I love my CZ 452 American

I have a 452 varmint in 17 hmr. Its the most accurate rimfire I have ever shot. No experience with a 22.

the cz 452fs that I have will consistantly shoot cheap ammo under one inch at 50yds....with a good lot..and a bit of consistancy on my part, even tighter groups. I am searching for a cz550fs 308...not found one yet, but I did pick up a cz527fs...223....that is absolutely the tightest grouping rifle.....have had more than one three shot group measure less than a quarter inch at 50 yards... anyone who shoots it will aclaim!!

My 452fs in 22lr shoots quite well. It really is an excellent product, built extremely well.

The only complaint I had was that the nosecap was plastic, as is the magazine. A quick call to CZ USA and $35 later and I had a steel nosecap that went right on without any fitting or gaps.

I love mine.

I bought a CZ 550 FS in 6.5x55. It is as it came from the factory. The rifle looks like it wants to shoot really well. First load I tried was 45.5 IMR 4350 with a 120 Nosler Ballistic Tip, new WW brass, and 210M primer. At 100 yds. it looks pretty good - three 3 shot groups averaged .763", the largest being .772, smallest .720". It is very consistent. The first 2 shots touching each time with the third one a 1/2" or so out to the right. I allowed the barrel to become cold between groups. For the first and second groups, the first 2 shots of each group were .053", .185" and .190" respectively.

I am in the process of getting my CZ 452 Lux back from the guy I sold it to about 5 years ago (hopefully). And his foot dragging is infuriating! Needless to say I love the gun, apparently he does too.

I don't have the full stock but have the lux, american, and youth versions. They all shoot better than I ever could. I don't think you could go wrong with one of their 452s.

I don't know anything about their newer version though.

This is a 17HMR 452. The target was shot at 100M and the squares are 1". The group is "average" for this rifle at these ranges, ~1" if I do my part, the scope is a 2x7

Mine shoots a half inch with Remington Golden Bullet HP's. A tenth better with Wolf MT.

Is that a Leupold on that 452?
I just bought a 452 Special and have a 2X7 Leupold coming, going to pair it with a set of Warne rings.

I had a 527FS in .22 Hornet that I reamed to K-Hornet.
It was accurate but not as accurate as I thought it should be so I sold it.

I have been looking for a 527 LUX Hornet to replace it and this 452 Special passed my way.

I'll post some pics if this thread is still active when I get everything together.

I was going to wander down to my range this weekend and shoot but the weatherman is threatening 6-10" of heavy snow through tomorrow so we'll see what happens.

Yep, a VX-II 1-4x.

ABout how heavy is the manlicher stock?

Would it be comfortable to carry as a woods gun or too heavy and strictly a bench gun?

Bummer, was thinking about picking up that very rifle, chambered for the Hornet no less. What was a typical group?

The 452 is relatively light, 6lb 7oz on my postage scale without the scope. These are intended as heavy use rifles, not bench queens.

I have a full stock in 6.5 swede and it'll print cloverleafs at a hundred yards off a rolled up sleeping bag.

To the best of my knowledge they are all standard length actions (or at least they were), however the short action chamberings use a detachable magazine whereas the others have a hinged floor plate. IMO the floor plate is not only more practical (in a hunting rifle), but also suits the style better...I say go long action. If you must have a .30cal. get the .30-06Spd. (after all, that is what the .308Win. always aspired to be), but the 6.5x55mmSwede would be my first choice.

The 550s are all standard length, the 527 are the short action guns from CZ

MY CZ-550 full stock in 30-06 shoots 1.5 inch groups at 100 yards with most loads. I have managed to get it down to one inch with a couple of hand-loads.
Nothing exceptional, but OK.

In my opinion any sporting rifle that shoots under 2 MOA is pretty exceptional. Maybe that is more a testament to all the 30+ year old sporting rifles I have though...

Then I would say you're fine. ANY CZ (and most any other rifle worth its salt) should be sub-2MOA, despite drawbacks of a Mannlicher style stock.
