what ammo does it like?

That's pretty cool stuf there flave..

I have a local Smith that threads my barrels for $90 AND he makes a custom thread protector. Told him his price was low but... Wait time is a couple of weeks or less.

I adore my CZ 452 American.

CZ is good for the money/accuracy. If you want the best Anschutz.

All of it.



Travis

That's pretty good. I was figuring $100 for the work, $40 for the round trip.

Follow your heart.



Travis

Tell that to the gophers. Grin...

There are some factory-threaded CZs around. Even a handful of 512s, semi-auto, but they seem to be 1/2-20, so you'll need a thread adapter for most cans.

I went through a Savage FV-SR. Spent way more time and money than expected trying to make it not an embarrassment in fit/finish and smoothness. OK results in the end, but it turned me into a CZ man for rimfires. Worth paying more in the beginning.

The 455 Synthetic American/Suppressor Ready versions are 1/2 X 28 now.

CZs are, to employ modspeek, uberkool.

If the Germans had used CZ Americans or Varmints during WWII, you folk in the US would all be speaking German instead of ebonicals.

Now that everyone has accepted the superiority of Euro-gewehr, let's watch this.

Apology to all who've read this thread. Went to the local gun shop this afternoon and it is pretty obvious where all of the current offering lie. They have a bunch of Savages, not a bad rifle for the price, and RAR with are also OK, just don't ever see myself warming to a T-bolt but they are nice rifles. The CZ is the one running out in front of all the rest.

The didn't have a Tacticool in stock but the Lux, Sporter, and Mannlicher were all nicer than the competition. CZ is offering a "Combo" in their sport verison - a 22lr AND 17HMR barrel which one can own for a little over $500. I've asked my local guy to give me a price on the combo and a Tacticool(dumbass name)with two barrels.

Probably a good choice. I wanted the Tacticool initially but ended up getting the sporter type.




Travis

You know they sell a factory version in a Manners stock as well?

Not sure how much you wanted to spend.

I own a room full of rimfire 22s. The CZs are hands down the m most accurate.The BRNO #1 is my favorite but it is not threades. I also have a 456 which is a cutdown Model 4 target rifle. The BRNO #1 will group 10 rounds in 1" at 100 yds when I do my part.I have an old Remington 34 that was threaded when I got it. It is pretty accurate as well as a 241. A friend has a threaded #1 and he routinely kills rock pigeons with it. They sit still for 3 seconds.A Savage 87 might be a good choice. They are accurate and great off hand shooters-and cheap.

A Remington 541 is a good rifle, but they made a lot of them and I wouldn't feel I was desecrating a classic by threading the barrel. Think of it as "upgrading" it and go for it.

I wouldn't cut on my grandfather's target rifle or an antique rifle, but anything else I have is fair game. I'd probably suppress my 39a if it weren't for the need to remove the suppressor to load the rifle.

Never mind, I was presuming you already had the Remington.

No apologies needed, it was fun. I guess I wouldn't/couldn't thread a CZ FS rifle either.

Does the combo come threaded?

CZ's Tacticool model comes with a threaded 16 1/2 barrel. I only see the Sporter offered as a combo and it is not threaded. I asked for a price on a Tacticool with both an extra barrel.

Manners stock for a CZ 455 is $521 = pass. I'll put the money into a scope.

Having looked at the threaded CZ 455s, I am coming around to the idea that it makes much more sense to go with with one of those –– despite the all-in cost including can and license –– rather than horse around trying to modify my Browning T-bolt, (I'd have to lose the pretty fine peep sight to thread the T-bolt.)

It cost me a pretty penny (don't ask!) to get my four little JRTs to the US, not to mention how the kids would feel if we lost any.

Another option might be something like a Benjamin (Marauder?) .22 or .25 PCP air rifle, but it might not be very fast to put into action.

My yard is very hilly and while neighbors are not that far away, I'd almost certainly be shooting into the ground or a backstop. It is very rocky, though, so that might be a concern. BTW, we have cougars around here too.
