    I also sold my CZ457 but it was an excellent rifle, very good trigger, reliable and extremely accurate. And with a 457 if you do happen to get a barrel that wont shoot replacements are readily available and dead easy to fit. Id have another CZ 457 in a heartbeat.
    Im more then happy with the BMR i brought from you enough accuracy for me 1" at 50m take it spotlighting when deer are about accuracy is enough to headshot at 75m while nailing possums, rabbit and hares

    Its about price and functionality if its a first rifle can do it for 300$ or 2000$ if it were me get something second hand to take advantage of the market being so fucked at the moment , for 1200ish can get a decent rifle then get a vixen scope then a decent suppressor or buy the whole package. Got my BMR from @Tentman for 700$ plus 100 for dpt suppressor and 250$ scope from @ANTMAN bloody awesome setup for all my rimfire needs for 1050 all up

    Bloody good that its going well and a valuable lesson that each of us have different needs, different hunting/shooting scenarios and especially tastes. One mans and all that.

    Ive had at least 12-15 22s through my hands in the last 10 years or so, none of the really bad (although someone tried to foist a Mahally? on me and I drew the line at that!

    A well sorted 10-22 or JW15 etc etc is a great game getter and fun plinker!

    See if you can pick up a good second hand Brno Mod 2 or a CZ452. Hard to go wrong.
