Which rimfire rifle should I buy?

[satchamo]

I’m looking to pick up a 22lr to practice and shoot more as my old marlins seen better days.

I currently have a cz457 in 17 hmr and I love that little gun. On the centerfire side, like everyone else here I am a tikka snob. I run Xlr chassis’s on my centerfire rifle so I will likely put whichever one in a chassis similar to the Xlr to keep things consistent and probably rebarrel it at some point because I’m incapable of leaving things like that alone.

So that brings me to my choices - cz457 varmint (20 in barrel, not the Mtr) or the t1x?

I have a Ruger rpr that’s pretty good for the money

As big of a T3X fan as I am, I prefer the 457 for my rimfire.

Both have plenty of aftermarket support, so you could do either and be fine.

My Bergara B14R shoots pretty good for a $1000 or so factory gun. Shooters being equal it won't compete with the RimX's that end up costing 2 to 3 times that, but it's worth the money. My bro in law has one and a CZ; he prefers the CZ.

The t1x is a nice gun, no reason not to get one, I wish I still had mine. I got a tacsol which is nice and easily as accurate as my t1x was but being semi auto I dosent seem to deal with the sub sonics quite as well. Cz 457s are really nice too. If the t1x took a Ruger magazine and was stainless it would be about perfect, along that line of reasoning you might be able to find a stainless 77/22.

Thing about a rimfire is you spend lots of time loading magazines. Buy whichever has, in your opinion, the best mags.

Bergara BMR is another one to consider.

RimX has the best mags.....

I’ve had good luck with the CZ 457.

Of your choices, I'd go T1x...

That being said, most rimfires feel like toys to me due to the small actions, etc. I bought a bergara B14R a year ago since it's a full size short action. I installed the same triggertech that most of my other rifles use, as well as the same Manners stock. It's very cheap practice.

The T1x is a great rifle though. My brother has one in 22lr and it's impressive for the price.

I made the jump from RPRR to CZ455 to Vudoo really quick. I still own the CZ455 and we love that rifle, but I shoot the Vudoo 99% of the time as I'm a lefty and that's what I had made.
