Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires CZ 455?

Good point. You can see the pics at DIP. Doesn't extend past the 5-shot mag. It seems like just long enough to be "right". Plus they machined it to fit the aluminum mag well perfect.

Yes. That does look serviceable. I'll add it to the cart.

I have a question I bought a CZ 455 combo model 17 hmr/22 the spacer block was missing and cross pin to change magazines so I got online and purchased a threaded 22 barrel with clip and was suppose to have the spacer block and cross pin but was missing in the new kit also is the new 22 barrel a drop in conversion or does it need to be fitted ? I have a couple Cz's in 17 mach 2 but this 455 is a newby for me .Any info would be helpful.

Call CZ and complain.

When I bought a 455 and later a .22 LR conversion, the instructions said the headspace had to be checked and the barrel adjusted if necessary. I was ticked, but when I contacted CZ USA, they said not to worry, it would be fine. By the time they got back to me, I had already shot it.

I did have some feeding issues with the LR, which could probably have been fixed by shifting the mag well around a bit, but by that time I decided the switch-barrel concept was over-rated. I sold it and bought a 453 in LR.

Thanks for the info I think I can trade this one for a 453 mach 2 but don't know if I need a third one as I have 2 now that are tackdrivers.

The Mach 2 is very cool if you can find ammo.

I'm good to go on the Mach 2 ammo I was a ammo horder before ammo hordering was cool.

Travis...your can in yet???

CZs are scary accurate for the price.

My all time favorite .22 rifle, and I've owned close to a 100, is the 452 American with the short 17" threaded barrel. It's accurate even with bulk ammo and just "handy" with the short barrel.



50 yard groups...the bottom right was 100 and the one pull was my fault....



Those were with Winchester Super-X. Now shooting CCI Green Tag and it is so quiet with the TS AXIOM one can shoot it indoors without hearing protection...

I don't think mine will be ready until about March.

Here's the follow up on the missing block and cross pin on the 455 combo called CZ said they would drop one in the mail excellent customer service.Also picked up a straggler box of 17 mach 2 ammo today.

Love my 455. Dropped a DIP sear and spring in it. It's awesome.

It's my squirrel gun. Shoot Eley SS's for hunting. Nasty little accurate round. $12 though. I shoot a lot of HV/SV at the range and usually prints 1" low compared to the SS.

Love my 455. Shoot just as good as slg's cooper. Definitely a yo Dave kit, metal mag well, and extended mag release. Mine feeds great with plastic and metal mags. The best ammo through it has been Norma tac, with cci sv, and eley subsonic hollow points very close 2nd place tie. The switch barrel works great, but my 17hmr barrel is a little picky. Hates vmax, but loves tnt and gamepoint. The 17 also doesn't feed as great as 22lr but feeds good enough. Very accurate gun. The only complaint is bolt throw is way to high and buying rings can be a ordeal at times due to this. I am going to have mine machined and cerakote to solve the problem.

Ah, yes CZ's .
Their motto should be " The Best Quality the Czechs can Muster"
I have a few of these....
Love to buy a new rifle and rebuild it.
Like after market Chevy parts.
I can't find all my rimfires..........

Mine shot just fine factory, the other stuff just makes a really good rimfire even better. for the price it's very hard to compete with or beat a cz rimfire.

I have owned a pile of CZ 452/455's and everyone functioned flawlessly, (something i cant say about some much higher priced bolt action rimfires I've owned in the past) Many guy's will profess to the CZ's "tack driving" accuracy well that it is a matter of what your definition of "tack driving" accuracy is, the dozen or so CZ rimfires I have owned were all acceptably accurate but none were My definintion of "tack drivers"........For the money there is no better value in a bolt action rimfire rifle and that is pretty high praise.........Hb

This Euro-trash may change my view on Euro-trash....

Can is ready so I decided I should get my B-day gift ready as well.

DIP parts added along with a 6X42 and M1's. Some bulk packed Winchester's and I was moving forward.



100yd zero looked good, and things only got better from there....



Fuggin' thing is ridiculous and flipping soup cans @ 200yds was easy.

Have a bunch of good .22's, but the CZ is my favorite of all.. Never thought anything would eke out my old Marlin 39A..

I can't wait to get the can on it.

I tried some Remington Thunderschits and they had the exact same POI and grouped the same as well.

Gotta get out and kill something with it this weekend.
