[QUOTE="FAL Shot, post: 453187, member: 27328"] I went to a gun show in Billings recently. An old Sears J.C. Higgins .22 semiauto with scope of its day was priced at $295. Most everything used was priced above its value to me, based on what I can pay for new stuff. The wood stocks on the new CZ rifles seem to be better than the used ones I sometimes see in the rack, and I like the new style stocks better.. I see lots of centerfire rifles and shotguns and pistols for sale in the local Thrifty Nickel. Rarely do I see any rimfire rifles for sale. Except for a few cheap semiauto rimfires which are rarely accurate, the gun shops are fairly void of decent bolt reimfires. When a person gets a good accurate bolt rimfire, it tends to become a favorite rifle and it doesn't get traded off in most cases. My CZ 452 is one of what I consider the three most important firearms to own: A .22LR rifle, a 12 gauge shotgun and a centerfire rifle suitable for big game hunting in your area. That covers small game/varmints, fowl and big game. Everything else is an extra, not a bare essential. Those 3 firearms need to be considered carefully. After living here for over 3 years, I have yet to see a single CZ rimfire up for sale in the Thrifty Nickel, although they are one of the most popular new rifles on the racks in local gun shops. There were none for sale at the Billings gun show, but plenty of other brands were available. Shop salesmen tell me that CZ rifles never come back with problems. People who buy them report that they are real shooters. I have yet to meet my first unhappy CZ owner. I'm on my 3rd CZ rifle, not counting my CZ75 pistol. Everything but my FN FAL and Browning shotgun have been replaced with a CZ firearm. An improvement in all cases. CZ builds rifles like we once did. Did you buy something cheaper? Then you probably bought less. I've been looking hard for something better at a lower price, but it never shows up. [/QUOTE]
