    I have a CZ452 and very happy with it in terms of accuracy, so would look at another CZ if I was buying again. LOP is too short and I'm only average height, so have added limbsaver. The new 457 looks nice. I would also have a good look at the Tikka.

    I have a Ruger American, only thing not in its favour is the factory trigger. dump it and go after-market. I liked mine before, now I really like it after making the change. The difference is chalk and cheese. So much more accurate (the one behind pulling the trigger not so accurate).
    Good little rifle and worth the extra cost to make it great. Something you need to factor into the price if you are comparing them.

    For the price, the CZ would be the pick of the bunch, right?

    Was looking at a new pre lockdown. Was going to go with CZ synthetic with bull barrel. Wasn’t stainless but that was my pick. Felt better than the Ruger American.

    The Marlins are very accurate and often purchased for $500 or so on trademe. I bought a related Marlin 22 magnum heavy barrel stainless and that will drop under 0.3" for groups at 50m with Hornady. Marlin 17HMR a good option.

    Can you still get those, or is it just the XT-17? Also, have you any experience with those at all?
