I've owned several of the Savage Mark I/II/93R series rifles. Nice rifles and they all shot great, but the magazines left a lot to be desired and the extraction can get spotty after a few years requiring a new spring clip.

Currently own two CZ's, a 452 Lux 22LR and a 452 American 17HMR. Both shoot exceptionally well and I'm very happy with them. My only complaint with CZ is that they seem to be slowly eliminating their LH offerings. What they do still offer is very limited production and hard to find, and the rimfires are outdated by about 5-6 years now compared to the updated 455's the righty's get.

Picked up a LH Browning T-Bolt Match/Varmint 22LR a couple years ago and it's my favorite 22 to shoot. It will consistently shoot five shot groups in the mid to high .2's at 50 yards when I do my part with Eley Club.

The factory trigger on the Browning and the CZ's are about the same at around 3-lbs. I do feel the Browning is a little crisper and has a cleaner break though.


As long as there's still lead in the air, there's still hope!
