As cheap as AR's are at this time I was gonna say go that way. Then I saw that you tried that. What didn't you like about the AR, Sam?

How much louder would the 16" be without a can versus the 22" without?


Out the window...

Sam, I handled one of those CZ's.. It was awesome.. Still kicking myself for not buying it.. If I were looking for a short barreled truck gun that is the one.. Other wise buy any 223 of your choice and have the barrel lopped off.

One of my old pals is pretty sick now.. He most drives around and has a few blinds he watches out of.. But he cut off a heavy barreled .22-250 to 20 inches.. Sounds like a mess, but it was super accurate and easy to get out the window.. He also had a varmint .223 done the same way.. They have killed a pile of game.. I have a couple rifles with fairly heavy barrels cut off to 21".. They are just great for the purpose you describe..

I would also go with the.223.. Ammo is CHEAP!

That's a gorgeous stick of wood! I'd foresee lots of guilt banging that around in the truck. Open sights are going to get caught on everything, especially the front. That said, I'd buy that one in a heartbeat.

Another vote for the 222

Charlie and WCH, I would be more worried about someone stealing the CZ than the Kimber!


This needs to be a...don't give a chit rifle....


AR's shoot brass all over the cab and windows.

Hey Sam.....it's a mag fed Tika but if you can live with a 222 Eurooptics is closing out the wood stocked T3 hunter in 222 for $499.
I shot mine for the first time today.....I'm impressed.
22" barrel, 7#'s, comes with rings.

Sorry for straying off topic but you know good and well that if you come around here looking for a good steak house you'll soon learn that what you really want is pork chops.

Howa mini for 329 from Whittakers.
no top load but may I ask why that's a prerequisite?

Don't worry about it Sam, that stock doesn't look anything like the one you'll receive.
CZ burned through their fancy wood pile a long time ago.

Sam,

Whittakers has the Howa Mini for $329.00. 10 rounds are handy.

And you can get 200 Fiocchi's loaded with the 50gr. V-Max for $100 per 200.

Dude270, for whatever reason I've just always preferred blind magazines. Or a few floorplates.

No mag to lose and fiddle with if you have to take out to top off again.

Have a couple Sako's and extra mags are expensive.

But the RAR mags are no doubt way cheaper and as far as reloading would be quicker.

I'm with you on the no removable magazine. I'm still hunting a 1/2 dozen 10/22 mags that I know I have.

It isn't terribly difficult keeping track of magazines if you aren't a dumbf*ck.

I still see no downside to topside loading.

What's really sad is that this used to be a family friendly website.


And now we have guys recommending Howa and Savage.


Somebody just PM'd me with Mossberg ATZ(?) in 257 Weatherby for $225.



Really gone hill.

The downside to toploading is unloading, if you intend to keep the rifle unloaded in the truck.

If there was a perfect application for a detachable magazine, it would be on a truck gun.

Why would one keep a rifle unloaded in the truck? Unless of course if you live in one of those dumbphuck states, like Blackheart and I'd assume Merryland.

Keeping a rifle loaded in the truck is perfectly acceptable here and I'm assuming in Montana, based on past experiences there.
