I got my fun 10/22's, but I want to buy an accurate bolt action 22lr:
- Bolt action - never owned one myself, but shot a nice Rem Model 52 at the Boy Scout range (a little too long/heavy for what I want).
- Would love something that allows the barrel to be free-floated if possible.
- Would love something that didn't need much stock work, accuracing, etc..
- Stock adjustability would be great, but not a deal-breaker by itself.
- Will be shot almost always with a suppressor in place, so slight preference for a shorter barrel over a longer barrel. Assuming I can swap barrels on my own, I can thread for suppressor if not already done, so that is not a deal breaker if not factory-suppressor-ready.
- Adjustable trigger "highly" desirable.
- Lighter weight would be ideal to be able to shoot while small-game hunting.
- It can be a single shot or magazine fed, but would prefer magazine fed.
- It does not have to be new - highly accurate used in great shape over new any day. Been looking here a little as well.
- Must support the ability to mount a scope, but bonus if it can also sport nice aperture rear and hooded front open sights.
- Not in a hurry and flexible budget. Would like to spend under $700-800 at the moment.
Based on reviews and my budget range, and the fact that competition rifles are based on this base rifle (link 1 and link 2), right now I am biased towards the CZ 457 Varmint AT-ONE with the 16.5" barrel:
CZ 457 Link .....
or the more plain/simple version:
CZ 457 ProVarmint
Anything else I can/should consider?
