Can't say I have a love affair with my CZ 22 but I do get a lot of satisfaction out of shooting it.

It's very accurate and fortunately it shots best with Winchester T22 or Subsonics (ie very affordable ammo).

When I do take it down the range, I end up going through a few hundred rounds in a short period of time (a bit like a chain smoker I guess). When I've filled my targets full of holes I'll start shooting at the staples holding them to the backer - but only take out enough so the target stays put. Wind and luck play a role in my success, but it only takes time and ammo. Shooting thumb tacks at that distance (50 yards) is a bit easier but just as rewarding. All this is shot off a bench rest of course.

The 22 is also an excellent way to practice off-hand shooting (thanks to the cheap ammo) but I'll need to see if I can fit some weights to the rifle somewhere to simulate the weight of my big-bore CZs.
