CZ will be here in 4 days and no 22LR ammo to be found.
I'll be yelling Bang! Bang! for awhile I guess.

Wait and feed it good ammo when it becomes available. Break her in right!

Eley Tenex or Federal Bulk ... what difference does it make in "breaking it in"??
get whatever lead boolit you can find and shoot til Wolf MT, CCI-SV or Eley Target become available ... one of these three will make her sing.

In spite of a good cleaning, mine took a couple hundred rounds before it came around and started to shoot well. Be prepared for that. Don't get excited if it seems to shoot poorly at first, it'll come around.

I ordered a new in box 452, it will be in mon. It's a thumbhole varmint model. Looking forward to taking it to the range. All i have are some CCI mini mags. Any of you guys use them in your CZs?

Good advice...I have about a brick of Federal and Remington bullets left that were sitting in the garage. I will use them to breakin the barrel and then buy the good stuff

Flat nose should be decent and have little meat damage. If they're as accurate in your rifle as they are in my Ruger, head shots at 50 yards should not be only doable, but the order of the day.
Good luck!

I remember one devoted old squirrel hunter that used a Savage/Anshutz 54 Sporter and nothing but Eley Tenex. Head shots were his norm.

I've been wanting a CZ also - but I may just put it off and get a Beeman R-9 pellet rifle - I have a few areas to shoot chuck in that a pellet rifle is just the ticket and there are still get pellets on the shelves.

My 452 likes Fed bulk pack from Wally world, and CCI Mini Mags about equally well, haven't found any really BAD shooting ammo in it yet. I don't understand not being able to find .22 ammo...the hardware store in town here has a couple cases of Remington(the only .22 they handle), and no big sales rush on it.

It must be a regional thing. I'm seeing most stores in my area with well stocked 22LR selection.
