Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Predators and Varmints Ruger 77/22

I haven't had a Ruger 77 so I can't comment on them, but I sure like my CZ 527s. Got a few of them now, first one was the Varmint version in 17 hornet. Really love that rifle and cartridge and the set trigger is a joy to shoot. Super accurate combo. Also have a Savage Model 40 (single shot bolt action) in 22 Hornet that I bought a good few years ago before the CZ. That one is a tack-driver with Hornady 35gr vmax factory loads and I've shot countless rounds through it at small varmints. If you are thinking about the newer Savage model 25's I'd probably keep looking. I tried a couple of them and both were terrible - never fed out of the magazines quite right, groups wandered horribly as barrel heated, couldn't single feed rounds due to the design, etc. I'd rather go for a CZ or Ruger.

Oh, and the CZ 17hornet can take coyotes too! (Those are nice ones T_Inman)
