This is my CZ 455 Thumbhole Laminated Varmint in .22LR, and also my latest contribution to the weapon safe. Fitted with a Harris copy bipod (I know I'm cheap..) and a Bushnell Sportsmann 3-9x40mm scope (cheap again, I know...) I plan on getting the .17HMR barrel as well, as this barrel is interchangeable as well (with .17HMR barrels as well as .22WMR)
That's a sweet looking gun!

Know how much it cost?

-1893 L.C. Smith double barrel (damascus steel, dual triggers, hammerless)
-1943 Springfield M-1 Garand (numbers matching, matching '43 Union Fork & Hoe spearpoint bayonet)
-Mossberg 590 Riot (ghost ring sights, vented handguard, 8-shot capacity, bayonet lug)
-AK-47
-Custom Remington 700 .243 (blueprinted, custom aluminum stock, J-P muzzle brake, helical fluting on bolt w/tactical knob, Nightforce 56mm NP-RR1 illuminated reticle, shoots 1/4 MOA all day)
-Custom Ruger 10/22 (a near copy of one my gunsmith buddy built for Joe Montana, bead blasted & coated to give stainless look, stainless Kimber fluted match barrel, Choate stock, jewelled bolt, trigger job, silencer & threaded cap w/recessed crown)
-Winchester Model 70XT in .25-06 w/Burris Posi-Lock 32mm scope
-Ruger Redhawk stainless .44 mag w/Leupold optics
-Custom 1911 Commander .45
-Custom 1911 Gov't model converted to .400 CorBon
-H&K USP .40 Compact

Bunch of other stuff that's pretty standard - hunting rifles in .222, .308, .300WM (all Rem 700's). Shotguns in 12, 20 ga & .410. Other pistols. I also have my very first rifle that my parents bought for me when I was 2 or 3 - a Sears Roebuck single-shot bolt action .22 made for kids (it's pretty short & lightweight). I'll teach my daughter to shoot with that one. ;)

Pictured - the .243, Mossy 590, Tactical Operations Lima sniper rifle (sold it, transplanted the Nightforce scope onto the .243), pistols
I have a massive soft spot for the M1, I love the en bloc with that satisfying ping, I wish UK gun laws would allow me to own one.

"Assault" weapons are cool, but hunting rifles are more my style. Then again, the only thing protecting my "deer" rifle is my "assault" rifle! ;)
