AKPENDUDE: I am with you on the recent Ruger American rimfire Rifles!
I had and have NO interest in these clunkers.
UNTIL... last week, when this new Model Ruger American came out - it is a heavy barrel model (18" long with threaded muzzle) with laminated Varmint type stock and a renovated action area (I am told).
My friend bought one in 17 HMR and I am due to scope it up and sight it in for him soon.
This new offering is VERY appealing to me and comes in 22 Magnum, 17 HMR and 22 L.R.
I have a pair of Ruger 77/22's (one is a Varmint model and the other is the sporter weight barreled model) they are amazing Rifles and are very accurate.
The rotary magazine of the Ruger rimfire models are unsurpassable and the factory furnished magazines fit flush with the Rifles stock and the safety on the Ruger 77's function CORRECTLY - two things about the CZ's that are unforgivable to me.
Best of luck in your search.
Personally I advise you to keep looking for a Ruger 77/22 in a model that pleases you.

"Correctly" according to who?
Course I'm not really surprised that you're boggled by a safety.
