I have read up a lot on rifles these past weeks as I'm gearing up to buy my first rifle. I have been focused on the .22lr platform as my first, so I have run across many threads across the internet on this question (it comes up a lot apparently).
From what I gather in my research, the general consensus is, The CZ is much more accurate out of the box then a 10/22. You can modify a 10/22 to match the CZ in accuracy, but it might cost you as much as a CZ rifle itself to get there. So, most threads end with the vast majority recommending buying the CZ for the greater accuracy. Of course, there are die-hard 10/22 fans that say their 10/22 is as accurate ,or more accurate ,then a CZ, but I gather that is an exception to the rule instead of the norm.
There is a reason the you seen so many CZ's when you went to 4H.
(CZ is one of the two top contenders I am currently looking to buy. The other one is a Henry lever action... not as accurate, but it is in the running for the "fun factor")
