Suggestions for a beginner's bolt-action .22

OK, so your GF wants a rifle... So PLEASE... Make sure you buy a 'nice' rifle... and a rifle that she like!!!

As others have said, the CZ is probably the best option

These are extremely nice rifles and anyone would be pleased to own one
 
I used to be a big proponent of the Savage rimfires...but my affection for them is really slipping for a host of reasons. That said...I just bought a new FV-SR and it's a pretty decent little shooter. Going forward, I suspect it'll be CZs I'll be shopping for. The metal finishing on this FV-SR's barrel is so rough that when I when I rubbed the barrel down with a lightly-oiled rag (firmly, to get in the flutes) it actually ground a hole through the rag! lol (a retired, cotton T-shirt)

The barrel on my FV-SR is the meme chose...I was surprised how gritty it is. Great little rifle though, I love it.
 
agggh too late!

Congrats on your choice, and I'm sure she'll be happy with it.

I find these threads usually boil down to Savage vs. CZ. Both fine rifles...I have a weakness for rimfires, and my suggestion is usually the same: Don't overlook the golden-oldies! An old Mossberg, Remington, Cooey, and lots more shoot like the dickens. They can be had for low cost, and compare with any of the new horses in the race today.
 
Plz take a look at canadaammo ns522 22lr. (These are not cheap norinco (I like norc anyway) they are made at the chinese olympic factory and have a nice finish) @ 249 for a forged bull match barrel and free shipping they are not to be overlooked. All of the reviews are very favorable :). Just waiting on mine now..will try and put up a review soon!
Have a look at em!
 
I ended up grabbing that MKII off the EE. Since it's down to just two choices really, I'll get the CZ too and let her choose which one she likes best.



I get it, smart. so if she picks the savage you're dumping her, right?


I shoulda done that with my ex woulda saved years of trauma and $$$......:)



Those are both awesome guns- good call trying both Im bloody nuts about my CZ- makes sense to get a real nice looking/feeling/shooting 22lr since its the gun youll prolly shoot the most out of all of em if youre poor like me
