My suggestion is to look for a Charles Daly Zastava import. In my case, this is one rifle that will never be sold off. It is every bit as capable with selected ammo as my former $1500 Kimber / Leupold combo, but it cost only $200. It has a superb bolt action and it's easy to remove for cleaning. After testing numerous ammo brands, I have found a number of them with outstanding accuracy out to 100 meters. Maybe I'm lucky, so perhaps other results may vary. I liked my first Zastava so much I bought a second one. That one didn't seem to work as well as my first. And when the transition went to Remington, I tried that model in 22 Mag. That one didn't work for me at all. When it came to a solid, well built, dead nuts accurate 22 Mag- the CZ LUX was the one for me. I have to think the CZ brand is probably great in 22 LR as well- I just have never had one for shooting 22 standard or high velocities. I would not be surprised, if I ever did have a CZ 22LR, I would expect I could test a good number of ammo brands and find some that shoot equally as well as my present Zastava import.
