Advice on .22 WMR
#11
I would also add the Savage Model 93 to you list of options. I have one in 17 HMR and that thing is a tack driver and shoots like a dream. I will say this though, my buddy has the CZ 455 in 22 WMR and that thing is also a joy to shoot. I'd say buy the one that feels best in your hands...

The extra FOV of a 44mm or 50mm objective is nice when you're looking for small targets downrange, and pulls up extra light for you for dawn or dusk hunting - especially in the 30mm tube.
The 4x bottom end will give you plenty of FOV for short range work, but having the extra magnification of 12x up to 16x at the high end will help focus in on little varmints way out there at 150yrds, further if you so desire.

150 yds isn't really way out there. i doubt i'd need a 12x scope to see a woodchuck. probably stay with a 4x fixed.
But here's the thing. I went to order the CZ455 and the guy asked me if I reload. said if i do (and i do), i should think about stepping up to the cz 527 in 22 Hornet. said I can reload cheaper than 22wmr. more bullet choices, as fast or slow as i want. i don't know anything about a 22 hornet. so now i don't know what to do.
