Good point, and question.I have been studying 22 rifle reviews for about 2 weeks now.I have looked at the savage mk2 , the tikka, and all sorts of different cz 457's.I always seem to come across reviews that talk about accuracy or stock issues with these rifles.I dont want to spend $500 + on a rifle that may or may not require work to make it shoot.
I currently have a TC benchmark that is freakishly accurate, but very temperamental in reliability. I also am very pissed at tc for no longer making magazines for this rifle.I will not pay $100.for another 10 rnd mag.
As far as what I plan to do with it, maybe some 22 matches, and definitely group and steel shooting on my range.
I have a 700 yard range in my backyard, until the neighbor plants his corn, then I am limited to 70 yds.My 6.5 creedmore is kinda overkill at 70 yds.
