22 Rim fire help

Of the rifles you have listed I would opt for the CZ452, my preference would be the Varmint model.

I have a Ruger 77/22. It's a good rifle but I found the CZ to be slightly more accurate. I do prefer the appearance & feel of the Ruger. However it required a Green Mountain barrel & an aftermarket trigger for it to better the CZ's performance.
 
From those 3 choices, you'll likely get a lot of votes for the 452... One of the better made rimfires on the market with excellent inherent accuracy. Couple it with a YoDave Trigger Kit ($15 - http://www.yodaveproducts.com/) and you get an incredibly accurate rifle for a reasonable price. Perhaps not the cheapest rifles out there, but you get what you pay for.

I've had a 452 Silhouette for 3 years now and would never sell it... I plan for it to be my kids first gun - when I get there.
 
Dont have any, but i looked at the CZ and the T bolt, i thought both were awesome and really wanted to get a Tbolt (too poor though). I've never heard a bad thing about either but i've heard way more about the CZ so its got my vote. But i think you'd be happy with either. Never seen or heard anything about the ruger.
 
I have owned all 3 and still have the T-bolt and CZ, don't waist your money on the Ruger as it takes alot of aftermarket parts and work to make it into a good shooter, plus there but ugly and don't fit well to the shoulder! The T-Bolt weather it is the new or old are worth the money and very accurate, my T-1 old style Browning shoots beer caps standing at 30 yards no problem with the peep sights. For your money you better act quick if you want a CZ 452 as there all sold out of production forever, so pick one up right away, best gun for quality accuracy,price and handling quality, cheers Dale in T-Bay
 
Unless you are the kind of person who can eat only one Lay's potato chip - steer clear of the CZ. I'm picking up number four today and trying to decide if number five will be a Varmint or a Full Stock.
 
I have owned all three. Still have the T-Bolt as my son claims it as his.
I sold the CZ as it was a varmint model, and some day will get an American.
I would go with the CZ.
 
Although it's not listed in your top 3, I'd have to recommend the Winchester Wildcat. It's a light, ridiculously inexpensive bolt-action .22lr, manufactured by TOZ in Russia.

When I bought one less than a year ago (for plinking, and my friends who want to go target shooting with me), it was only around $250 Cdn, came with 4 magazines, and despite it's price, puts up a decent fight with my Anschutz 1416. It's not even finicky with ammo when you're practicing. Oh, and my friends love it too, especially the first timers.

It shoots nice tight groups easily with open sights at 50 yards, and even better out to 100 with some decent glass. My brother and I like to practice hitting a 12" plate offhand at 200 yards at the local range with our bolt .22's, and I can hit it - depending on my steadiness and drop estimate - which I'm not that good at yet - at least 6 or 7 times out of ten on an average day (with a little 4 power optic zeroed at 50 yards), more if I'm lucky.

Either way, you've got some good selections there!

my paddle stock 77/22 is light, accurate, accepts 25 round clips and is claimed by my wife, you would have to look for a bipod adapter and drill holes(paddle stock version)

my t-bolt 17hmr t/v is accurate and very quick on the next shot
i shoot left, off a bipod with a right hand gun, the straight pull design seems an advantage for me

if you go with the t-bolt grab extra clips as they seem to empty real fast
luck cal
