Dedicated irons sight rifle which one.

[Tinybear]

What would your rifle of choice be to get a dedicated Quality iron sight 22LR trainer in a full size rifle mainly to be used shooting unsupported at 25 yards shooting paper.

I have a few scoped 22lr rifles. But want something to really practice shrinking my iron sight groupings.

Something $1500 or under. Logic dictates a 457 lux, premium or jaguar (which of the three) as I had a few other 457s. But I wouldn’t mind something else either.

I put this 457 together, 20" American barrel, drilled and tapped for CZ iron sights. Sitting in a varmint stock.
It's a ton of fun blasting clays at 50 yards

I think your on the right track with the CZ.
I have a few 452lux and they are excellent

I have a 452 Lux as well and very much enjoy using the iron sight. Makes for good practice.

There is a 54 model 1807 at Reliable guns, a bit higher than $1,500 mind you , but you will be hard pressed to find a better rifle in that price range.
A 190 would be far less expensive mind you if you could find one.....

452 Lux has great irons, used one for years before giving it to my Son.

Jaguar was my choice, the extra long sighting plain makes shooting small groups at 50 yards very easy, and the long barrel makes them quieter

Check the various CZ stock shapes, not all have the proper drop to comb for use with irons

Mine is a Schultz & Larsen model 77 with aperture sights.

Cooey 82 trainer.
Awesome rifle with awesome heritage.

I use a toz-8m. It was literally designed to be a iron sights training rifle. They are a great affordable option.

My first rifle was 452 Lux and it is still my favorite.

Whatever you decide, go for something you can shoulder in the store and see how it feels - one will speak to you! Fit is really important to me with irons as I like to keep the rifle simple without cheek risers or messing with length of pull.

Super surprised your able to get your cheek low enough with that comb, I put an iron sight action in a royal stock and there was no way I could shoot it with irons. Better suited in my lux stock for sure.

My favorite iron site rifle to shoot is my rossi lever, or brothers henry lever

You don't say action type or type of iron sights, but I use a CIL-Anschutz 190 for just this purpose. Also attached is a pdf of the 75ft small bore target used for 3 position rimfire competition. Print it at 100% and I think it is very close to accurate.

Marlin 81DL, the one with the aperture sight.
