I applied for a silencer tax stamp earlier this year, and while I wait for that to come through (not expecting it till at least April or May of 2022), I decided to go shopping for a threaded barrel .22 rifle with which to use it. After much deliberation and research, I decided on a CZ 457 ProVarmint.
The short-ish 16.5" barrel looks a little funny with a long Vortex Crossfire II 4-12x40 AO scope on it but with the can screwed on, should bring it back to correct proportions. Talley 11mm dovetail high rings round out the setup. Unfortunately the rings didn't come in till this evening after dark, so I won't have a good opportunity to sight it in until Turkey Day.
The rings were a bit tricky to adjust the scope in because of their vertical break, but with some patience and a level, I got it pretty much exactly where I want. Some blue threadlocker was applied to ensure no loosening over time.
