Got the 452 back today. Was up early hoping Fedex would get here early so I could take her out shooting. Was hopeful, but didn't turn out that way.

Trigger job came out nice. I believe Harlan to be right on when he said it would be around 2 3/4 lb pull. Very clean, smooth, crisp break.

Well, here she is with the scope back on and a can threaded on to check fit and take some pics.

Can threaded perfectly.

Won't get a chance to shoot it for several days. Put an empty case in the chamber and dry fired it a few times. Liking the trigger a lot so far. Yuge improvement over what I had. We'll see how she shoots next week.

That does it.....I'm boxing mine up this weekend. What length did you finally decide on with the barrel? 16.5 or 16.75?

Anybody ever have any issues with the DIP bases? The first one I had bent and seemed to be made out of pretty sorry aluminum. The one I have now I installed with blue loctite and used light pressure with he small arm of the wrench to install. Seems to be holding fine but I haven't really used it much.

I had a problem with my first one, but that was on me. Didn't get it down tight enough. Working lie a champ now.

Thanks, just realized I posted in the wrong thread. I meant to put this in the CZ scope ring thread.

As promised, here's a range report for my 452 American I got back from the CZ Custom Shop. It took me a second week to get to the range. Just had too many things going on at once.

Running a SWFA SS12x42MQ.

Started off with CCI 40 gr SV's to get it sighted back in at 25 yds. Here's a pic walking them in. First shot, top left outside of the black.

Ran a few more mags through it at 25 yds. Boringly accurate. Started playing with the MQ clicks. Well, you'll get the idea. Two 5-shot groups. Screwed the can on after I was satisfied with the grouping at 25 yds with it off. Basically, shot to the same POI. Maybe a couple clicks difference.

[Linked Image]

Moved the target out to 50 yds and switched ammo to those gummy little Wolf 40 gr Match Extras. Resighting back in with the Wolf. All 50 yd shots were taken with the can on.

[Linked Image]

15 shots at 50 with the Wolf Match Extra.

The trigger job from Harlan is really quite nice. Continuous squeeze and it'll pop. Very repeatable and smooth. I'm sure it will get even better with use.

It is not a Kidd 2-stage trigger, but then I didn't pay $300 buck for it, either.

This little .22 is turning into a lot of fun. smile
