I have a 455 with the three barrels (.22lr, .22WMR, and .17HMR) but truth be told all I ever shoot is .22lr. It’s been a fantastic gun and I love the way it shoots. With SV ammo such as CCI or more high end stuff like Eley, Wolf, etc. you can get some very good groups. A word to the wise if you go this route experiment with different ammos as different CZs each tend to prefer a different ammo. If you can find the right combination it’s magic.

The thing I like most about the CZs is that they don’t feel like scaled down rifles, or lightweight copies of a centerfire rifle. When you pick one up is hefty and you can feel the quality. Without going up to the Anshutz it’s about as good as you’re going to get in the rimfire world. And as you note, they can be had for a reasonable sum of money, especially when you factor in the quality you’re getting for the price.

I like mine so much that I’m about to pick up a 455 Scout to serve as my girls’ first rifle when they’re both ready. Single shot adaptor, shorter LOP, big easy to see hooded iron sights (to teach the basics before moving on to a scope), and a short threaded barrel for using a suppressor.
