I toyed with a lot of .22 rifles for a canoe camping gun, and for light weight and compact size, the CZ scout beats them all. JUst as compact as a 10/22, way more accurate, and dead nuts reliable with any ammo you can stuff into it, being a bolt action. And 10 round mags are made by CZ for it. I haven't found any other .22 to match the CZ for hitting what your shooting at. The 10/22's can be finicky.
