target scope for a cz 452?

[paradox998]

Based on some great advice from the experts here I just ordered a cz 452 training rifle (.22, bolt action). I next want to buy a target scope for the rifle. My budget is up to $200, but would be happy to spend less. I primarily will be target shooting at up to 100 yards. As always advice is appreciated.

bushnell 4-12 got mounted cause it was handy. angling for a Leupold 2-7 or 3-9 ( around $200 on sale)
rear sight & scope clearance is real tight....had to remove it. mount is european cut...standard american rings are not a good fit. check out ebrooks for rings & trigger kit. a 2 cent washer will float the barrel . some don't like when you say it shoots as well as a kimber rifle.....but it ain't bragging when it is true. good luck.

A Mueller APV with BKL 257 rings is a classic setup for the 452s.

Will the Mueller on BKL257's clear the rear sight or do you need to remove it?

At $115-$120, I've been pretty pleased with the Busnell Banner 6-18x50mm with AO for a cheap target scope.

Get a Mueller APV.

For 115 shipped, you can't beat that.

Sightron SII series are awesome value.

Why didnt you get the 452 American if youre going to scope it?

american stock shaped different from european--might be the fit or the 'look'. non-standard rings dont cost more but they are gun specific such that if you ever sell/trade the cz you would include them in the deal.

I considered buying an American or even the silloette (sp) version. I did not want to give up irn sights. I figured I could always add a scope, not not iron sights. I went with the trainer with the beech stock because I did not want to worry about nicks and scratches on a nice walnut stock.

The CZ 452 American comes clean - no open sights. The Mueller APV 4.5-14x40 AO is a terrific way to go.

No, the pic is not reversed; that's a left handed CZ 452 American

I just ordered the CZ 452 American. After much research, I went with the Mueller APV on a set of Warne 7.3 Extra high rings from brownells.

I hope these rings work well, I have not received them or the rifle yet. I am worried because im unable to join rimfirecentral and preform any searches. Hopefully I made the right rings decision. I could not find any BKL 257's in stock. As far as the scope, all I hear is praise so I'm sure that was a good choice.

Fella's;

I've got a CZ452 LHB American also. It wears a Nikon Monarch 3.3-10X A/O mil-dot in Talley rings. I bought when scope when they were on close-out. Even so, it was above the stated budget range. But damn!! that's good glass.

Paradox, within your budget I'll suggest looking at the Bushnell Legend 5-15X A/O mil-dot. They are usually available from the usual suspects at around $170.00 - $180.00.

It’s been years since I’ve scoped a 452 with irons but I don’t recall any sight problems with the 257s. Get the APV and do some measurements, the 257s can be ordered in a taller mount version:

If all else fails you can use them on the American or Varmint you’ll be buying.

(CZs are addictive…)

Here's my 452 trainer with a 2.5x scope that I use for Silhouette years ago... I think it is either 100m, or 100yds. It has been awhile since I shot in one. This is with a Beeman medium ring-set.

I since replace the 2.5x with a 4x20. Sorry, I don't have a picture of the new one.
