Good choices though.

My advice would be to try a .17 and see what you think!... You may be pleasantly surprised by the reach on a gopher!....
whats a rimfire zone? never heard of such a thing, so i cant see if affecting me.. everywhere near my place people use CF rifles.

and its not really the gophers im bothered about. as its easy to get well within 100m of a gopher.. more the long range target stuff. see i want a practice rifle for when i get my AI.308, so ive got something cheaper to shoot but still able to go a fair distance out... and i also want a good accurate cheap all day shooter, which the CZ in .22 will do nicely..
