    As others have said, accuracy is pretty good out to 50m. Beyond that grouping would struggle to head shoot rabbits, so I only have it doped out to 55m and have set that as my practical limit.
    The are super quiet. Suppressed, they are noticeably quieter than a suppressed PCP air rifle.
    In terms of ricochets, I would treat it as if it was any other 22LR round as you never know when one will hold together and go further than expected.

    Sounds like a nice little setup and preferable to PCP in my opinion.

    Yea, that was my goal. Way cheaper outlay (already had the CZ sitting idle) than PCP, but not quite as accurate as my brothers .22PCP, and given the bullet weight difference, I suspect the PCP would have less ricochets.
