Hi -

I no longer have access to my son's CZ452 rifle. I was happy with it.

I'm thinking of replacing it with a CZ455.

I was also wondering if there is a bolt action that will accept the Ruger 10/22 barrels?

Open to other suggestions.

Thanks,

The Ruger American Rimfire uses the 10-22 magazines, perhaps it also uses the same barrel system?

OK. Went back to the Gun Blast article on the same, the one shot of the barrel/action does not seem to reflect the use of the 10-22 system.

Don't know of any bolt actions that can use 10/22 barrels as a drop in.

The Ruger American rimfires do use the 10/22 magazines, as Paul pointed out, and they are nice rifles, especially in the Target or Precision Rimfire versions.

The common consensus at RimfireCentral is the the 455 CZ rifles tend to NOT be as accurate as the older 452 series. The idea of interchangeable barrels that are clamped in is excellent in theory, but CZ seems to have not found the magic of building these guns so as to ensure repeatable tolerances. Lots of complaints make it not necessarily the norm, but certainly a known risk.

It hasn't hit the country yet, and we have no way of knowing if it will perform, but all indications would seem to point to the new Tikka T1X rimfire as being a very possible contender. I have one on order (retailed at $419.99 shipped) and have high hopes. We shall see.

I’m pretty sure the Ruger 77/22 could use 10/22 barrels. I could be totally wrong, though as I’ve never owned one.

......and 10/22 barrels can be made to work with some machining. Not entirely straight forward, but doable.

Randy (?) at CPC can do it, but remember that the 77/22 went from clamped barrels to threaded quite a few years ago.

Otony - Thanks. I'm waiting on the Tikka report! I'll also keep ear to the ground for CZ452, Ruger American, or even a 10/22.
