Re: What rifle would you recommend?
Sako Quad or one of the CZ452 variants would be my choice.
I just picked up a 452 Varmint and it's a nice little rifle.

Re: What rifle would you recommend?
I like the looks of the Sako Quad Heavy barrel. Any recommendation on which Sako Quad to get and anyone know a price range on them? I have seen quite abit about it but nowhere to buy.

Re: What rifle would you recommend?
I am considering a Sako Quad or heavy barrel but have yet to find a distributor who can get a heavy barrel. If you do let me know so I can order one.

I don't have the PH# handy,but Benchmark Barrels in Arlington,WA will build a custom rimfire bbl for around $300 to your specs.

Personal preference for the most part. Depends really on what you want to do with it.
Do you need open sights? What length barrel do you prefer? Would you like a heavier barrel or standard?
I went with the Varmint model. I was between a Trainer, Varmint, and American. Thought that a Varmint or American would be better for use with a scope. Got a much better deal on the Varmint than the American. Very happy with the rifle, even with cheap ammo.
Oddly enough, Wolf MT shoots worse than any other I've tried, including Thunderbolts. Just keep that in mind if you do happen to purchase one. After reading probably hundreds of posts about how CZs shoot so great with Wolf MT, I bought a few boxes and headed to range. 100 yard groups looked like I had shot them with my Glock. I ended up going home feeling pretty crappy, but the next day took out a bunch of different ammo and was really impressed how it shot <span style="font-style: italic">everything</span> else.

Re: What rifle would you recommend?
depends on your budget and what you want to do with it, around $300 and under savage mkii (unless your getting one with reallly nice wood, add $150-$250), $300 - $500 cz, ruger , 500 and up kimber, anshutz, 40x.
probably the best bang for the buck is a savage or cz, reasonably priced, accurate, and plenty options / upgrades available. the cz seems to have a bit more accuracy, better finish, and even a trigger that doubles as a target 2 stage (light) and a hunting weight (heavy)
for a decent low price "beaters" marlin.
lots of information here on all of them, with a little looking you should be able to narrow your choices down.

22?
Something nobody else wants, and learn to shoot!
Bout as simple as it gets.

+1 - Amazing rifle for the money. I got the Varmit - heavy barrel. Fit and finish is absolutely first class. Mine shoots everything I throw at it, but haven't tried Wolf MT yet. Easy to adjust the trigger yourself in about 10 minutes. Got a picatinny 20 MOA rail for it (Rimfire Technologies) and mounted a Nikon 4.5-14 side focus. Shoots way bettter than me.
I used to be a skeptic.

Re: What rifle would you recommend?
Cooper makes superb 22's. I have a 57 that puts five shots into 1/2" @ 100 yds with no wind.

Re: What rifle would you recommend?
If you're looking for something to "upgrade" later, then 10/22 is the obvious answer. If you're looking for something you don't have to upgrade then Cooper, Kimber, CZ etc.
Have you checked out rimfirecentral?

Re: What rifle would you recommend?
10/22 for a semi-auto with decent accuracy and upgradable.
Savage Mark II for bolt-action, adjustable trigger, heavy barel, etc etc...pretty accurate and a good training tool.

Re: What rifle would you recommend?
Show up at a Friday night.22 shoot with some black box ammo.
1060 is about right for their range.(50 yards, inside)
Remmy Rims are great.
You can pan the camera and have a burger while buddy shoots.
Some guys may have right ammo for all to try.

Correct.. I would likw to get a 10/22 but I want a bolt action. I will get a 10/22 later for sure though. I am starting to lean towards the CZ 452 Silhouette since I have heard so much good feedback about the 452s.

I have a 452 Silhouette. I got it threaded and shoot it suppressed.
It is one of the most fun things ever to shoot!!
(closest rifle is the CZ. Middle is my 308. Top one is a Savage I believe)

Re: What rifle would you recommend?
Look at the CZ 453 Varmint also. It shoots extremely well. I have one that shoots Wolff Match Extra in a ragged hole at 50 yds. At 100 yds the groups open up some. Going to try some Lapua Center X Tomorrow to see if I can get an improvement. The 453 has a set trigger that is real light. Just the regular trigger is nice also. The wood is beautiful. Fit and finish are well done. I am highly pleased with this weapon. It also shoots the cheaper ammo real good . Don't think you could go wrong with any CZ Model. Savage shoots pretty good also.

Re: What rifle would you recommend?
I have found a couple places to look at the CZ but where can I buy them? Does anyone know if there is anyone locally in Memphis, TN that carry them?

Another vote for Cooper. I have the 57M LVT. Their customer service is also excellent.

Re: What rifle would you recommend?
I had a dealer order mine. He ordered and it was about a 2 week turnaround time. Well worth the wait to me. I have a Burris 6x18x42 on it and like the results.

Re: What rifle would you recommend?
I have a CZ 452 varmint, with a 8oz.-2lb. rifle basix trigger($95./). the 453 is about $100./ more, because of the trigger.
so for the same money you get the same gun with a much better trigger.
I put a Burris 3x14x32 Timberline with front adjustment that goes down to 7yrds. I use it for hunting, but it shoots paper like a match gun (sub MOA)

Re: What rifle would you recommend?
Get an Anschutz 54 repeater. Put it in a McMillan stock and you have a rifle that will last the rest of your life. It will set a benchmark for quality and shootability for the rest of your rifles. I bought my first 54 in 1977 as a junior shooter and have not yet found a rimfire or centerfire rifle that is "better" on the range. My best string of shots is with a 54. In a "buddies betting match" I hit 5 rams at 100m in 4.9sec. It was pure luck but I'm 100% sure I could not have done that with any other rifle. (except maybe with a Fortner biathlon)
As they say in the optic forum about hi end scopes: cry once
