Ruger RPRR or CZ 455?

[dfuller81]

I currently have 2 very nice 10/22's for my kids. But, I plan on getting rid of 1 and replacing with one of the new Ruger RPRR or CZ 455 in .22lr

3 questions:

1- Which and why?
2- Where can I find either a brand new or lightly used one that has been upgraded (barrel, trigger, chassis, etc?
3- Is there a better option out there that will match the Remington 700 SA footprint? (Besides Vudoo)

If you want to copy an R700, then the CZ455 is your rifle. Manners makes a T4 stock for it, McMillan has the M40A22, KRG has a chassis for it, etc. The RPRR is a good trainer match for the RPR, but it can't replicate an R700 like the CZ can.

Thanks Basher. Do you know if the 455 has the same footprint as the 700 SA?

It does not. For that, you'll have to splurge on a Vudoo.
