Thoughts on a Bolt 22lr

[JV842]

Looking to get a 22lr bolt action. I have an old nylon 66 n some pistols, but no bolt action. Want to spend around $500 on the rifle; so not a high end one. Want to be able to get a suppressor for it; lots of coons getting into our feeders. What are y’all’s thoughts on the CZ-457 varmint 16.5” barrel? Have looked at Buds Guns n Gun Broker

I have the CZ 455 Training Rifle. It's a tack driver. I wouldn't hesitate on any of their 22s.

I have a CZ lux 457 and really like it. In fact, I used it today hunting squirels with my son. Very solid and well built. Very accurate. The 457 has a different safety and bolt throw than the 455. I really do not think you can go wrong with one.

Love my cz .22lr. Great rifle for the money, mine is also a tack driver.

I love .22s and have several of them. My thoughts on a bolt action rifle are get a decent .17 HMR.

The Tikka T1X is a great rifle, and the Ruger American rimfire rifles are really excellent too. The Ruger is really nice since it uses 10/22 magazines.

Buy the CZ you'll never regret it.

Another vote here for the Tikka T1x. I have that for 17hmr and it’s awesome. Plus it has a threaded barrel if you ever decide to really have some fun and get a suppressor.

Love the T1x. My boy loves shooting it.

Winchester model 72A. I regret selling mine. Tube fed tack driver

My son and I both have CZ 457 Varmints in 22lr. I did have a 455 but like the 457 as much or more. They may be more than $500.00 now, but are worth it. You can swap barrel to 17Hmr or 22Mag. and that can be a plus.

Another happy CZ owner here. Mine is crazy accurate

Shoot subsonics and save the money for the suppressor for something else.

Just a different kind of thought.

I have the CZ 457 with a varmint barrel. Very nice gun. Its really accurate with a variety of ammo I've tried in it.

If you want walnut and blued steel CZ457,
stainless and authentic Tikka T1X. Both are excellent rifles.

Happy with my two CZ rifles. Accurate, well made, adult sized.
