I have a CZ 453 17HMR in a Boyds stock, really good little rifle, pity it doesn't get much use as I brought it as a hare rifle and there aren't enough around to bother carrying it in the ute. Nice accurate rifle, with the famous Brno/CZ reliability. the 453 is the set trigger model. I haven't really rung it out yet as I have only put around 150 shots through it. If you are wanting to get one, I could be persuaded to part company with it.

I have a cz 452 in nickel in that cal
Great little rifle, very accurate
But doesn't get used much since I built the 20vt
I also could be tempted to part with it.

That's my biggest problem as well, the 20 cals are just too :homer: useable.

either of those rifles are good quality if they are what you want in a cartridge and barrel weight. See what negotiation you can do on the ruger. Offer $700 and take it if he says yes!
