I think Dirtfarmer nailed it with "entry level high end" about the 455's. And the horoscope thing.

Here's the CZ 2500 in brown instead of red and with a Timney. Notice the different trigger profile, CZ vs. Timney.

The more I see of it, the more I like it. That looks like a pretty sweet piece.

I got tired of the red, IMO brown looks better.

I traded for it, already wearing that paint, But, the factory dull birch stock was so ugly the red looked pretty good. The guy at a gun show had this one, his personal gun, had several new in the box. After looking at them I took this one. He had also tweaked the trigger. It was pretty good, the Timney is better.

I also glass bedded and free floated it.

That long barrel is a hoot, for sure. It has heavy, military type sights. I removed the rear sight assembly to clear the scope.

It balances pretty well, is definitely a shooter.

DF, if you don't mind me asking what did that Timney set you back?

Shop around on the internet, EBay, Midway. Sometimes you can find a better than average deal.

Didn't read all 8 pages... but presently I've got three CZ 452's (had 3 or 4 others over time) and one Ruger American (had an unthreaded version in the past).

The CZ's are nice, accurate, the triggers need work, something You can do on the cheap or else buy a new sear or a complete trigger. The magazines, especially the metal ones are excellent (better than most). I dislike their fire to the rear safety, but have gotten used to it,

The Ruger American; Very close but not quite as accurate as the CZ's. I actually like the stock for offhand shooting, well thought out even though it does not compare to a nice wood stock. Big Plus is that it uses 10-22 (including the 25 rounders) or 77-22 magazines which are affordable and everywhere, also they are flush fitting unlike CZ's. If the stock puts You off, Ruger just came out with a 'target' version with a laminated wood stock and a heavier barrel profile (0.835" or thereabouts).
