I don't own a rifle in .17 but I do have rimfire rifles manufactured by Savage, Marlin, Mossberg, Ruger and CZ. Most were purchased without benefit of Internet research or much forethought beyond immediate use or need.
One notable exception was the CZ 452 which, like most every other brand had a loyal following from owners with the usual banter on outstanding accuracy, fit, finish and warranty. So many were the reports I relented and bought mine only to confirm what had been claimed.
Looking over the lot of my rimfires, that CZ stands out as the one rifle I'd keep above all others for accuracy, for balance and to pass down to my daughter some day. Too bad for my sons but there are other firearms set aside for them. You'd do well to consider adding a month or two to the wait and save for a CZ, not that a Savage or Marlin won't do the trick but then most guys I know dream of Corvettes, not daily drivers.
