If I were limited to $500 for a rimfire rifle, I would buy the Tikka. If you like a sh*tload of cheesy plastic on a gun ,OK. But the CZ 457 will shoot every bit as good in any caliber offered and for $20-40 less have a Walnut stock and virtually no plastic. The CZs also have barrel & caiber interchangeability that the Tikka lacks. Also , CZ is investing Millions of dollars in a new Arkansas plant.to employ hundreds more Americans. Berretta / Tikka just want our $$$$$. Thanks for sharing. No problem .Glad to help. Good intentions, I'm sure but your execution was off.

I've multiple Remmie 5XX's...the RAR crushes 'em mechanically. I doubt I've chopped more than a few dozen 22LR barrels. Pass the increase in rigidity and muzzle velocity increase. Hint...................

Looking to shoot .22 rimfire a bit more accurately - probably 50 yards on average with 100 yards being a bonus. I already have an old birch-stocked 10/22.
Thinking some options are:
- upgrade my 10/22 - CZ bolt action - Ruger American rimfire
Suggestions on where my money might be best spent? If it was mine, I'd do this with the $500: $225 for a CPC full tune up. $185 for a 24" GM stainless fluted sporter contour barrel. $ 60 for an American style modular stock. $ 25 for a high comb American style stock module.

For the money out of the box, I would put my money on a CZ. Proven to me more than once. Money on 10/22 improvements, a custom gun, maybe, maybe not. Go over $500 then.........

No conflict here. I simply said what I would buy if I had $500 to spend. I believe the CZ is a fine rifle too.

CZ would be my LAST "choice"...mainly because I shoot 'em all.
Hint............... On the other hand you would be everyone's last choice as a human. Gnome!

18" S/S American. You bost the BEST magazine in the Industry and obviously the perks of S/S. Inclination is easily arranged and the triggers smoke ALL things CZ,with about 30 seconds of "work". 500 Clams will yield a NIB rifle,Boyd's handle and a 25 MOA 1913 extended rail. Hint. Nothing else begins to touch it,for the jingle. And CZ is simply fhuqking HILARIOUS in "comparison". Pardon my shooting it all. Hint................
