if your not into wood and dont buy into all the hype about the old names ill make a recommendation for ya.
now, remember that this is coming from a fella who grew up on a farm and has committed genocide on gophers for 4 decades, so i may not be the best at killing paper but killing gophers i can do.
anyways, if your wanting something a little more modern have a look at the Ruger American Rimfire.
then go to Cabela's and get one of their house brand scopes for it, Pine Ridge i believe is what they are called, they are by far the best glass for the money on the market, bar none, end of story, bring in the cows and put the cat out.
ive got a couple Cooey, a Savage and have had some CZ's and i picked up the new Ruger American.
its a solid gun and shoots great.
oh, if your wanting a CZ 'type' gun but dont wanna spend 400+ bucks then go to Canada Ammo (in BC) and order up one of those Norinco 533's (??) they are a CZ knock off and from what people are saying they are fantastic guns, and last time i checked they where $250.
ill step back now and let the CZ love fest continue.
