Had a CZ 455. Beautiful rifle, superb wood and workmanship all around. Then I bought a Ruger American when they came out. 20" barrel version. Better trigger than the CZ, more accurate and accurate with a wider variety of ammo, than the CZ. Already had Ruger 1022s and multiple magazines, same mags work in both rifles.
Sold the CZ for more than I paid for it. Learned to like synthetic stocks and matte metal finishes. The Ruger is D/T'd for scope bases, or use the standard dovetail system. I prefer bases, so mine has Burris Z rings.
Had a Marlin 39A. Also very accurate and fun to shoot, but the Ruger American is a lot lighter to tote. Once had over a dozen 22 rim fire rifles. Now down to a mere five or six.
If three or more people think you're a dimwit, chances are at least one of them is right.
