This is outstanding .22 porn in this thread. I tend to go old school in my rimfire choices and I still prefer bolt action and relatively slower shooting. While I too will sing the praises of the CZ-452 line, do not overlook the Savage Mark II G series. For about $200 you can get into a drilled and tapped wooden stock accurate bolt action with a free floating barrel. The G series also comes with Savage's patented Accu-Trigger, which easily allows (and encourages) the novice layman to safely set their own trigger pull weight anywhere from 1.5 to 6 pounds. Both the CZ-452 and the Savage Mark II G bolt action rifles are offered in left handed versions for all us wrongsiders.
