Treat yourself to a light weight suppressor and run some Wolf Match ammo through it. You will be amazed with the quietness, much quieter than a pellet gun. Mine has claimed a large pile of head-shot squirrels.
I bought a CZ452-2E like yours when they first were released. I did upgrade mine with a Timney trigger kit. I have a Leupold VXII 3x9 EFR scope that has close range parallex adjustment and a .22 suppressor.
I have a large pile of guns but this little jewel stays in the front of the safe. It is my first recommendation to anyone wanting a .22 rifle.
I used to shoot bolt-action .22s as a kid and a buddy of mine picked up a CZ a few years back to relive the memories. It’s everything I could want in a gun like this. If my kids ever get interested in shooting, I’ll get them a Scout!
Super sweet rifle! I didn’t have the coin for the 452 at the time, so I went with the poor man’s version:
Savage Mark II FV-SR
I hope to get a 452 in the future. Do yourself a favor and get the Silencerco SS Sparrow suppressor. I did a ton of research on my 2nd .22LR can and the SS Sparrow is head & shoulders above the rest!
I had LH 452’s in 17 HMR and .22lr. Both had excellent triggers and accuracy, though I sometimes had feed issues with the mags. In the end I standardized on my 10/22’s as I didn’t need a bolt action 22 that much. But I still like the CZ’s as a great option for an affordable .22 bolt action when you don’t want to go higher-end like Anschutz.
congats on the 452, cz makes some fine quality accurate .22s. be careful for some people they end up buying more than one. i have a 28" ultra lux and 452FS.
This is excellent advice. All I clean is the chamber and bolt face until accuracy drops off. Your zero might shift after a thorough cleaning, but usually it returns to zero after firing fouling shots. After cleaning, I fire at least 20 fouling shots before shooting a match.
