Common Rimfire Bolt Actions

[ovenpaa]

I am trying to think of the most popular bolt action Rimfires here in the UK across all disciplines and for all uses and my guess is:

CZ
Sako
Anshutz

Not sure what it would be after that, have I missed anything hugely obvious, or put it a different way if you shoot a bolt action Rimfire what is it?

Weihrauch

Browning - if the T-bolt counts....
Savage

[1066]

I would guess there's a fair few of the old BSA Sportsman 5 still around - good solid accurate rifle.

Dave,
I personally shoot CZ and BSA bolt guns (and used to shoot an Anshutz) and more recently we bought MagTech 8122's. So you list is not far off what I shoot.

Maybe Brno? Maybe not so 'popular' but I'd reckon most clubs have a few tucked away in their cabinets.

BSA, Remington, Mossberg, CZ, BRNO, Sako, Savage Arms, Puma, Voere, Anschutz, Magtech, Norinco, Ruger

I believe there may be one or two other makes in circulation but those above are the ones I've found with very little searching. HTH :)

An agricultural CZ

Maybe Brno? Maybe not so 'popular' but I'd reckon most clubs have a few tucked away in their cabinets.

Is the CZ a later development of the Brno or are there distinct differences, it is something I am not really sure on.

[Mattnall]

The BRNO and CZ are essentially the same make and model (at least with mine),certainly to look at. I have a couple of examples of both here (452 and No2?) and the actions are identical to look at and that's great as we use them for training so it doesn't matter which one the newbies get, the wood has minor differences between all of them.
