What .22 to buy?

If those jackasses at Ruger had any marketing sense at all, they would sell stripped 10/22 receivers.

You can find them on Gunbroker from time to time.

CZ 452's and 453's are both nice rifles. I do believe that they have the backwards safety as is customary with CZ, which I dislike, but you may not care. I grew up on a Remington 550-1, so I bought one at the Hutchinson gun show this year. The Remington 552 is a nicer rifle, but I didn't grow up one so I don't have one. They don't make them anymore, but they can still be found in good shape.

I decicded to buy a CZ 452. I found a good deal and went for it. I have already ordered scope rings, extra mags, and a trigger kit . I should have all of that stuff this week. I still like the Weatherby, but it is alot money for a .22lr. I have a .17hmr in a Savage. I like the Savage platform. I wanted to mix things up with the CZ. I have yet to shoot it. I am hoping that it shoots well.

In regards to all the talk about the Ruger 10/22. I have one of those. I have had it for 20 years and have put 1000's of rounds through it. The only thing that I have worn out on it is the mags. In terms of accuracy, it is not the best, and it is not the worst. I can pick off squirrels at 50 yards and that is good enough for me.
