The best

tommyboy26

In your opinion what is the best make and model .22lr for bunny bashing?

dwighet

Cz 452....american
Light
Easy on the pocket
accurate

ormondprop

hard to beat the cz for the price although the sako quads are lovely but nearly twice the price, i'm tempted to change my cz at the moment as the hogs back stock is too low so i have a riser taped to it and it looks horrible and the scope is mounted very high due to the iron sights, i'm tempted to swap it for a cz style that i know of thats selling at a nice price and then get a thumbhole stock from boyds for it, reckon it would make it a lovely looking rifle

Love the cz .22s had one great rifle. I suspect there will be alot of lads suggesting the cz

Everybody should have a 452 in their safe! Literally bullet-proof!

Anscutz in most models, if money isn't a problem.

cavan shooter

Cant beat a ruger 10/22 the basic model is less than €400 saying that I cant fault a cz american 452 as I started out on one and found it a dinger.

If you have had a .22 in the past and have plenty of firing done! Would you think about going for a HMR? For the flatter shooting and extra range? I traded up a few months ago and like the fact that I dont have to allow for bullet drop as much!

Couldn't agree more.

It wasn't me!

Dwighet had it nailed in the first response. CZ 452 American. Will do everything anything else will do at least as well and is a cracking looking little gun to boot. Very much a fan.

One more for the CZ.
I have the CZ 452 Silhouette, Lovely

Il almost bet my left one that he has a hmr already :P

I have to say that the bunnies in east Galway are cursing the day I was left my Browning Lever Action .22lr in a will ( dont ask and stop laughing).

It is light. It is accurate. It is very cheap to run. It looks like a donkey next to the CZ 452 American.

Correct. I do have a hmr. A marlin 917vs

I really like the sako quad in a heavy barrel

sfakiaman

CZ Varmint is a nice little rifle if you're only using scope sights as it doesn't have iron sights. Would go for an Anschutz if funds permitted or a Sako Quad with a .22 and .17 hmr barrel. (Hope Santa is listening).

cz all the way

this is my one

Without a shadow of a doubt CZ452!

Risking the wrath of the masses;
the CZ's don't appeal to me at all. Before I bought my .22lr and .17HMR I looked at what was available at the time and I just didn't like the feel of the CZ's at all. The stock bulge is at the wrong side for me and I couldn't get a heavy barrelled synthetic vesion. I'm not knocking anyone's choice as theres so many people delighted with theirs, just putting another side forward.
That said the 455 thumbhole is probably the best looking CZ. Still the wrong way around for me:rolleyes:

I have a Savage Mk II thumbhole lefthand that I think is a bit special. But if I was to replace it I'd like a Sako Quad, I have one in .17HMR that I'm really happy with.

You know the CZ American comes in left-hand, right? Same fit for a lefty as the right-handed one is for our unfortunate cousins. The barrel isn't heavy and it is a wood stock, but I doubt you'd ever know the difference, certainly on a .22.

philog

get yourself an anschutz 1417 carbine ...14 inch barrell with parker hale silencer..,,,you will never look back..

Have had Anchutz, Remington and a few Brno/CZ

Cannot go wrong with the CZ, well built, accurate, good value for money here. My 452, bought while in the US, cost me more than a Remington 700, says how appreciated they were over there.

Ya I knew there was a lefthand American but there weren't any on shelf at the time and any of the right-handed models I looked at didn't have me drooling. Plus I was told about the savage being in a shop not too far from me and when I saw it I had to have it.
