Hello, I’m in Houston. What part of Texas are you at? I have several bolt guns and my grandson has a semi-auto. If you are new to guns, a bolt rifle is much easier to clean, tends to be more accurate, and there are a lot of great options. The CZ in any of its variants is pretty accurate for a factory gun with very little fiddling with. All the actions are the same no matter what caliber rimfire you get. There is a ton of aftermarket support for them. Not so much the Bergara. If you want semi-auto I would look at a Ruger. There is a hugh aftermarket of parts for that style .22lr.

 

I'm from the San Antonio area. I live just west of there in a small town of La Coste. I ordered a CZ today. Looking forward to shooting it soon.

Welcome from Kansas

 

Hello everyone. My daughter and I are just getting into rimfire rifles. I've been bouncing ideas between semi auto or bolt action. Eventually going to have several rifles in each category but for now I'm going to start with a bolt action. Been looking at the CZ the most, then the Bergara BMR-X and a few others. We don't plan on doing any competitions, just for fun with friends and family. Any other advice you'll recommend before we get started down this path would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Blake

CZ makes nice rifles. I bought a left-hand 452 American for my daughter when she got her Distinguished Expert badge at our local juniors club. The American has a western-style stock without that Roman nose butt contour that most of the CZs of that period had. Be aware that you'll need a .17 caliber cleaning rod for it; the bore is just a hair too tight for a standard .22 rod.
If she's still growing, the Savage Mk II is a very solid rifle for the money. It's available in a number of configurations, from a plastic target-style stock with spacers to adjust length of pull, up to very nice looking walnut stocks, laminated wood, thumbhole, you name it, some shaped for iron sights and some with a higher comb for use with a stock, with or without target sights. We had a number of the single-shot target rifles as club guns, and they were rugged, accurate, and reliable. They all have the Savage AccuTrigger. That's the one with the blade safety in the middle of the trigger. It allows a very light, crisp trigger pull that is also very safe. By my guess, nearly half the bolt action rifles made in the USA now use either that same trigger or a license-built copy of it. It's that good.
