dogfox Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 As the title states im stuck for choice between the CZ 452 american or the silhouette, i like the look of the wood but i also like the look of the silhouette! im just wondering about your personal pro's and cons of each of these models, im going up to my RFD on friday to put a deposit on one as they are finally in stock. all input is appreciated. regards, DF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trussman Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 The CZ synthetic stocks look a little crappy TBH. The wood on the CZs I've seen have all been really good. Besides, scratches add character to a stock. If it was a full-bore I'd say syntheic, but seeing as it's a rimfire Wood's the way to go.

dogfox Posted January 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 ok thanks for the advice mate, this has swayed me in the direction of the American Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Plastic everytime, I don't like CZ wooden stocks much, especially the hogs back ones I don't know what they are called but if you want a shooting tool get the black barrel'd one with the plastic stock in 16" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The silhoette (sp?) is the one you're talking about I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sapper063 Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 i use a CZ synthetic 22lr 16 ins barrel mamba scope very lightweight and sturdy very low maintenance wipe and put away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 I like the wood myself. The hogs back stock isn't that nice, but then the American range doesn't have that style anyway. Plastic looks naff. It is good if you want functional, but it looks terrible IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogfox Posted January 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 i agree with njc on that one, i hate the hogs back thing on the Lux model and thats why i went to another RFD as the other one didnt have anything else!, im definatly going for the American or varmint, it depends which is in stock.

njc110381 Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Don't go for the varmint. It's a heavy gun and there's no real need for it for .22lr ranges. Just the standard sporter profile is what you need, especially if you plan to carry it around your ground for any period of time. I have the sporter version of the HMR, with the 16" barrel. It will shoot penny sized groups every time at 100 yards, which is all factory ammo will allow anyway. The short barrel is very good for use in confined spaces, and with a .22 all the powder is burnt in the first foot of barrel anyway Get a 16" sporter barrel if you can. It's better to wait for one to come in than rush and buy the first you see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
