If anyone is trying to decide on a bolt action 22lr, I would recommend you look at the Cz 457 rifles. You are not gonna find a rifle with a smoother bolt out of the box. The accuracy with run of the mill 40gr federal auto match is phenomenal. Still haven’t put any match grade ammo through it yet but I will soon. Going back to the bolt, I will say that even though it was smooth out of the box I polished the bolt with flitz and a dremel just to see if I could get it any smoother. And I can honestly say that once I unlock the bolt, it is so smooth it just glides back and forth under it’s own weight. The adjustable trigger on this rifle is more amazing than the bolt, the lightest setting has to be close to a pound and take up and travel can also be set. I believe you can get an aftermarket trigger spring and get the trigger down to ounces. The beautiful walnut stock is icing on the cake.
