Fun new rifle CZ 452

[dmaxfireman]

I have a 452 Ultra Lux and its an absolute tack driver! And with the extra long barrel it's extremely quiet.

Super sweet rifle! I didn't have the coin for the 452 at the time, so I went with the poor man's version:

Savage Mark II FV-SR


I hope to get a 452 in the future. Do yourself a favor and get the Silencerco SS Sparrow suppressor. I did a ton of research on my 2nd .22LR can and the SS Sparrow is head & shoulders above the rest!

If my kids ever get interested in shooting, I'll get them a Scout!

A Steyr Scout right?

I had LH 452's in 17 HMR and .22lr. Both had excellent triggers and accuracy, though I sometimes had feed issues with the mags. In the end I standardized on my 10/22's as I didn't need a bolt action 22 that much. But I still like the CZ's as a great option for an affordable .22 bolt action when you don't want to go higher-end like Anschutz.

Also interesting is the new switch-barrel 455.

congats on the 452, cz makes some fine quality accurate .22s. be careful for some people they end up buying more than one. i have a 28" ultra lux and 452FS.

The barrels benefit from break in. After you fire 500-600 rounds through it, you should see the shot groups improve.

Is it even possible to wear out a .22 barrel? Let alone break one in? haha

Another thing to do is not clean the barrel unless accuracy has really declined.

This is excellent advice. All I clean is the chamber and bolt face until accuracy drops off. Your zero might shift after a thorough cleaning, but usually it returns to zero after firing fouling shots. After cleaning, I fire at least 20 fouling shots before shooting a match.

Oh I never go into a match with a clean barrel. Bad idea!
