Tom Robinson Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 has anybody had any problems with a cz 452 in 22. cal and what do people think of them for a first rifle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver_fox Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Hi, I've got a CZ 452 Style .22 LR on order, I chose this after having tried one that a friend has. I was very impressed with how well balanced it is, even with an SAK mod on the front of a 20" barrel, and how natural it is to point. He did advise that I avoid the 16" barrel because he had heard that they tend to burn out mods (not sure how true this anecdote is) and they do cost an extra £40.00 for 4" less length. I've also ordered a CZ 527 Varmint Laminated stock .223 with T8 mod after having tried one of these as well. HTH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codling99 Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 ive got the 452 ,like the one in pic above,brill rifle.only problems i had with mine is,front swivel attachment fell out,and theres no thread left in hole to put it back(luckily caught the gun before it hit floor) ,and it can be fussy with ammo,winchesters stick in mine when fired,cci s work briliantly.wooden stock would get rid of problem with swivel mind.

Dead-Eyed Duck Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Excellent choice there - best value for money that there is. I've had two in my time and not been disappointed with either of them. You'll have to pay a lot more money to get a gun that's effectively more accurate. Eley subsonics were the best round in both.

silver_fox Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Hi, I was quoted £239.00 for the 452 which comes screw cut and £496.00 for the 527 + £60.00 for screwcutting (luckily Edgar Bros had one in stock which had just been screw cut) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckytrigger Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 452's are great rifles imho. Eley subs were very good through mine. I had the synth stock version which was great for field shooting. No worrying about scratching the stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silver_fox Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 They're not threaded at the factory, but the importers (Edgar Bros) send off batches of them for threading in this country. This adds £60 - £70 to the price. It's worth calling Edgar Bros and seeing if they've got the model you want threaded. If they haven't, then it's a 4 - 6 week wait.

Dunkield Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 I have a .22 in 20" style (and coincidently a 527 as well) if I was buying another one tomorrow I would go for the 16" version and i would be tempted by the ABS/Blue version. The nickel is fine but it can glint in the lamp so I have wrapped cammo tape round mine, I probably wouldn't have had to do that witht he blue version. I worked out last night my 452 shot over 200 rounds on Sunday and didn't miss a beat, good, cheap and accurate rifles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
