I think I have been royally bitten by the .22 bug. I have two lever action and two bolt action .22s.
I really prefer the bolt guns. I am shooting a CZ 452 trainer that has been bedded and has had a trigger job. I am also shooting a Ruger 7722 that has been pillar bedded and free floated and that rifle has also had a trigger job.
Both guns shoot just fine but I am wanting more. I am looking something better than what I have and the question is should I build from the ground up or buy a good platform and modify.
Knowing that, which way would you go? I am not wanting to go with Anschutz although review laud them.
I am seriously considering a CZ 455 bull barrel and proceed from there. The bull barrel in walnut is something around $400. The same rifle in a Manners chassis is around $850 or so.
I am not saying those are the only ones I am considering but I am asking you to give me some advice on what you would do.
The CZ trainer is just something else with the iron sights and I would kind of like to take the scope and rail that I have on that gun and put it on something like the 455 that does not have any sights and see if I can make a good rifle even better.
The Ruger is a pretty good rifle but does not shoot with the CZ. Even after the work done on it, the CZ just shoots better.
Any advice?
