Well, as I suspected there is no clear winner in this wealth of info and suggestions. Never the less, your input is appreciated and it helped greatly. After some further research and touchie feelie of the real thing, I've narrowed my choice down to the CZ with set trigger or the Savage with Accu-trigger. The Kimber would be my next choice if I was feeling flush at the time. Rocky suggested the Savage with the money saved going toward a good scope; a fine suggestion, but I believe I have a couple of extra scopes around here somewhere.

Also - at Rocky's suggestion - I tore down the old Nylon 66 and gave it a good cleaning. Wow, was it dirty! The build-up in the barrel was enough that a 17 cal wouldn't have dropped through it. Had to plug the barrel and soak it for several days. Who said you never clean a 22? Anyway, before I lay-down the money for that new gun I'll see if the old one has improved. It use to be a good shooter.

Thanks again for your help.
