Thank you for the response but my focus is on
the CZ or potentially the Ruger.

If you have a thick wallet and like accuracy, look at the Anschutz 1771.

I have, they are definitely a nice Rifle.
You are correct, a guy needs a fat wallet
for them.

Bigstrapper66: I have been shooting my heavy barrel Ruger 77/17 Hornet for several years now and I HIGHLY recommend that you seek one out!
Three main reason I recommend the Ruger 77 V/T for you:
#1: My Ruger is exceptionally accurate with both factory ammunition and my handloads (mine has a Weaver 4x16 power variable scope on it).
#2: The 6 shot rotary magazine of the Ruger simply HUMBLES any other magazine system I have seen in use to date!
#3: The original 24" barrel aids in steadiness of sighting afield!
I know you subservient citizens of taxington CAN NOT shoot Badgers anymore but if you get out to "Badger country" the 17 Hornet is "death" on Badgers (as well as Rock Chucks, Prairie Dogs, Fox and Coyote).
Keep looking - I know you will be happy with the 17 Hornet when you get one.

VarmintGuy FWIW, I had the exact opposite experience with a Ruger77/17 hornet, especially with point #1. Certainly agree on the rotary magazine.

Thanks Varmintguy for the advice, I’m not opposed to the Ruger 17 hornet just haven’t seen one up close or know anybody that has one. I’m sure they are a fine Rifle.
