As a new shooter, I am looking for opinions on a firearm for target shooting. I am not a hunter, just a plinker. I have purchased a few revolvers (2×.357 and 1× .45) and now I am looking for a long gun that would be fun on the range. Any thoughts? Opinions? Guidance? Thanks for your help.

Cz457 or Tikka T1x are two excellent options for precision 22LR's. People are literally shooting these rifles out to 200-300m nowadays.

Picked up a Cz457 mtr xrs 16" myself a few months ago, the thing is absolutely gnarly in terms of both accuracy and (in my opinion) looks. I had been heavily leaning towards the Tikka but had a CZ pop up locally and I now cannot recommend them enough.

Edit: PM'd you a photo of my Cz457 mtr xrs 16" 🤤
