Decisions, decisions

???
I am looking at buying a .22 but can not decide between between a 2nd hand CZ mod 452, scoped for R2250 and a new Armscor Sterling 14P for R1995.
I know that the CZ is a verry good working rifle, but quite like the idea of the Sterlings stainless barrel.

Is there a difference in reliablity and accuracy?
Any opinions?

Take the R2250 and buy a secondhand Remington / Sako.

Yea, I surely sound snobbish, but a .22LR is (for me personally) like that royal princess of the arsenal...

Here is some info about the 2 rifles you mentioned:

I never understood guys who wanted a 'cheap' .22 rifle OR pistol. In the average year, lots of people (especially now with ammo prices thru the roof) will shoot more $$$ / RRR worth of ammo in a .22 than they paid for the weapon, and will keep it (and continue to shoot it) for decades, maybe even teaching their kids or grand kids on it, yet the same guys will think nothing of dropping a small fortune on a hunting rifle they use only a few times a year. Go figure, eh?

Get the best .22 you can afford and proceed to shoot the ever living Hell out of it I say! ;D
