    Great gun IMO as they have a very flat trajectory which has lead to people criticise them as a point and shoot gun!!:confused: But thats what any hunter wants:)
    Definitely a rabbit gun IMO

    What do you intend using this rifle for, where do you intend using it, have you secure storage, have you ever had fireams before ?

    yes Bunnyshooter,i have had guns for the last 15 years,and i have permission to shoot all over the country,and i want to use it for fox mainly,as the CZ .22 is ok for them at a easy range but not them who stand out of firing range of the .22,so the licence is no problem,its just which 22-250 or .223 to go for.
