Oh, there are cheaper bolt guns, the CZs are just well thought of because they offer almost match-grade accuracy together with an old-world quality feeling for a very nice price. You could get a bolt-action from other manufacturers for quite a bit less, and more than likely not notice much difference at the ranges you're talking.
The 10/22 is extremely popular, but I have been told that it requires significant investment in aftermarket parts to make them tack-drivers.
EDIT: Art, what exactly is that? It looks neat.
