. My CZ modded a little though so I can talk. Lighter stock, Timney trigger, 14" barrel, that's it, don't need any more. I allso prefer the shot & safe 'till the bolts worked aspect of my CZ. http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh316/D...EA/DSCN4954.jpg http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh316/D...EA/DSCN4953.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine has a twenty four inch barrel. Not exactly handy in scrub, but then I'm not hunting wild boar with it, so if I don't get the barrel on target quickly enough, I don't get stamped into the ground and eaten.

Evil Elvis Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Fired em both, the 10/22 is a great bunny gun...i have a cz style.... if I could have both i would....but the cz wins hands down on accuracy and looks!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPARKIE Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 ive got both and i prefur the cz as a hunting tool and if ya want a bit of fun out comes the 10/22 the cz groups better and is more accurate at range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gixer1 Posted August 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 (edited) UPDATE Ok...i remember using my fathers 10/22 years ago and it was nothing like this piece of **** ...... I got the rifle yesterday and it is a nice looking thing, so i took it home, cleaned it and took it out for a test, i have tried both remington subs and winchesters and i cannot get a whole mag to cycle on either!!!! I feel like i've swapped a £50 note for a 50p piece! I also bought a butler creek 25 shot mag and i now have a pile of 14 rounds that are bent out of shape with trying to just load the rounds into the mag never mind getting the thing to cycle!! I have been told stripping the standard 10 shot mag is a no-no due to the fact they are difficult to get back together. What can i do to get this rifle working people?

CharlieT Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Lay it down on some concrete and drive your car over it a couple of times !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 I feel like i've swapped a £50 note for a 50p piece! That's the quote of the day for me! Read post #5 I won't laugh as I don't want to add to your pain, BUT you asked the question, and there are about dozen "don't do it posts" and you still did it Apparently if you spend about a grand on them they don't jam, well not all the time anyway . . If you are interested in taking advice, mine would be take it back and get your CZ back, but if he has any sense he won't let you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieT Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Seriously though give the mag a good clean and the chamber and extractors. Best to strip it all down and give it a really good clean. Have a look at rimfirecentral.com its full of good info on how to strip components down and sort out problems. It would be worthwhile replacing the extractors and buying a new ruger mag. also try a couple of boxes of HV ammo instead of subsonic just to get it working. Don't despair, mine works a treat and they can all be made to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnGalway Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 My advice, although it's too late, is to have both rifles. I wouldn't swop a bolt action .22lr for a Ruger 10/22, if you're hunting that is. The Ruger will cost you money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tulkyuk Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Should of bought the browning buckmark i just put up for sale, cycles every time and shoots sub inch groups at 50yrds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
