I would also comment that some CZs are very good shooters while others are just okay but they are great when you consider they sell for around $400.00.īenchrest shooting is all about accuracy. If you go that route they will require trigger jobs (stock trigger pull is way to heavy for competitive shooting) and you need the right bag or add a benchrest block to the forearm to hold it in the rest. I can highly recommend The Fulghum Front Rest and Protektor Rear Bag filled with heavy sand. Just buy quality gear to start with and save yourself money in the long run. You can buy inexpensive rests and rear bags but you will end-up buying better gear after you shoot for awhile.

The first thing they told me was to buy quality gear. A great group of local shooters took my under their wings and provided me with some great advice to get me started with the right decisions. Thanks for any advice.I joined the hobby of benchrest rimfire shooting last October. It would have been a good stater rifle for now. I used to have a Ruger 10/22 that was pretty accurate. I noticed that a lot of the old bench rest type rifles look to have ambidextrous type stocks even though they are right hand bolts. Savage offers this rifle in left hand version. I noticed that one of the guys was shooting a heavy barreled Savage with good results. I would like to possibly use the rifle for shooting prone as well. That causes some problems as there are not many options for left hand bolt action rifles. Unfortunately I am left handed and my left eye is my dominant eye. The club I would be shooting with is a local sportsman club so the rules are pretty loose. I used to shoot 4 posistion back when I was a kid, but have been away from competition for many years.

Best scope for 22lr benchrest
