Thread: .17HMR Varmint Rifle

It seems that there is no conclusive evidence that the Heavy barrel CZ is anymore accurate than the standard weight.
It wont heat up as much, but mu American hardly heats up much anyway.

I'd definitely go for a CZ over a Savage or Marlin. Some of the latter two have been known for poor build quality and a bit unreliable.
But all CZs are excellent feeling rifles, there may also be unreliable lemons out there, but on the whole the build quality seems a step above.
And considering they are pretty similarly priced.

The 455 is considered not quite as good as the 452, but there really isn't a huge amount in it.
I'd just go for whatever had the right price at the time.
The trigger on my 452 American isn't perfect, but it's a lot better than a lot of triggers I've used. It was pretty light from factory and only the tinniest amount of creep, but really nothing to be worried about. I think if my Tikka didn't have such a fantastic trigger, I would be 100% happy with the CZ one.
