[QUOTE="5.56×250, post: 2286896, member: 110162"] We sold a lot of CZ rimfire rifles back when I was in the business. Every single customer came back bragging about the out of the box accuracy . The test groups in the box are a joke. I think they just clamp the gun in a vice and make sure it will cycle a clip of ammo. I bought my ruger 77/17 , 1) because it is built like a real rifle instead of a series of tubes like most rimfires and 2) because the CZ had ugly test groups. Several hundred dollars and lots of tinkering has finally netted a 77/17 that truly shoots world class rimfire groupings . But out of the box, the CZ is a more accurate rifle on average. The new ruger American? Looks nice, but the jury is still out on accuracy. My son bought one last year in 17hmr. We haven't had a chance to do any real testing with it yet I just ordered a Lilja sporter weight barrel for my 77/17 . The volquartsen barrel has shot a couple groups in the .2s at 100yds, but its only 16.5 inches long and I want to get my velocity back. I've never witnessed a better rimfire barrel that a Lilja , so I'm expecting as good , or better out of the 23 inch Lilja than I got out of the 16.5 inch volquarsen . I will post up results when I get some good data,velocity and accuracy. [/QUOTE]
