Love my Ruger American, truly feels like a quality gun that Ruger takes quite seriously. Uses 10/22 mags too.
I'd get the CZ. I have a 455 and absolutely ove that gun.
Second on the CZ. Top quality firearms.
On the other hand, Ruger makes top quality firearms and has the best customer service in the industry.
Tough choice.
The Ruger works quite fine, for me.
At the end of the day, it all boils down to the intended task, and how much One wishes to spend to perform said task.
I tried the Ruger for 2 days and had, shall we say, a less than stellar experience with it. It fed just fine and the scope was a no brainer to mount (3-9x) but I tried every brand and variation of 22 ammo I had, and I used probably 7 or 8 different ones but it shot softball sized groups at 50 yds. Just my luck because I like the way the American stock fits me. I bought a Savage MK II with the slightly heavier barrel and it is VERY accurate. If 'ya got the coin stashed away, I would vote CZ.
For any kind of target shooting, the CZ is the way to go. Start out with some Eley Match in several lot numbers and pick the best one. Then buy a couple (or more) bricks.
