I'm eyeing up this one currently.

Diamondback Tactical 6-24x50 FFP

Please Select Reticle | 30mm Tube

vortexoptics.com

I have this one on my 457 MTR and although I am a novice with scopes have been happy shooting ARA matches with it. Being that it is on a rifle I use only for benchrest shooting being SFP is not an issue. Glass is pretty nice for the $$

Vortex Strike Eagle 4-24x50 with EBR-4 MOA Riflescope SE-1627

The Vortex Strike Eagle 4-24x50 Riflescope delivers the versatility of both short and long-range shots built on rock-solid quality housing. Get free shipping on order of every Vortex optic. Shop the best Vortex Rifle Scope online at Eurooptic.com.

I have this on my “long range” .308 and it is FFP and a fine scope for the money. Have shot out to 600 yds with it on a LR308

SH-4J 6-24X50 FFP Illuminated VHR/VPR - Zero Stop - 34mm Tube

The SH-4J raises the bar, now coming standard with Japanese ELD glass and choice of reticle (VPR or VHR). Like its predecessor, The SH-4J incorporates adjustable elevation and windage turrets with tactile and audible clicks.

I'm about to have an entire CZ arsenal lol, I do get paid next week, so I might actually throw my bid in. Thanks for sending that my way!

Although its a neat rifle and somewhat unusual you may be better served leaving it for the collectors (@mcapo). If you want a fun to shoot 22 that you can easily get parts, mags and upgrades to, possibly suppress at some point you may be better served with something like this for about $430 new + shipping although I have seen them used for less from time to time

CZ 457 AMERICAN SYNTHETIC SUPPRESSOR-READY, 22 LR, 5RD, 20IN, 1/2X28, NITRIDE, BLK SYNTHETIC, AMERICAN-STYLE, 11MM DOVETAIL

<p>The classic American-style rimfire rifle, the 457 has a 24.8' barrel with no sights and is meant to be topped with a scope. Like all of CZ's 457's, it has an 11mm dovetail milled into the top of its receiver for attaching scope ring/mounts. This suppressor ready model features 1/2x28 threads...

I don't mind going used, especially if I get a deal. Pretty much all I'd really use a 22 for is plinking/fun or to teach the GF to shoot. I'll shop around and see what I can find those 457 for used.

I would never tell someone not to buy a gun so this is more like me suggesting you buy two. lol Let's be honest I participated in a Hi-point purchase with other miscreants herein - so - I would buy anything.

A 451 is an out of production firearm that had various levels of quality throughout its history. The last of them generally are not known for being stellar - though some are. If that one listed for auction was a much older one, I would be all over it like (insert analogy here).

It will probably end up selling for something not far off of a 457?

A new/used 452/455/457 will be miles better.

So really you should buy a 451/452/455/457 and throw in a 512 just to be safe.

Then we can really get started on making some further purchases. ;-)

Honestly in that case, go with a semi auto... More fun for plinking and a new shooter. Then with some of the money you saved, put a dot and a supressor on it to increase the smiles per gallon.

Or if you are @mcapo you just buy all of the above.

Good evening CZers. I'll throw a vote in for the 457. Thoroughly enjoy mine. It's a lot better shooter than me.

And can do local pickup, pay cash and save some fees at Marksman in Westfield

Never seen that model but if one of you would like to purchase that for me to test, I'd happily provide the ammo.

I'd buy it if (1) no one else round these here parts be interested and (2) it stays cheap!

Speaking of your scopes.

 

[patience0830]

Man, what a PITA. Trying to reload .20 VarTarg. Been a while. Cases grew. Found 2 after cleaning with split necks. No .20 cal pilot for trimmer. Found 17 cases out of 50 that were inside case length. Destroyed 1 seating a bullet. So I have exactly 16 rounds with which I can sight in this pistol .. Got a buddy with a groundhog problem I'd like to solve with these. We'll see how it goes.

The lazy bobcat paid a daylight visit, it was disappointed that there was no carrion on the pile. Probably confused the location of the gunshots. The gardener has also been digging up it's snoozing spot in the large compost pile so it may move on.

I’m in for whatever number has a set trigger and excellent barrel in .223 or 22-250.

No experience with it but what a cool caliber.

Pistol? TC?
