Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires CZ 452's are in again...

Looks like you are enjoying it. What loads have been working for you? Man I need to get mine out again this weekend.

Nice rig gerrygoat! What scope and rings did you use?

Update on the trigger. Got a Yodave trigger kit, installed
it and all creep is gone with a 1 1/2 lb pull now. Sweet!
Simple install, good directions included, about $18.00 + shipping.

You are probably looking and local dirt's gun, I quoted him in that post but just in case you are looking at my gun on the first page I used Leupold rings and a Weaver 2.5-7x28 scope. Pretty impressed with them. Would like to hear what others are using.

Yes, looks like I was!
Just wondering what bases and rings were used. Looks like a SWFA scope, What power?
Thanks Butch

Happy Bday capt.. I'm not local dirt but I know he used a CZ rail from DIP products and Leupold prw medium rings with a 12X swfa scope.
His is a bulletproof setup and id not hesitate to go that route of you were looking for ideas..

Thanks Certifiable!
I will be looking for that rail. It's hard to find good 22 cal. rings that work well with the 3/8 dovetail.
I've got a 6x24 Weaver Classic mounted right now, but might look into the SWFA.

That's the glory of the DIP rail capt...check out their website or just call and talk to Bob. He's a nice guy and his rails are solid and open up a multitude of choices when it comes to rings..

Just did and ordered the rail. Thanks for the info!

Sure thing...before you snug the rail drop a lead BB down the screw holes for the set screws to bite/mash into as a barrier between the set screw and your receiver. Keeps the screws from marring your receiver..

I've used BKL and Burris Siganature Rimfire rings on CZ's.

Great tip! Thanks again!

I would have gone with the rye!

I bought a mint older 452 American 22lr a few weeks ago. Bought it to introduce a close friend's son into precision shooting. We are going to do a Yo Dave job on it this week. I have a 17 hmr 452 and am amazed at the price vs. quality of these rifles. Briefly had a 455 22lr. My particular 455 did not shoot as well as anticipated. Tried many different brands of target and match ammo. Do most CZ fans prefer the 452 to the 455? My experience with a so so 455 could be an isolated event.

My experience has been that my 455 shoots equal to my 452 sporter, and my 452FS. I have a few older BRNO model 1's, and they are nice shooters as well.

My 455's seem to shoot as well as my 452's.

I had a 452 Varmint in 22 Magnum. I replaced it with a 455 Lux in 22 Magnum. The 455 is just as accurate as the 452 I had, plus it's lighter and the stock fits me better. I know it is only a sample of one each, but I would try a 455 again.

I bought a new 452 last year, and it out-shot my early 455 hands-down. My 455 IS coming around, finally, but the 452 I bought in 2015 was a shooter straight out of the box. All I did was mount a scope on it and shoot.

Some of the early 455s had some problems with the barrel crowns, I'm told. Mine didn't seem to have any, but it never shot as well as I thought it should. It is, now, though, coming around, as I said.
My 452 is shooting the way I thought the 455 should, straight up, right out of the box.

I'm keeping both rifles, I really like them a lot, but I'm more fond of the 452.

I just did a Yo Dave trigger job on a 452. Amazing result! Horrible trigger became a great feeling one for 18 bucks. I bought a Timney for my old 455. It was no better feeling than the Yo Dave converted factory 452 trigger. We will shoot the 452 this weekend. I bought a Kimber 82 this weekend. Would not be surprised if the 452 out shoots it or equals it. My 452 17hmr outshot my heavy barreled 1717 Anschutz.

My recently purchased 452 w/a 12x SS is a dime size one ragged hole launcher.

Buds has some 452 Americans right now:

IMHO,a far better rifle than the 455.
