I can only speak from what I know. And when it comes to .22's, the Marlin 60 is all I know. Considering how terrible a shot I am, this thing makes me seem like a good shot!
Most accurate budget 22LR

No Savage 64 on the list?
I'm also thinking about getting a bolt action 22 w/clip. I just looked up the CZ452 trainer. I like the barrel length. Is this a good Gun? I know nothing about CZ. I now only have a Winchester 67 smooth bore, single shot, made in 1935.

Look around for a CZ 452.The most bang for the buck IMHO.

I wanted an Ultra Lux myself but couldn't find one with the Turkish walnut stock at the time. I settled for a Lux with walnut stock. I have no regrets; this rifle is a fantastic piece of machinery.
It is my "goto" rifle. If I'm having a bad day at the range, all I have to do is pick up this rifle and shoot it. It tells me immediately if I'm suffering from operator error or bad equipment. Unfortunately it tells me that 9 times out of 10 the operator is at fault.
According to the CZ website, the Ultra Lux is only available in beech...or at least it is only available new in beech now.
My dad was drooling over a 513 basic, and my LGS had a CZ 452 sale and I thought they were much better looking than the 513, so I went over and looked at the Lux, FS (only had it in .17HMR or I would have gotten that) and the Ultra-Lux, they didn't have the training rifle on display. The Ultra-Lux was $50 cheaper than the Lux with a walnut stock and I actually liked the look of the Ultra-Luz wood better and I really liked the cheek piece on it, which the Lux did not have. So I bought it. When I got it home, I said...."damn, that is a long barrel" I compared it to some other guns we have and it has the longest barrel of any rifle, rimfire or center fire. I started to worry he wouldn't like it. I was at the shop with him one day and he said he considered the shorter barrel on the Lux to be too long. I won't give him the gun until Christmas, so I am kind of worried. Maybe I will just tell him, if the barrel is too long I will take the Ultra-Lux and give him the money to buy the 513 or the Lux or maybe we can order an FS in .22 LR. The long barrel doesn't bother me a bit and I love the look of the gun.

Go to a pawn shop and for less than $120 pickup Marlin Model 60 or better yet the Glenfield model 60 by Marlin with the squirrels on the stalk and you will be very happy!

I've had my blued 'Marlin Model 60' for a couple decades, countless thousands of rounds through her.
She is still pretty much a tack driver inside 100 yards when fed quality target ammo.
Still groups a nickel at 50yrds, quarter at 100yrds and one head shot Mockingbird that landed atop a 100 yard target stand.
I still have/use the cheapo 3-9x32 Tasco scope that came with it.
It dates back to when Tasco was still a good and inexpensive optic...
Now they're just junk.

Marlins do last a lifetime. If you can afford a model 39, get one. If not, a model 60 is a pretty solid choice too.
