Hey guys, Looking for a accurate .22lr bolt gun and have decided on CZ as the make, 455 series.
Should I purchase the 455 American, comes threaded from the factory or would there be any benefit (barrel wise) to purchase the thicker barrel "Varmint" edition and pay a good smith to thread it for me?
I know its easier to just purchase the factory threaded rifle, but wanted to gain some input from y'all on if there is any benefit accuracy wise to getting a thicker barrel threaded.
Thanks guys.

Re: CZ rimfire question
The heavier barrel will hold steadier, but likely won't be noticeably more accurate.

Re: CZ rimfire question
Depends on what you're doing with it.
As fish points out, if you plan to shoot silhouette competition there is a belief among some of the better shooters that a heavier gun is easier to hold steady without a rest. Accuracy of the shooter may increase without affecting the precision of the rifle.
Ammo, crown and length probably have more to do with the precision of a 22lr rifle than most other things.
My Savage Mark II will outshoot my 16" 10/22 which will outshoot my SBX 10/22 at 100+ yards.
Under 50 yards any of them can kill those little steel chickens all day long.
