Any suggestions?

How much should I pay?

I have a Leupold Rifleman 4-12x 40mm on my CZ 452 Varmint (.17HMR).

Take a look a the Burris Tactical scopes. Fairly nice scopes for the money.

Check out the Pride-Fowler scopes that are made for .22lr and have a built-in BDC to get you out to 200 yards. These scopes are relatively inexpensive but have great glass and give you a unique and useful reticle calibrated for .22. This is going to be the next scope I purchase.

They have 2 models, a 6x40 fixed, and a 3-9x32 variable. Here's a link to their site, and also a link to one on Midway so you can see ratings and street prices, which seem to hang around $300 for the variable.

.22 Rimfire Scope

I will only suggest what I have personally used.

Bushnell Banner .22 Scopes 4X32 Fixed Power - Decent/ good scope for less than $50.00

Nikon Pro-Staff Fixed 4X32 Fixed Power Scope - Quality Scope, Just over $100.00

I purchased a Satin Pro-Staff 4X32 Scope from SWFA shipped for around $135.00 a couple of years ago. I used it on two different guns and it holds zero well and has clear glass.

If you don't mind spending the money, I have used a friends Leupold Rimfire 3X9 scope and it is very nice. He mounted it on a target rifle and shoots 100 Yards plus with .22LR. For around $300.00 it would be a first-rate scope.

Personally, I think for the money the Nikon would problably serve your needs just as well. I own several Nikon and Leupold Scopes and the glass/ quality is very comparable (similar models). They also make the Pro-Staff model in a variable 3X9 as well.

P.S. I hope you like your CZ. The problem that I encountered with mine was finding the F*^$%#@G Magazines. It took me around 2-3 months to find 5 extra magazines. Also, they cost around $35 for the .22 LR mags when I bought mine.
The plastic ten-rounders were around $10 bucks less.

Thanks for all the help, guys.

I just ordered from Mid-South, the Nikon Prostaff 4 power scope ($95)
a set of high mount 1" rings ($10) (452 owners say high are necessary due to the bolt handle throw)
and
four each, magazines, five round, polymer ($25 each)(ouch!).

Hello there gotM4,

My next CZ is going to be that exact model. The 452 Varmint. I was wondering with that scope and bipod, about how heavy is the rifle? 10 LBS?

What are you thoughts on the .17 HMR? I have shot it in several different rifles, but do not have any extensive experience with the caliber, I am leaning towards the .22lr or the .22 mag for the heavier rounds available.

I used to shoot Jackrabbits with a Marlin .22 WMR and it was a great round out to about 150-200 yards. Have you done any hunting with your .17 HMR?

Thanks, I appreciate any feedback you may have.

P.S. Your rifle is REAL nice.
