Man, bad enough thta scraping together the cash for Christmas gifts will be a challenge, one of these became available. Fella I know may sell it to me…he let me take it to the range to shoot and I was very pleased. I already have a CZ 550 in .308 so I know that CZ makes an excellent product. A buddy of mine has their youth model….a no-frills scaled down .22 meant for kids. For giggles we put a good piece of glass on it and, surprisingly, shot dime-sized groups all day. Hmmmm…if thats what the low-end kid gun does……..

So I took it to the range, tinkered with the sights and have decided that I must have this gun. I have several Ruger 10/22 guns and theyre good carbines for what they are, but I’ve wanted a quality, stylish .22 bolt gun for quite a while. I was originally thinking of something fairly high-end like an Anschutz but I think the CZ is going to be my choice. It’s purpose? Well, it would just be a nice rifle to have and with equal sights or equal glass I think it’ll be more accurate than the Ruger. It might make a nice Kwanzaa/Hanukah/Ramadan/Christmas/Solstice gift to myself.
