Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires Shooting the Cooper and CZ .22

Cooper took the gold @50 & 100 yards.
gotta love these .22's, both are fantastic rimfires.

Do you like that Jackson Hunter stock on the Cooper? I considered a centerfire today in the Jackson Hunter configuration. Have held a classic stock but not the Jackson.

I love your Cooper, I almost bought one exactly like that a while back off gunbroker or gunsamerica I don't remeber which....What kind of groups you gettin out of her at 50yds?.............Hb

I'm pretty sure my 50 group was every bit as good as your cooper. Plus u never told me we were competing. So I didn't even try that hard. I want a rematch.

Yes I do, similar to my McMillan Classic except w/rollover cheekpiece.

Cloverleafs in same hole w /Eley sub sonic.

You should always give 100% effort when I'm around.

is that CZ the 455 Merican?

DAMMMNNNNN.....................you are one ugly muthaphucka Stoney!!

That's not what your wife told me at the Red Roof Inn.

Was she drinking her 40 of malt liquor again??

So is there any real data here, or does one simply prefer one over the other?

Does it matter ...??

They both shoot great. The Cooper really shines @100 yards.5 shot100.

What a great idea using an ironing board for a shooting bench! How much did you spend for the Cooper? for the CZ? It's not quite an apples to apples comparison. Both great guns in there respective price range.

Jeff, here is the bench link.

Coopers cost considerately more than the CZ's.

It's a 455 American I bought this spring as a 22/17 combo. Haven't shot the 17 yet. Put in a dip mag well and extended mag release and doing a yo Dave kit tomorrow. Pretty happy with performance so far. This is with eley subsonic hollow points at 50. 5 shot groups. The flyer was all my fault.

Norma at 50 yards. 5 shot group.

slg888,

Nice targets. What scope are you using?

Both guns have nikon 3x9x40 efr with AO scopes. Here is a good pic of the cooper and the shooting benches we use. had to post all pics in multiple posts cause my phone is acting up.

Thanks. I planned to get that scope and just took a chance on a impulse order of a Bushnell Legend with side focus. I dont know what I was thinking? Looked at one at the local shop, the focus seemed very fast. Maybe appropriate enough for a Ruger American.

Seeing your targets has renewed my interest in a CZ. I might try one? If i do, I will reconsider Nikon. Nice glass on nice old school wood stock gun.

Thank you for the post.
