Just bought one for my 14YO son. We just luved the scaled down 452 action. So trim & light! It should complement his Marlin .22 925.
Who here has one?

I have one. Paid $140- off GB which doesn't seem all that long ago but likely is as I have seen they climbed quite a bit in price.
I have /had quite a few variations of the 452's and it is likely the most accurate one as well as giving some of the highest velocities.
Not really a scaled down action. Just a shorter stock/barrel. It can be a bit much for really young kids or younger girls. As such I see it as a second step to the Cricket. A gem none the less.

I've got one that I bought for ME!
It's a little small, but shure is quick pointing. It fits the Wife just right.
Gonna make a GREAT little "porch gun"

That is on my very short list of firearms I'd like to have..
got one of the 25 inch barreled ones...and it is a tack driver, even after 30,000 plus rounds down the barrel... many an Oregon Sage Rat has lost their existence to that rifle..
a neighbor has one, that I think he just loves to taunt me with..
Picatinny rail on top... 1.5 to 4.5 shotgun scope on top, with a laser sight mounted on the bottom...its his nighttime truck gun for shooting pests out on forest service land or in the neighborhood here...such as raccoons in the garbage cans..
My other firearm I kick myself for not picking up is the Ruger 77/17 in 17 Mack 2....would love one of those.. but the folks who own one, aren't selling them.. and if they do, they want double what they paid for them...

Sweet. They all seem to shoot. Outstanding rifles!!! My son has been eyeballing my Brno Model 2(1969 micro-groove barrel type) for a while now  , so it had sense to get him this own..... hehehe

Outstanding. These rifles have got to be one of the most underrated rifles getting around. Classy little gems!

Update on my CZ Scout;
Dropped it off at the 'smith to have a 1" rubber pad installed and a trigger job. Longer LOP will work even better for me.
Can't WAIT to get it back! (grin)
Forgot to add; I put a 4X Leupold rimfire scope on mine.

I have looked at the CZ Scout many times wanting to buy one. I just never got past the handling stage. I also like the way they point for a handy little woods rifle. I got a Henry Mare's Leg which is even smaller... techically a handgun, but certainly an interesting field gun.
