I've long been considering a rifle.
I don't even know if I should bother. I don't hunt, I can't carry it slung without a hunting licence and I am not troubled with having more cash than I need...
Nonetheless, window-shopping is still free and so I look. It seems that the lower end CZ .22 rifles would make the most sense because of all the reasons I gave above.
The cheapest around here is the CZ Farmer (CZ 513). It would cost €265, new. The next cheapest leaps to about €350. The CZ 452: also .22, also bolt. But the barrel is 63cm, instead of the Farmer's 53cm, and the trigger is adjustable, whereas the Farmer's is not.
Are these two features really worth jumping from €265 to €350? Will their impact be felt by a rifle novice?
