Having owned a CZ 455 17hmr and having access to the old mans Anschutz 1517, I would hands down go with the anschutz. Yes they are slightly more than the other options available but are hands down the best rim fire rifle i have shot. CZ bolt needs repeating to smooth it out and the trigger was gritty. If money is an issue go with the CZ, and as stated the savages go well too. An anschutz and a nice leup scope set up would be the bees knees. The old man has the heavy barrel version and is a tac driver. Have just been at our place at Peel Forest over the summer break and shot 17 rabbits with it. All 50-200m and all were head shots as I am a fan of rabbit pie. Let us know how you get on.
