I currently own 7 CZ rimfires, and have owned a 77/22 and the Marlin the past. The CZ bolt action line of rimfires are probably the best rimfire rifle buy for the money out there. There is nothing wrong with the 77/22 but my Ruger .22 American shoots just as accurate, it just doesn't have the walnut furniture and the American lacks the polished finish. I am quite fond of my American because it shoots so well and because it takes a lot of abuse. I wasn't to impressed with the Marlin, I only kept it for a few months and then traded off. If you are shopping, don't forget to look at the Browning T-Bolt. They are usually in line price wise with the 77/22 and I would take the Browning over the 77/22 any day. I own an older model and one of the new production models.
The CZ trainer you are looking at and the CZ Lux are the same model, the trainer comes with a beech stock and the Lux is turkish walnut. I have a CZ 452 American that I cut the barrel down to 16" for easy carry in thick brush that I kill a lot of game with. My 452 in .17 Mach 2 shoots like a stinkin lazer!
