I have the 77/22, but long for a basic walnut / blue gun...


Based on limited experience with 3 each of various CZs and 77/22s, I'd say either will do 3/4" with good hollow point hunting ammo and around 1/2" or better with good SS ammo that they like. Both can benefit from easy-to-do trigger mods. For hunting, it's a wash IMHO, but if teensy groups from the bench is your main requirement, CZs will likely edge the Rugers a mite, and for less money.

I still like the Rugers better, for the handier safety, flush magazines, and availability of stainless. My RSI is as pretty as a kitten, and the full-length stock balances it out perfectly.


What fresh Hell is this?
