That's why I voted "other".Not on the list but an excellent point.

That’s good to hear. Can you post a photo? What base and rings did you use?I just mounted the Viridian Serac scope to my CZ 457 Varmint and find that I really like the glass. It seems a lot better than my Vortex scope that cost around $ 250. I like the click adjustments and the locking rings ( although they feel cheap ) The rest of the scope feels good.
That’s a great song. And it often reflects my reality.I voted Tikka because I like my T3 in 308 and hear good things about the rimfire. If you like wood, as I do, the CZ 457 varmint is hard to beat. I have not wrung mine out yet, but there are many trigger options and mount options for it. I really like the look and feel, but will probably never know how accurate it can be in the right hands. My single disappointment is that the muzzle is not threaded, but that can be fixed at some point. Meanwhile, my Savage Mk II FVSR in alligator hide livery can be used with silencer and is decently accurate.
I would strongly urge personal examination, as the quality and character of CZ stock wood varies widely. They call it the wood lottery, and if it wasn't for bad luck I wouldn't have no luck at all ( a reference to Cream's "Born under a bad sign". The one I got off the rack makes me happy!
I really like the BMR. I haven't properly wrung it out yet but first impressions have been very good.Bergara BMR, just to be different.
There are a number of things I like more than my CZ, and the price of CZs went up quite a bit in the past decade.
Sounds like you're looking to buy a new gun, but if you are opened to used guns, there are some other really great-shooting options in approximately your price range.I have decided that it will be a range gun. I have other guns for the field.
For what I am looking for, <.5” at 50 yards I am guessing wouldn’t be too much to as for in an accurate .22 Long Rifle. Preferably less would be better.
Yes Sir. I did consider a used gun, but I have had a couple of bad experiences buying used guns that were supposed to be “the best”, “the most accurate”, “the slickest”, etcetera, etcetera… only to be truly disappointed in the gun and or the person that sold it to me.Sounds like you're looking to buy a new gun, but if you are opened to used guns, there are some other really great-shooting options in approximately your price range.
My 453 Varminter has a heavy barrel and single set trigger that breaks at ounces once set. With the older Wolf Match I’ve shot multiple sub .5’s at 50 yardsUsed is the only choice. In the used under $700 price range, I'd probably be shopping for a CZ 452/453 Varmint or American.
Many of the models of guns I like are no longer in production. Used is the only choice. In the used under $700 price range, I'd probably be shopping for a CZ 452/453 Varmint or American. It's probably gonna take some shopping around to find a 453 under 700 bucks, though.
LOL I was holding back from saying it, trying not to sound too much like a CZ 452/453 groupie, but if I wanted an all-around gun for bench and some off-bench shooting, I'd be looking for a 453 Varmint also. Or a 452 Varmint and work on getting the trigger really nice (which can be done).My 453 Varminter has a heavy barrel and single set trigger that breaks at ounces once set.

Well thanks for dropping by anyway.Another in the used camp. I have no use for most newly made firearms. Your list doesn't appeal to me.
Don’t be shy… How do you like it?I have that rifle.
I have a question about the Savage Mk 2 BTV for those of you that have one or are familiar with them.
See Pic:

I can’t find a photo that shows the top of the receiver. They sure look like Picatinny rail sections but I would like confirmation.
I am not familiar with the use of 20 or 25 MOA rails and actually wondered why one would need one. Then I remembered the gent that got me hooked on this idea in the first place and how he was shooting 200 & 300 yard plates with his CZ.
After doing a quick search I found a trajectory calculator that was already loaded with CCI Std Velocity data and saw the “rainbow” trajectory graph.

ShootersCalculator.com | Ballistic Trajectory Calculator
Calculates the ballistic trajectory of a bullet fired from a rifle, handgun or other firearm. Produces a ballistic trajectory chart and table that shows the drop, velocity, kinetic energy, windage, and trajectory of a bullet.shooterscalculator.com
Using a 20MOA rail do you Zero at 100yds? This graph shows a 50 yard Zero.
General Question to CZ 457 users:
And, even more importantly, How does one get a 20 or 25 MOA rail on a CZ 457, doesn’t the CZ have an 11mm dovetail for mounting a scope?
Is there any inclination on the CZ dovetail?
Anyone own a Mk 2 BSEV? How’s the accuracy?
Another Savage I came across today on the Bass Pro website is this:
Savage Arms Mark II TR Bolt-Action Rimfire Rifle. It’s a pound heavier than the BTV.
