Do I really need a bolt 22LR?

[Aries]

Ok. I’m convinced. Suggestions? Is the CZ going to be the best sub $600ish bang for my buck?

Probably. I don't have any CZ rifles but they have a reputation for quality and accuracy, and I can verify that for the CZ 75 model pistols.

IMO whether you need one depends on what you want in accuracy. If you have other .22 rifles that are tack drivers, that might be enough. To me, the biggest advantage of bolt actions is potential accuracy. But I doubt you have anything MORE accurate than a CZ 45x model.

I don't think you can have too many guns though, can you?

Yes you need a CZ 452, 455 or 457...like my 455.

The only bolt .22LR I have is an old Stevens single-shot I gave $5 for in high school...

If you've never shot a pump, I highly recommend trying one. I have a Remington "Fieldmaster" pump that is a tack driver, and I wouldnt trade it for a brand new .22 of any kind.

Btw, this is NOT intended to denigrate bolt-actions in any way.

Let @mightymouse weigh in! He can fill in some 22 info but he may steer your towards something like an Anschutz just do not let him talk you into a 3oz trigger !!

I shot that rifle. First shot scared the bejebus out of me. After that it was great though.

All I own is bolt action 22lr rifles. The semi auto go thru ammo too fast.

Yeah, you can breathe on that trigger and it goes off. I wasn’t expecting that either.

no such thing as too many guns! Honestly my 10/22 VLEH is extremely accurate, at least for what I consider to be accurate for a 22LR. But I would love to push it further and see what a bolt gun can accomplish.

It's a 455 with Boyds tactical stock (Tacticool) custom painted in DuraCoat Czech Republic military camo pattern. The scope is a Weaver Classic V-16. Suppressor is a Silencerco Spectre II.

There’s a thread lurking around here somewhere that I posted on my daughters Ruger PrecisionRimfire. I’m not gonna say it’s better than a CZ cuz I dunno but I can say it shoots very well and I think it cost about $400.

Oh and yes you need a bolt action in your arsenal. It’s pretty much required by law. Hell I thought it was a question on the 4473 that would qualify you to buy a new gun.
