mikee Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 just picked up my replacement cz452, its got a 22" barrel and with the sako mod its too long for use in a truck out the window so i'm going to get it shortened, how short can i go before accuracy and muzzle velocity are reduced, i was thinking about 14" long, any advise please mikee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 You can chop it down to 14", with no issue. Any shorter than 13" is detrimental. My Anschutz was manufactured with a 14" barrel, and offers faultless accuracy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHunter Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 I agree with Baldrick, my 14" Annie is the bees knees. Not to sure if the Annie and CZ have the same twist rate though which could affect accuracy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 My CZ was the same length as yours, I had it chopped to 14" on the advice of a riflesmith who knows what he is on about. Probably more accurate than it was before and damn sight handier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
