Looking for recommendations for .22 bolt action with a scope

[markj1]

I had to get rid of my Zastava CZ 99 Precision after it failed and I couldn't get spare parts for it.

I am thinking of replacing it with something similar. It will be used for target shooting only.

Any recommendations? Ideally it will be a lightweight bolt action rifle using 10 round mags, and will support a scope and a pi-pod.

I have the slot on my FAC, just need to decide what I am buying.... thanks.

CZ 455, CZ 457, Anschutz 1710.

What do you want to spend?

I've always had CZ's for field shooting. If I was shooting targets it would be an Anschutz, they're really decent.

I have a CZ 452 that I've had for...well, it's got to be 20-years and it was cheap when I bought it and it's never let me down. Brilliant workhorse of a gun that has accounted for high hundreds of rabbits and foxes..don't be put off because of the lower end price of the CZ's. I also own an Anschutz 1710 Heavy Target barrel, which is such a beautiful bit of kit that I only take it out on dry days!

Add the Tikka T-1 to the list of considerations...

Another CZ is certainly an option. I was thinking of spending from £200-£300 for a reliable second hand gun and up to a thousand for something really nice (and new). The Anschutz is sadly out of this price range, and also I could do without the heavy barrel for this one (I already have a BSA Century which has a heavy barrel).

Hmmm... these Finnish rifles are certainly within my budget. I'll have a look at what's on offer, thanks.

I shoot at paper targets, for fun (not competitively), but prefer a lightweight gun that was made for hunting, so another CZ is certainly a possibility.

It's the same manufacturer that makes the Tika, right?

The bolt action on the new CZ's seem to be a lot less agricultural these days.

Just about any Anschutz sporter on a 54 action.

^ This, my old Anschutz 1422 is with an RFD. Certainly pre-loved, silky smooth action and a lovely trigger. Ticks all your boxes for not much money. PM me for info if you like.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I am gravitating towards CZ 457 16" Synthetic. Only 2.4Kg.

Another vote for this

Yes but this model was discontinued and replaced by the Quad. I have both (the quad in 17HMR) and prefer the P94S

They are well worth a consideration! I went from a CZ455 to a Tikka T1x and have not looked back. In all reality, they will shoot equally as well IMO

I know of a brand new 457 never been fired at the right money a trusted friend of mine is selling due to not ever using it
