Got the new CZ 527 Varmint in .223 to go with the CZ 452 Varmint in 17 HMR. The 452, of course, is the same as the 453, except the CZ 452 does not have the single set trigger. So, instead, I lightened the trigger spring on the 452 and saved $100.
I made a heads up comparison on the Lyman trigger pull gauge and here are the numbers. The CZ-452V now pulls 1# 3.2oz and the CZ-527V pulls 1# 4.4oz. IMHO, the 452 with the light trigger spring is a nicer trigger than the single set trigger.
Perhaps 1# 3oz is not the trigger most would choose for hunting, and as with all triggers, the primary safety mechanism is still between your ears. But for target shooting off the bench with a bolt action rifle, I think I will prefer the lightened trigger pull on the CZ-452V to the single set on th CZ-527V. I will have to see if my opinion changes after a few hundred rounds, when the single set trigger has been broken in. But the bottom line is both are very nice triggers.
PS: the trigger on my CZ-634 is lighter than either the 452 or the 527 -- about 8 oz.
