Thread: First .22 after ages, bolt or semi.(CZ 455 VS 10/22)

  1. #1

    First .22 after ages, bolt or semi.(CZ 455 VS 10/22)

    Since my Youth, i have not bought another .22. The itch has begun, this will be for plinking, some vermin etc.
    I stay in an area where the licensing procedure is long, i cannot just swap out barrels etc.
    Choice one: CZ 455 synthetic.
    Choice two: Ruger 10/22 tactical.

    Any input from people who have been through this before.

    Both of those are good choices. I have the CZ 455 Tacticool and a friend has the 10/22 Tactical. I did a little bit of trigger tuning to the CZ and he put a Volqartsen kit in his.

    At 25 yards, they group nearly the same with a slight edge to the CZ. Due to the clacking sound of the 10/22 bolt , I prefer a bolt action for precision shooting, but I also have a 10/22 Target model and it can be a lot of fun when plinking.

    I recently bought a Ruger 22LR Precision Rimfire to use for practice for hunting and long range rifles - most fun in years shooting that Ruger Precision.

    Check into this option: http://www.coolguyguns.com/KIDD-22LR...ffer_p_12.html

    Eliminates bolt slap against the pin, and is really quite when suppressed.

    I only own the 10-22, but go CZ if you want to shoot it as-is, Ruger if you can’t leave well enough alone.

    I have customized versions of both CZ 452 (predecessor to the 455) and Ruger 10/22. For high volume plinking the 10/22 is more fun. The CZ quickly becomes tedious to load and slow to operate. Conversely, I prefer the CZ for precision work and hunting. Let your use drive your selection.

    I realize that you were looking at semi autos, but have you considered the classic Marlin Model 39 lever action?

    Few guns are more fun to shoot and even the most "die hard" Tacticool types usually end up spending more time shooting my Marlin Mountie than any of the other .22s when choices are laid out before them. Usually they dismiss it at first, then after a magazine load (15 rounds or so) jacking that lever as quick as they can and walking a soda can across a field and grinning from ear to ear, they usually ask "How Much?". Of course mine are not for sale, as I have minions who will inherit these mini John Wayne machines.








    While I have a very nice 10-22, it never gets shot. It even has a beautiful AAA walnut stock, fluted Green Mountain custom barrel, all the custom trimmings. I always grab my Marlin Mountie. The Mountie is simply that much cooler.


    The only reason I would choose something else is if I was running a suppressor, and that is due to the nature of tubular magazines, otherwise Marlin Model 39 all the way!

    I won a ham once at a shoot using a scoped 10/22 heavy barrel offhand at 25 yards. The target was a bullseye with a one inch orange center dot. A friend won another ham in the iron sight category using an old Marlin 39. I think he and I were the only ones to hit the center dot. Alas, his rifle isn't for sale either.
