I have been looking into getting a very good bolt action .22lr. I have narrowed it down to these........i want THE MOST ACCURATE ONE!, I really don't care about the looks of the gun, but i have heard these relly balence fell and look good as well..........so what do yall think??

Thanx ahead of time??

I have both. The American is 17hmr and the Varmint is 22LR. Both are very accurate. Flip a coin, you can't go wrong.

:grin: i just picked up a nearly new cz varmint 22lr at a good price. after work last fri. i installed my simmons 4-16 boresighter scope and sighted it
in @ 50 yards with wolf match extra. took 5 shots to center of 1" diamond.
then for the fun of it i aimed at the right hand corner and shoot 5 more rounds. it was one jagged hole and measures .38 at its largest out side measurement. i was and am impressed with this great rifle, its smooth,well made and fits right.
but like the man said i'm sure you would be happy with either of them, but i sure like a 22lr that shoots like a $2000.00 bench gun.

good luck!

JUst bought the cz 452 silhouette could not be happier put a nikon 3-9x40 shot the center 1 inch circle of the target with a five shot group but the gun is still getting broken in so i hope for a little better only complaint is that the trigger has alot of kreep before the break but am planning on buy a part from bronnels that claims to fix this will keep you posted

gun control is using one bullet

I have both, and I know one set of rifles doesn't make a definitive conclusion, but so far the American is slightly more accurate. I think with a little bedding tweaking, the Varmint will match it, but the American shoots super right out of the box.
Here's the very first 50 yard group from the American, and I called the flyer.

Down here in AUS the CZ's have always been available. hey are commonly referred to as BRNO's pronounced bruno. They came out in number 1's,2's,3's(?) 4's, 5's. I have owned every model bar the model 3 that was to the best of my knowledge a sigle shot target rifle. My model 1 (1951 manufacture)I have had since I was 13,it has a pull away sear and is a mongrel to adjust.The model 2 is almost identical to the current european model,the model 5 (mine is 1958) has a model 2 action and a model 1 stock and barrel which makes it a carbine length. the model 4 was a target rifle with a magazine and I regret the day I sold mine and have tried to buy it back on many occasions. Not one of the rifles I have owned shot badly, at our local club 50% o f the rifles are CZ/BRNO of different vintageand they all perform perfectly,one of our juniors came in the top 10 in the nationals with a shortened model4. So if you buy an current model you've got a lifetime of reliability and accuracy, I hope you can keep up your end of the bargain.
