Range time with a couple .22s

[2ndovc]

Made it out to the range this morning with my 39a and my new CZ-452/ 22mag.

I only had two different brands of .22 mag with me and quite a difference between the two.

I started with the 45Gr. Winchester Dynapoint. Set the nifty tangent rear sight at 50 yds and the first shot
was just a little right at 2 o'clock. Then proceeded to shoot several nice little groups off my range bag that averaged
right around an inch.
Next up was the Remington Premier 33 gr. Accutip.
This was a suprise. I was expecting even smaller groups but found the exact opposite. Group size
ran up to 5"+. Guess it likes the heavier bullets better. Glad I started with the Winchesters.
Really a nice little rifle.


Did some offhand practice with the 39a. when a couple guys showed up and planted themselves right next to me
with some big old stainless magna whatsit and started blasting away. Half a box later they still hadn't hit the paper.

Oh well. Was time to go anyway.

Cool beans. I would like to get a 22mag some time, just don't know what(besides the 9422M) it would be.

CZ makes the finest bolt action rimfires, for the money, today. I currently have two 452's, a LUX and an American, both 22lr. I had a 22mag American and once I cleaned out the barrel channel it shot 1" or better, 5-shot groups, at 100yds, 50% of the time or better. You'll find most 452's have the stock touching the right side of the barrel. It really doesn't matter on a 22LR, but a 22mag will heat the barrel up and push against the stock....changing harmonics. The only ammo it group well with was Winchester Supremes.

Great to see you brought the 39A along.

I've always wanted a 9422M too but haven't been able to connect with one for the right price/condition with $$ in my pocket.
I'm really pleased with this little CZ though.. I know it's one of those dreaded "Bolt guns" but I really like it. The Gander Mtn. where
I pcked this one up also had one with a heavy barrel in 17mach 2. Been trying to talk myself out of going back for that one too.
