RF, I have had advice from knowledgeable gun lovers saying 10/22 is the only .22 they would consider. I took a hard look at a Marlin, it looked like c--p to me, just from the basic construction and materials.

I have about $400 in my Deluxe Sporter with scope and accessories. With the VQ hammer, it has a crisp and fairly light trigger. I am very pleased with it, and it has a beautiful walnut stock.

The CZ rifles are well constructed. Tommy's .17 HMR is extremely accurate. They seem to have superior barrels to most inexpensive rifles. I did not find their .22 to be very attractive, but it's a matter of taste, and I consider looks more than some may...

CZ's come in several stock patterns, both Euro and American Classic.  They are, essentially, the last of the Mauser sporters.  Was half joking about the 10/22.  I picked up a really clean used one, cheap, then added a WalMart DSP stock and a Midway (GM) original contour match barrel.  Don't have that much in it but still about twice the cost of the original, stock gun.  The sky's the limit with those.  Have a stock CZ452 and it was good to go, out of the box.  About all I need do more is a Brookes trigger kit for the grand sum of about ten bucks.  But guns are like girls.  You choose the one who pleases you the mostest.  Did pick up a like new MKII heavy barrel and it looks pretty well made.  Haven't had a chance to try her but it should be a shooter judging from the many threads on RimFireCentral.  Anyway, my tastes in rimfires runs from pretty old to modern.  Bad thing about 'em is they are like eating potato chips.  Kind of hard to stop buying more once you've started.  Like airguns, no?
