It's the Russian counter to Anschutz. I have one of the first generation CM2 rifle. They're nice but I'll still take an Annie, Walther, or Suhl over one. For informal target/varmint I would go CZ, Kimber (if you can find one), or Cooper. Except for price I'd also consider of the Russian rifles the biathlon style 7-2, 7-4 etc version with the straight pull. It's also the base for the Russian 22LR Sniper rifle SV-99. Unfortunately they won't sell the SV-99 to civilians or export them. Even getting the stock to convert one over is almost impossible.
I wouldn't pay big bucks for one. Nice but not that nice.
It helps if you get a bit of history with these rifles. Start with the CM2 and then go from there. Also do a web search for CM-2ko, CM2-Ko and SM-2. You should find some stuff on that US rimfire site.
Here's a picture of my Vostock CM2. This is a not very common first gen one. I was fortunate to get this rifle at what I would call a steal. Again its a first gen. The later ones that are a bit more common and have the same sort of recessed Crown as the new ones were the Ural model. Then it carries on. Good guns and for the right price I wouldn't hesitate. But... there is no way I would buy the newest one at Annie or other high end 22LR prices.

I also have a newer CM2- Cadet. Fully adjustable trigger. Mine is down to just over a pound. Beautiful rifle to shoot. To mount a scope you need to find rings that will clamp down to 8mm to fit the dovetail. Have only had it out twice since I bought it but is showing promise.
Mine looks sililar to this one.

A friend of mine bought it from someone else for me. When I bought it there was no rear sight on it. I have since found one that was drilled and tapped to accept Anshutz apertures. I have never seen one of these listed in the EE so I am guessing they aren't too plentiful. You might be able to get I run guns to bring one up from the states for you. What city you close to? I travel between Oakville and Havelock if you want to have a look at it.
