It depends on what you want. The XXII will be a nicer rifle in every aspect, the stock quality, the metal finish, the machining, even the trigger.I can get the Weatherby for $700.00 new, the CZ 453 Varmint new for $540.00. So I guess the $64K question is the Weatherby worth the extra $160? Though I could pop for a high end annie, my goal is to get a .17 rifle and a scope and keep things as close to $1K (+/- $100) since Christmas was not too long ago.
You'd better shoot one first before you throw away good money for the same performance.
Come on dubble A your really starting to make me jealous with all those nice rifles that I can't afford lol. Seriously though they are very nice rifles and those pictures look great.Beauty and the beast all in one.....
Not even close, but they are not they same trigger style anyway. The 64 is a 3 way adjustable single stage and the 453 is a single set trigger, and is nice. If you prefer the set trigger then the 64 will not be good enough to change your mind, same with the other way around. But if you are on the fence and don't care, I don't think the incredible accuracy adjustments and perfect crispness of the 64 can be beat.From what I have seen with base model 64 triggers I think they are fairly comparable to the 453 triggers. The 452 triggers not so much, unless really worked with, but the 453 is its own beast. The better Annie triggers are on their own but the base model isn't off from the CZ 453 trigger. Accuracy on the 64 line seems to be a little better than the CZ line, though not always and not always by much.
