Thread: .22LR rifle suggestions to upgrade from my marlin

Another vote for the CZ457.
Mine is the 'At-One' model, with 24" bbl.
As Steelisreal mentions. These are a new design model. Shorter bolt lift, shorter action, great triggers.
I went through all this when buying a 'nice' rifle for indoor benchrest.
I couldn't afford an Anschutz...and the CZ457 ticked a lot of boxes (accurate, reliable, well made). Most models are threaded already. Lots of after-market kit for them too.
How good is a CZ457? I've shot several cards now, scoring over 100. Best so far is a 100.6 so the CZ457's are certainly accurate enough.
The Tikka T1x is one I looked at, but online forums mention that the synthetic stock is a tad 'bendy'.
The Howa 1100 is well made, and cheap enough. Well worth a wee look at too. Wouldn't suit my use, but may suit you.
For outright precision the Ruger is not well thought of (in the precision shooting forums). Once again, it may suit you anyway.
