Saw a CZ 455 .22lr for sale at a local shop, but I can't identify the model. Doesn't look like anything I can find online. It looks like a Trainer, but doesn't have a schnabel forend. Looks similar to a Scout, but it has a full size stock and full length barrel. No checkering on the stock. Any ideas?

There's a "Standard" model, that was imported AFTER the 457 was introduced, that might be what you saw. There's one at a local shop that has been calling to me every time I visit the place. It has a "hogback" beechwood stock, iron sights, and overall, is a pretty decent rifle. (the one at the LGS has had a trigger job, and feels REALLY good. I'm already CZ-poor, or I'd probably have snagged it up by now. I just can't justify an eighth CZ rimfire rifle, although I already have a spare scope sitting in rings waiting for something to put it on.

You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.

That's an outstanding price, if you want it, better snag it up quick.

Buy that gun!

The Standard is a Lux with a basic beech stock instead of checkered walnut. Mine is an outstanding shooter. I'd say I got lucky but I hear of others having the same luck.

Just swap the stock, if you can negotiate you can probably save a few bucks too.

Nice! How's it shoot?

I'm still contemplating going back and buying the one I posted about. I kick myself because when I first saw it a month or so ago they had all rimfires $30.00 off. I was in AR buying mode so didn't pay much attention to it until recently.

It's usable as is.
But could use a trigger kit (Yodave?)

Less than 200 rounds through it.
Blazer seems decent enough. Likes SK rifle better.

I don't think it's up to the hype yet, maybe when it gets a few more down the pipe.

Looks OK, but seems off in feel. Maybe wrist thicker than I like, I dunno.

Chitcanned the factory swivels and studs, swapped to Uncle Mikes stuff.
Polished the bolt a little.

Waputi, you're already getting a CZ at a deep discount on that rifle.

Mannlicher can attest to how my 452 American shoots..

Not very picky about ammo and throws them in the same hole.

Trigger job usually needed. That is about the 'only' downside to a CZ as I see it, if you can even consider it that.


Slaves get what they need. Free men get what they want.

Rehabilitation is way overrated.

It's still there, but I'm tapped for a bit. Bought a couple of AR's over the last few weeks (Noveske and RRA, great deals on both). Between that and buying a couple of scopes and mounts for them, I gotta rebuild my stash.

Like the humpback stock for looks, but the wood seems soft, got 2 safe dings.
Kinda pissed me off.
So got a synthetic American style stock coming.
Wish they did a synth w the humpback.

Man, I know this is an old post but I hope GW bought that gun. It should be an excellent shooter. Possibly as good as mine is and I paid $400+tax for mine, the only differencce being the stock. At least put some money down on it to hold it!

Happy 4th everybody!

I'm surprised the beechwood stock seems soft, it's actually a much better stock wood than walnut, more stable and maybe a bit lighter, besides. Everywhere but the US seems to like it better than walnut, too. I have three of the beech stocks on some of my rifles, and I like it better than the synthetics.

I like the beech for looks/wood plus the euro hogback profile.
But the American synth stock I just got has the proper comb height for scope usage.

Just swapped em over. Sucks for looks though.

Would prefer a rubber pad vs plastic, and a nicer grip cap, like one from a Rem 1100 LOL. Grey diamond not white though.

Picked up two bricks of the new Rem LR subsonic.
See if it likes em.
