Precision type rimfire rifle?

Reading 'intended budget' made me laugh.

Thanks. Probably a good deal for what it is but pretty much double my current intended budget right now.

If you up your budget you could do a stock 455 and an alright Burris or Bushnell scope.

Or, do a Savage Mark II FV-SR and get one of the Burris or Bushnell "tactical" line scopes and be alright:

CZ 457 or Tikka would be your best bets.
Spend extra on a scope. FFP scope with close focus and good turrets. Scope might cost more that the rifle...
Quality target ammo will be the last piece of the puzzle.
Go visit Hoser's match when it comes back online.

I was looking for a Savage Mark II FV-SR when I found a CZ455. I will spend twice as much on the glass as I did on the rifle and feeding it bulk packs sort of defeats the purpose so it won't be saving much money compared to a Savage centerfire rifle.

I have never been disappointed by any of my CZ rifles. They have a couple of models with threaded barrels.

American Rifleman had a nice write-up on the CZ 457 last month

Update.

Leaning towards the Tikka T1X with plans to eventually stick it in a KRG Bravo chassis.

Probably start looking around for the rifle soon. Once acquired, I will likely wait a couple of months to pick up the chassis to spread the cost out over time.

Might actually get the ball rolling on a suppressor before I pick up the chassis.

Ray, look into a form 1. Seems the eFile turnaround time is pretty quick.

Hmm. Every time I think of building my own I?m just picturing a bunch of washers and a mag light and drilling things on the drill press. Lol.

I imagine there are sources these days where I can buy most of the parts and save some fabrication on my end?

I went with a la carte so I could do a titanium blast baffle without doing the whole interior as titanium.

Waiting on form 1 approval. Get the jig for drilling. Don’t drill til you have the stamp.
