I had heard the 452 shhot great. I bought one for my son who was taking over my Ruger M77-22. It shoots great but, He Hated the safety being ass backward from American rifles. He bought a Volquartsen and has been very happy. I have considered selling, but it is so accurate. I had a trigger kit put in it and free floated barrel is all that has been done. I never shoot it, but let friends shoot it and family.
I have a lefty 452 American. Never understood the safety problem. I do shoot a lot of 22, and have a fair size collection of them, so I'm used to switching up rifles a lot.
