Picked up a new cz455 synthetic this afternoon. First impressions apart from the stock being a bit hollow (which i knew before buying it and can easily be sorted) I'm very please at the price.

The bolt was a tiny bit rough and the trigger a little heavy and a bit of creep. I've now stripped and cleaned it, not to much gunk and no swarf in it which was better than the T bolt i had, I've adjusted the trigger its now lovely no creep and about 2 1/2lbs pull and given the bolt a bit of a work out it all feels good.

The only problems I've now got are 1. I'm working tomorrow so can't try it out 2. one of the ten round magazines I got with it is no good and 3 the moderator has the wrong pitch thread so it will mean a trip back to the shop.

I bought a 455 a few weeks ago and its the first bolt rifle I've owned and I thought the bolt felt a bit rough, What did you do to you're bolt? I also have a trigger spring kit to fit when I have 10 minutes spare.

I just stripped and clean the gun including the bolt re-oiled it all then sat watching telly operating the blot, after every couple of minute i cleaned and oiled the bolt and action it started to feel better very quickly.

I would,nt say the stock is hollow, as mine broke in half, and definitely not hollow.

Mine is defiantly hollow! not that that is a problem in its self, its just that its a bit like a drum if you knock it. but i have a plan to sort that out.

Right this is what i bought a CZ 455 American synthetic in .22lr plus 2 x 10 round magazines and a SAK moderator.

As said before one of the mags was no good and the mod was the wrong thread. The shop changed them no problem.

 

 

Fitted a bipod and a 3-9x40

I've just put a few rounds through it, not zeroed properly yet but got 15 shots in a 40mm circle

at about 35 yards and 13 where within about 25mm with rws, not too bad when leaning on a fence post being buffeted by the wind and an inquisitive bullock.

Well I gave the rws subsonic hp another go this afternoon and the winchester super x. 5 shot groups at 50yds, the best i could do with a strong cross wind was 45mm with the rws and 20mm with the winchesters. managed a 35mm group 8 shot group at 75 yards, and bagged a couple of rabbits on the walk back :)

I'll see what other make are about and try a couple more

All in all very pleased with the gun.
