I ordered the CZ from PSA

Yay! Range report is next.

I’ve got a 3-9 firedot sitting on the bench but I think a 2-7 outta be more fitting. I think I got a vortex 2-7 NIB somewhere. Probably heavier than I’d like but it’ll work until I can find a Leuopold 2-7 duplex.

If I can ever get time off I’ve got 4 new guns and a P365 I just upgraded that I’d like to try out.

Work sucks

Back when I bought my Ruger All-Weather 77-22, they were still in production, the CZ models were not yet readily available.
Polymer boat paddle stock, all stainless steel, no sights.

Yes, the 2-7 Leupold rimfire variable is what I recommend. That's what is on my 77-22.
The factory parallax setting for the rimfire scopes is more suited for .22LR ammo than a centerfire scope.
50 yards vs 100 yards if I recall correctly.

I don't shoot mine regularly now, but once moved into the cabin, it likely will live behind the front door.
For lead injection needs in a considerably more rural venue.

Ruger’s website is showing the 77/22 currently only available in .22 Hornet. Don’t know what’s going on at Ruger now with so many models being discontinued.

I got really lucky a few years back and Cabela’s had one on the used rack for $189. Obviously someone made a mistake in the pricing. I grabbed it as quick as I could and it also came with the original box. Turns out it was a first year production of the 77/22 and has iron sights. I’ve mounted a Sightron 2-7x rimfire scope in Warne quick detach rings on it. My first range trip I experiences several misfires with it, disassemble the bolt and cleaned all the original crusty assembly grease out of it and it has been 100% reliable ever since.

You might want to check out Springfield Armory’s Waypoint 2020 Rimfire. Bolt action available in various grades of walnut and uses 10/22 compatible magazines.

The Volquartsen Summit is an impressive straight pull rifle in .22 Long Rifle, .22 WMR, .17 Mach2 or .17 HMR. Outside the price range, but lots of custom options.

Does anyone have a Bergara or Tikka rimfire?

I used to have a 77/22 in .22 Hornet, and another in .22WMR.

Wish I hadn't had to part with those....

I have a Tikka T1x Ace Target in 22LR that I’m very happy with. There are many T1x models, but the Ace Target uses a chassis and with everything I’ve done to mine it probably weighs three (or more!) times as much as the CZ the OP ordered.

I believe we have some Bergara owners here as well.

Can't believe Plinkster did it under 20 rounds (or can I) with a 457. The right ammo helps. I guess the challenge is on for 325 yards now.

This is the first time I've seen one of his videos. He's a decent shooter -- has solid fundamentals.

The vast majority of 22lr rifle owners shoot targets at 25-50 yards. A few will go out to 100 yards, when they're up for longer shots. Beyond 100 yards is rarely even considered. 22plinkster correctly notes that things are much different at 300 yards.

With a decent rifle & ammo, a good shooter, and almost no wind it's pretty just a matter of time & luck to split the card. Based on his 2-ish MOA wind hold, he shot in crosswinds of no more than 1.5 MPH. I shoot in such calm conditions about once a year, if that. Especially multiple strings with similar conditions. I generally get no-wind conditions for only a shot or two, just after a storm passes by, and just before the next one arrives, and then I see often see a directional switch of 5-10-15 MPH. Sometimes more. In my world with a 22, I'm almost certainly holding off-plate of a silhouette target to compensate for wind pushing the POI to the dot near the center of the plate.

Again, he's a decent shooter. There were a few impacts with a lot of vertical dispersion. This could have been due to adjusting his elevation dope, ammo MV variation, or inconsistency with rear bag use. But his horizontal dispersion is decent -- which is greatly helped by minimal and consistent crosswinds.

Understand that he's aiming at a 1" wide paster to hit a card that's maybe .01" wide. It's a luck shot. He only hit the dot twice -- one glancing shot and one direct hit. If his test were truly repeatable, he would have peppered the paster many times. Next time out he might split the card within 5 shots. Or 50 shots. Or maybe not even with 100 shots. It makes for good U-Boob video, but it doesn't represent what generally occurs in the field for those who shoot 22lr at such distances.
