Thread: CZ 455 - barrel interchange

switch barrels are a good idea . . . but its not going to work for the guy wanting to shoot Rabbits during the day with the .17hmr and later to shoot Coons at night with the .22lr

now if you want say a good .22lr rifle with the option of trying something different like a .17 or .22mag later without the expense of buying a complete extra rifle/scope package its going to work for you.

i tried a .22mag barrel out, didnt like the caliber, onsold it on TM for $150 and later bought a sporter .22lr barrel on TM for the same price.

if you want to customise a rifle with an after market barrel like Lilja without getting a gunsmith envolved its going to work for you.

i have a .22lr heavy varmint/target barrel, a sporter barrel in .22lr and a sporter 17hmr, a selection of stocks from target to sporter in wood and plastic . . . that covers all my rimfire shooting, to have 3 different rifles and scopes would cost a lot more.
there is a down side . . . it takes 10 minutes to do a change over and a few rounds to get zeroed . . . i can live with that.
