Apparently the Brno 511/581 semis had major jamming issues, build quality was excellent but this design flaw let them down.
All other CZs are the business! ;)
Unsure, never owned or fired one!
Here is a review on them.
CZ512 .22LR semi-auto rifle review | Shooting times
The semi automatic rimfire space is really quite lacking in good options. TC R55 is nice of you can get one, good luck getting mags or parts though. (I have one)(They're discontinued).
I have had several semi auto .22 over the years, the best was a Anschutz 525, also enjoyed the Volquartsen, the two Ruger 10/22 and Brno 511 I was glad to see gone, jamming issues and/or poor accuracy.
Also had two .22mag pumps a browning and Henry, the Browning BPS pump was by far my favourite hunting rimfire, Its F..ked now and I cant get parts, chipped barrel and re broke the firing pin. the Henry is a replacement and the only .22mag pump I could find. its a bit heavy, but octagonal barrel.
If I was to buy another .22 semi I would get and Anschutz, VQ or CZ in that order.
Nothing wrong with others, rugers got lots parts choices.
I had a gopher shoot a month back and there was a VQ .17hrm there, that's a fun rimfire.
Accuracy wise that was pretty poor, very close to your average Ruger 10/22.
Honestly, have a look for a Marlin 60DLX for a really nice semi. They tend to be in the same league as a good bolt action for accuracy and are incredibly reliable. If you prefer a removable mag have a look in the Marlin 795 line up. But I think the 60DLX would be the way to go.
Nice rifle the DLX but almost impossible to get in NZ are they not?
Anyone shot the 60 in stainless with the laminate stock?
I think I will buy one when I move to the states
Using a Voere semi auto at the moment, very accurate,10 shot mag and a real breeze to strip down and clean when needed.Attachment 14541
Iv sent him links to marlin cz and volquartsen... Lookin like volquartsen but who knows what model and if can even get it.

Tube mags? No thanks on a semi-auto
I would be quite interested in one as well if they end up floating about. Nice bit of kit. I love my 795.
I've been considering a 795 instead of the 10/22, I like the bedding system, barrel setup, aftermarket stock choices, and the LRBHO better than 10/22.
At the mo he is pretty keen on this.

But minus the break/compensator/loudener and a thread for suppressor instead.
Reloaders are the NZ agents?
Need to sort out a left or ambi stock. (if its ambi I can make sure it doesnt seize up;):D)
perhaps the 5000 stock
no 5 on the rolling pics

What's the stock 795 trigger like? Any issue with running subs?
Ie putting your hand in front of the muzzle of a loaded rifle
Pretty horrible American anti lawsuit job but easily fixed. I just used a 3.5" floppy shutter spring. If you want then you can put a grub screw in the trigger nose or add a lump of kneedit and file it off. Should cost about a $1 to fix. You can polish a few of the surfaces if you want but I didn't bother. Mine is fine with subs.
One thing to remember with an accurate rifle is 1 shot 1 kill so the 15 shot tube can last a while. Not like the 10x 22 shots required by something with those numbers in it. One of our group finally gave up on his Ruger and hasn't looked back, ... he did try holding out.
You just need the right suppressor

a tube mag is workable but given the choice between tube or detachable when buying a new gun I wouldn't have to stop to consider the issue
I'm with you on that one gimp, I prefer the detachable mag as well. The 60 series tends to just edge out the 795 series on accuracy and the 60DLX has that touch of class to it with the gold and timber work. I went for the 795.
No opinions on the linked volquartsen then?
There spec on tolerances materials etc is impressive in that noone else advertises theirs.

I grew up with tubes on pump and lever .22 s . I use a drop mag in the HMR and dont find any real world advantage, generally I miss the tubes extra capacity.
