    I can't make up my mind. Help

    I really need a new rim fire rifle. It is between these two beauties.
    The CZ Maple 22 LR. Big pro on its side is the ability to easily get 25 round magazines. For gopher shooting it would be sweet to preload 4 of those and be able to just shoot and not reload

    The other choice is a Henry Silver Boy 17 HMR. I have the Golden Boy in 22 LR with a 3x9 Nikon on it and really like the look and feel of the firearm.

    They're both great firearms. They both visually appeal to me. The CZ is much lighter but I shoot off a stick in the field and don't mind the heavier GB. If I put the SB and GB on wall mounts it would look incredible. I don't really need another 22 LR and would like a 17 HMR.
    The down side of the GB and SB is loading in the field. Not a big deal but not as easy as popping in a preloaded mag.
    What do you think?

    I'm a bit of a Czech-whore but I would have to say the Henry based on the info provided.

    Based on my personal experience, the CZ rifles are amazing. The CZ has less moving parts better quality material, and more inherent accuracy. Don't get me wrong, the Henry would be great fun, but if you shoot a lot, 10 years from now, it will be worn lose while the CZ will still be tight and accurate.

    I don't gopher shoot, but I do grouse hunt. If getting in and out of vehicles is something you will be doing, don't get the lever action Golden Boy. It is a HUGE pain to load & unload quickly. Watching my friend trying to load quickly and then unload his GB grouse hunting last year was kinda humourus. He went and bought a 10/22 the next day.

    A victimless crime is a term used to refer to actions that have been ruled illegal but which are argued not to directly violate or threaten the rights of any other individual.
