Sold one, got a new one.
I have been using a cz455 for a little bit as my small game rifle, CZ makes some awesome stuff and this rifle was sweet but I hate the magazine on it, the 10rd mag sticks out like 3" and to me this is just unnaceptable, firstly it looks like shit, secondly I brokenone already from whacking it hard in accident and thirdly when I carry the rifle over my shoulders with a sling, the sharp corners of the mag shred my nice jackets or poke me when I'm wearing a shirt.
I sold it to a local guy for about what I paid for it sndnhes pumped because all he had before it is a marlin model 60 that's like 30 years old.
Anyways,
I ended up finding another ruger 77/22 brand new on gunbroker for only 525.00 so I got it, I can't believe I scored it for that price because ruger discontinued these so people are in gouge mode with these things, I've seen them going for 1500.00 and I know people who have paid 900+ dollars for them.
Anyways this one is synthetic stock, stainless action, blued barrel, should be solid, I'll throw the leupold 4x rimfire scope and the nylon sling I took off the CZ and use them for this rifle.
I've been getting really into small game hunting this year (they count grouse and as small game here) because it's delicious in my crock pot but also, I can just go out in the woods around the town and nobody gives a shit, I don't have to plan a major expedition like you donfor moose and caribou etc and best of all, you can do it on native land and they don't care.
Anyways, small game hunting gets me out in the woods playing with guns, and usually can get something pretty good for a meal, the 22lr is sort of becoming my new favorite caliber. I really only hunt big game once or twice a year, small game I can do as often as I like for as long or as short as I want....shit I could walk the road or the air strip and shoot a few birds wearing shorts and running shoes.
Oh yeah, the ruger 77/22s use the same magazines as 10/22s, that's sort of what I was getting at talking about the annoying mag of the cz455.
