CZ American 452s and 453s are getting very rare in .22 Magnum and .22 Long Rifle...still seems to be a supply around in .17 HMR. Price wise, for a nice one, 452 Americans seem to bring a minimum of $400 up to in the $525 area. The 453 with the set trigger are very rare and will bring $475+.
452 Ultra Lux with 12X Weaver scope...
Four rounds to the right are sighters, then moved the POI left, fired one shot and then right 1 MOA...
American with 4.5-14 Leupold.
Bottom group is with this rifle. The top group was with a freind 452 Varmint that prompted me to buy a 453 Varmint.

Best value in a .22 bolt gun...they are also the least ammo sensitive I have ever seen or shot.
