Survey - help me with a decision on a CZ

Thanks for the advice, I6Turbo & CB900! Very much appreciated!

You can also take at look at the offerings at Boyd's (http://www.boydsgunstocks.com/).

The CZ USA site (https://shop.cz-usa.com/cz-products/rifles/stocks/rimfire) appears to be using some Boyds designs.

Ide take a 52 if you can get it, the 55 barrel idea is stupid, and locking lugs are a good thing.

You can't go wrong with a CZ 452. Outstanding and accurate rifle that's a lot of fun to shoot.

I have several of both, and both are very accurate. If you want a 452 you should go ahead and get it since they said several years ago they were out of production There are still plenty to buy. The 455 will be around for a long time. The good thing is you can have 3 barrels with one rifle. I have .22's and .17's both very accurate.

Fella's;

I will say that with the advent of the CZ 452 Grand Finale, I sincerely do think that the end of that line has been reached. Yes, for some relatively short time you'll be able to find an NIB 452 though probably at a premium price. There are at this time still new 452's available from outfits like Whittaker's and Bud's, but they aren't under $400.00 any more. For that you'd have to scour the earth to find the small LGS that just wants to get rid of it & good luck with that. For the next couple of years maybe the left handed 452's will be easier to find, but that well will run dry too. I think all the LH 452's have been made, it's just a matter of time & sales volume before the last NIB of those is gone also.

I vote 452 American , just a nice .22 rifle with a great reputation for accuracy . The wood on mine is just beautiful .

My 452 arrived early this week, and I had time to get it to the range (indoor, 25 yard max) today. My oldest went along. We actually had a good day with 22's - she has a Henry, and I took along a Remington 552 as well. The CZ is stunningly accurate, even with open sights. The center red area of the target is about 2 inches in diameter, and the worst shot (we ran about 20 rounds through it) missed that by less than 1/2 inch (that was us - not the gun). The vast majority of the rounds hit in a group about an inch tall and 1/2 inch wide. I really wanted (and still do) the open sights, but I have to confess that a tip-off scope may be under consideration. All in all, very happy.
