I looked at Anschutz 1416D's HB's and found them to be very big and heavy rifles. They would be fine for target work but too big for me to carry as a hunting rig. I have been considering CZ's for a few years but everytime I actually held one, I ended up passing. I also have a 77/22 Boatpaddle but this one has quickly became my favorite. Got a little over $600 in the package.

These are nice little rifles, they have a decent trigger on them and are generally accurate. They are a little to the light side and the lock-time is slow but overall a decent rifle, the biggest thing I have against them is that they feel more like a youngsters rifle.

With a little patience you should be able to find a used Cooper for your $1200 limit and they feel more like a full sized rifle but if I ran across one of these for the dollars that centershot is talking I would have to think seriously about it.

223 Rem, my favorite cartridge - you can't argue with truckloads of dead PD's and gophers.
