Some of you may have saw my other thread where I'm looking for a bolt action .22 of high quality that can be passed down to my kids someday.

Went to town and if I go with a new gun I see three main offerings, please add if you know of one. If you have an opinion on one or all of these Ide like to hear it.

1) Bergara BMR. This comes in at $550, seems high quality. 20 inch barrel

2) CZ 457 American. $590. 24.8" barrel. I like the thought of the longer barrel and the traditional looks.

3) Tikka T1x. $650. 20" barrel, again seems high quality.

I'm assuming any of the three would be tack drivers, certainly good enough for 100 yard starling shots around the farm and squirrels.

#2 CZ
I use to have 3 or those .22 CZ rifles. Down to 2 now. Good rifles. I've got at the least 50,000+ through one. Me and a buddy use to go to the range and shoot steel targets off hand for hours. Go through one of those 500 round boxs in a day. Rifle shoots as good as when it was new. Can;t wear them out.
American will be a scope only rifle. No iron sight capability.

Although I don't have one (yet), the CZ's always get my heart pumping. A good friend has a Tikka and swears by it.

I wouldn't buy a plastic gun to become a "special" hand me down rifle. So CZ is the only choice if you're limiting us to those three choices.

What's wrong with a lever gun? Or even a super nice semi auto like a Browning? Is there some reason you have to hurry to buy it?

without telling you witch one , since I own none of the 3

if you want a 100 year 22lr that gets used a lot

you might want to see who will sell you a spare magazines , extractors ,firing pins , and springs.

call each manufacturer and ask about parts


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

CZ of the the ones you mentioned but I have an Anschutz in 22 and 17 that are awesome. The CZ 22 I have is a very close second.

I have a couple of brand new in the box, unfired Marlin 25N's. That is as classic as they get. These even come with a scope included in the box. I could spare one if it is of interest.


I have nothing clever to put here.

Exactly. I wouldn't want to inherit an ugly plastic gun as a family heirloom.

Do they at least have the checkered stock?

Anyone have a weatherby mark XXII bolt action? That's what I would really want but finding them seems difficult

If I were looking for a heirloom and willing to spend the coin it would be a Lithgow.

I've got a couple cz's. 2 22's, 17 hmr and 204 ruger. These are fantastic guns. Beautiful wood, smooth actions and imo very accurate.

I gotta ask, why does a heirloom have to be super fancy and expensive?
