K22: That WAS a lovely stock on your old 452!
To bad it went haywire.
I have relayed this before on this site.
My good friend and Gopher Hunting buddy Don Griffis (who sadly passed on last week at age 85) owns/owned a CZ 452 heavy barrel Rifle in caliber 17 Mach2.
It has a Leupold 6x18 variable scope on it. Anyway he and I were out to our local range one spring day sighting in (double checking) our Gopher Rifles.
Using the above mentioned "Eley" 17 Mach2 ammunition I saw Don shoot a 5 shot group at 100 yards (in dead calm air) that measured just a "hair" over .250"!
We were both super impressed with that accuracy by the CZ 452.
Don't give up on the quest for a CZ in 17 Mach2.
Man the woods look "thick" down there in western North Carolina! Never been to either of the Carolinas myself - hope to someday.
Again best to you and the CZ 457.
Hold into the wind

Thick? You got that right.
If I want to shoot more than 100yds. I'd have to set up on Main st. or go down to the airport.
