How is the wood on most of the 452s?
Well, the recent CZ Americans - from.about 2010 onward - are stocked with American black walnut. The quality is about like that of a Ruger m77 or Hawkeye. Not fancy wood ,but some grain and color and all heartwood. My 2016 American is a handsome looking rifle and fits right in with my older Winchesters, Brownings etc.
They are just about the nicest walnut stocks of any rifle for under $500 these days...
