bicykillgaz 1 Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 not sure about thumbhole stock, but my cz-452 varmint is a good allround bit of kit very very accurate reasonable price i've got a sako mod on mine got it for £30 its very quiet, you cant go wrong with them mate very good guns Quote Link to post
JonathanKent 16 Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 I second bicykillgaz's comments, I got my .22 licence about 5 months ago and I bought myself a CZ-453 (which is the same as a 452 but you can push the trigger blade forward and it gives you a light pull set trigger)I bought the heavy bareld varmint version with a 22 inch barrel and it is really really accurate (when I get it right anyway!!) I cannot recomend it highly enough, however I wouldn't bother with the 453 I would go for the 452 as I NEVER use the set trigger set up. I looked very closly at the new Browning T Bolt first and I couldnt see the difference was worth 200 odd quid, although I did very much like the straight pull action. I also looked at the anshutz but again I couldnt see the difference was worth paying for. Plus I dont think they are any more accurate. The other thing I would mention about the CZ is that the 10 shot magazines are only about £27. The Anshutz are about £50ish and the brownings are about £55 which if you are like me and want a couple of mags for ease soon mounts up! Hope that helps Jonno Quote Link to post
mjr88 50 Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 (edited) I bought my first .22 rimmy about 3 years ago and i also opted for the Cz Varmint. The rifle has performed faultlessly , and given the price of the cz range of guns i dont think that you can possibly go wrong. Mine is fitted with a Walther 4-12-50 ir scope , a scoplevel , and a parker hale silencer, John Edited December 8, 2009 by mjr88 Quote Link to post

Deker 3,478 Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 thanks for that lads how much is a cz 452 with a good mod? Anschutz and Sako may lead the pack but VERY few people will notice any difference in performance to the CZ. I have 3 CZ Rimfires, they do everything I want! I have the light barrel on ALL mine, no need for the heavy barrel at all for field work, you will not find any difference in accuracy, just weight, simply a matter of preference! Quote Link to post
hily 380 Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Sako finnfire with ASE ULTRA mod verrrry good. Quote Link to post
chippy28 1 Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 thanks for that lads how much is a cz 452 with a good mod? Mine cost £335 from gilson sports Quote Link to post
JonathanKent 16 Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 My 453 varmint with a 22 inch barrel cost £335 I got a SAK mod for about £30, the scope mounts again were about £30 and I went for a Bushnell 3200 elite in 3-9 x 50 (which is crystal clear and I am WELL impressed with and is brilliant lamping in low light) which I got on sale from the gun shop which was reduced to £250 from £400 I also got two 10 round clips at £27 a throw each. I bought it all from Wilson and Wilson in kent, they are brilliant and really knowledgable, plus because I bought it all from them in one go they gave me a blinding deal, thats why all the prices I have quoted are 'about'! But if you are local I really would give Wilson and Wilson a shout. I cant recomend them highly enough. Best of luck Jonno Quote Link to post
IanB 0 Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Get a carbine, no need for a varmint barrel either for a .22 its just extra weight.. if you want the quality buy a sako, weihrauch or anchuntz, if you want to save a few quid and get something a little bit rougher get a cz and fit a trigger kit.... If I had to go and buy another I'd be grabbing a thumbhole carbine anschutz... Quote Link to post
