My 14 year old son is very interested in getting started with competition shooting. He is going to try out for the 4H state team next month. Our problem is deciding which route to go for equipment. He has a bone stock 10/22 that we take to the range every week or so and he is an experienced shooter. However, CZs appear to dominate the competitions so my first option is to get him a CZ 452 Lux at a cost of $450-$475 according to my local dealer. Option B is to spend the $475 customizing his 10/22 instead of going with the CZ. Which option will yield the better rifle in your opinion? If I should customize the 10/22, recommendations for barrels, stocks, trigger sets, etc. would be more than welcome. Also, what scopes should we look at? Like I said, we're brand new to the competition scene. The description of the 4H tryout is below per one of the organizers:
"Shooters will need to be able to shoot with a scope a metal chicken, about 1/2 the size of a real one, at 100 yards. a Pig about the size of a newborn Chihuahua at 70 yards, a boar the size of my eyeglasses at 50 yards and another chicken (actually I think the 1st one is a turkey) at 40 yards, standing position only. Tryouts we will see maybe three of these things actually hit. In competition, in order to hope to place, you have to hit 20 out of 40."
"The CMP round will be 10 shots in 30 seconds, then slowfire 10 shots in a minute and a half, or something like that. I believe the distance is 75 feet. A decent score at tryouts is maybe 150, at competition over 300."
"NRA three position is at 75 feet also, iron sights only. The rest same as at Millstone, except 40 rounds instead of so. Iron sights only. Tryout scores will need to be 320, at competition 380 to place."
