I know, this is like my 3rd thread on .22s, but I have lowered my choices to these two rifles. Anyone have either of these? Any opinions one way or the other? I am wondering how they group, as well as how nice/bad the iron sights are, as they are the deciding factor.
 
Hello Austin,,,

I own a Henry AccuBolt,,,
I've had it for four years now,,,
Hands down, it's the most inherently accurate rifle I own.

I'm 60 years old so my eyes aren't what they used to be,,,
The rifle is much more accurate than I can utilize,,,
But other people make fine groups with it.

There is a lady at my rifle & pistol club,,,
We all think she is channeling Annie Oakley,,,
One calm day she put 5 sub-sonic rounds in a dime size group at 50 yards.

The Henry comes with a 4-power scope,,,
It's nothing to write home to Momma about,,,
But it does help my aging eyes put bullets into tin cans.

The iron sights aren't iron at all,,,
They are Williams Fire Sights fiber optics,,,
It took a while to get used to them but they are bright and fine.

Anyways, if it's a single-shot you want the Henry is a very fine rifle.

I hang out with a bunch of CZ rifle people,,,
One has a CZ-513 Basic for his son,,,
He wishes he had upgraded.

The 513 is definitely built with CZ quality,,,
But with almost everything nice about CZ's stripped from it.

The rear sight is not what you would get with the next grade up,,,
It's something you would expect on a cheaper brand rifle,,,
The 455 LUX won't cost much more money,,,
And it's a much nicer gun,,,
And has nicer wood.

Anyways, that's what I can tell you from my experience,,,
Either rifle is going to shoot very nicely,,,
Pick the one that makes you smile. :)

But on a somewhat serendipitous note,,,
I am planning on giving the Henry to my 14 year old nephew,,,
And replacing the Henry with the CZ-455 with the full mannlicher stock. :D

Why you might ask?,,,
'Cause I wanna. ;)

Anyone know if the cantilever scope mount for the acu-bolt has one inch rings? I have a leupold veri xII 2-7x33 that I want to put on it.
 
I'm a CZ fan personally. Upgrade from the 513 though. They are well made rifles at a decent price and once broken in they are quite accurate.
