Don't have a scout but many other CZ rimfires and all have been very good.

I looked at the CZ choices quite closely and decided on a Savage. The positives on the CZ Scout, is that it has a good name, and most owners speak highly of the gun.


CZ 452 Scout Bolt Action Rimfire 22 LR - Wal-Mart

The negatives are that if you plan to put a scope on it, the barrel has sights on it which will have to be removed (if possible). I prefer a clean barrel. I don't believe the CZ trigger is as good as the Savage AccuTrigger, but I believe it can be upgraded by a gunsmith to be compareable. The AccuTrigger is adjustable without needing a gunsmith. A solid wood stock is not always stable over time, and can warp with changing moisture content. Not sure of your age, but are you aware the Scout is a youth model?

I would spend the extra $50 to step up to the Savage Mark II-BV. It has the AccuTrigger, laminated stock, and heavy barrel.


Savage Mark II BV .22 LR Bolt Action Rifle w/ Heavy Barrel & Accutrigger - Wal-Mart

Savage Arms AccuTrigger

If the price is an issue, Savage has essentially the identical gun with a synthetic stock at a lower price. Synthetic stocks don't look the best but they are more stable than a solid wood. They also have a youth model, and models with sights if you don't plan on a scope. However, I would highly recommend a scope. Bushnell and Simmons make rimfire scopes in the 3-9X range that are very affordable, and will do wonders for your accuracy over open sights.

Hope that helps,

Ron

I've never shot one but have heard nothing but good about them. I have a CZ452 American & can for sure tell you it'll shoot consistently with the best of 22's and it's only aprox $100 more and only about $50 more than the Savage, but now the Savage is a shooter too, but not near the value of the CZ. If'n you can manage a CZ you won't regret it. Mine has dropped every single squirrel that I got a decent shot at! I might miss but it don't!!

i have never seen a bad shooting cz 22.
mine has a trigger you can adjust at home with no special tools.
it's a 452 varmint.
i do a lot of shooting and that 22 has produced the smallest group i have ever printed with any weapon in my life.
0.042 in @ 25 yds. five shots

thats not just pretty good.

OK. Why ask if you have already bought it? If you want some tips on how to fix the trigger check here:
