      Love this rifle! Bought it a few years ago and this summer I put my AR scope on it. The range was consecutivly shooting clay pigeons at 185 yards! You'de be a fool not to buy this rifle

      Just got my CZ452 two months ago and love it. While it is not quite as accurate as my Savage Mk II Target, I am sure with a little work I can get it to be. It really likes Wolf and Acquila Match ammo.

      I purchased a CZ452 several years ago. I love this rifle very accurate, .375" at 50 yards, with Eley Target or Wolf Match ammo. I did not like the trigger and changed it out to a Timney at 2 lbs. Much better now. Customized it with a laminate thumbhole heavy stock, flanged the magazine well opening and enlarged the magazine release. With its Nikon 6 to 18X scope and bipod I easily shoot to 200 yards accurately.

      CZ-452 Varmint. This is the most accurate .22 rim fire that I have ever fired. It is so smooth and depending what ammo I feed it it is not hard to get one hole groups (if I do my job). Love it and would not sell or trade. Looking to pickup a 455 next. Please keep up the outstanding work, for the quality of this firearm is truly outstanding and I thank you very much. John

    • CZ Varmint .22LR - Added 2 years ago.

      Recently purchased a CZ 452 Varmint in .22LR.Mine loves "Federal Lightning"ammo.I had some "Blaser" ammo that would "tight chamber"so I did not use.I have heard that "CCI Stingers" are not recommended either. Chambers,and bores are extremely tight on these rifles that is why they shoot so well. Mine wiil shoot one ragged hole at 50 yards smaller than a dime(5 shots). At 100 yds.,I can shoot one inch groups depending on the wind.I have owned several CZ's in the past,now I wonder why I sold/traded them. In the future I will expand my battery to include more CZ rifles. Absolutely love every ting about it except the trigger. Pull weight is fine,but there is a tad too much creep for me. The trigger is an easy fix,so I am not concerned. These folks build a quality firearm as is reflected in fit,finish,and accuracy.I am a CZ customer again!

      What an amazing rifle. So accurate that I know it isn't my gun making the mistakes but rather me making the mistakes. Strongly recommended rifle.

      This is my zeroing group I shot this weekend with the 452 Varmint in 22 magnum. I had put a new scope on it and this is a five shot group at 50 yards with Hornady’s V-max load. Those are ½” squares, so it ended up being almost exactly .25”. It’s an awesome rifle. It shoots the CCI TNT load nearly as well and the plain old CCI 40 grain HP load almost as well, too. It doesn’t always shoot .25” but it shoots a lot of .3 and .4” groups at 50.

      I said I would give a report on my new CZ452 Varmint Mach II and I am thrilled with it after the first time shooting it. With two clicks it was right on with tight groups with CCI and Hornady ammo. Ely and Remington did not fair so well. It will soon be my favorite.

      I just purchased my 452 varmint in the 17 Mach II. I feel lucky to have found it, seeing that it is no longer in production. I plan on giving it a test drive tomorrow. I will give an update.

      I have a CZ 527 in the 22 Hornet. I first started reloading for it with Sierra 40gr. varminters.....Today I have been shooting the 30gr Berger's Loaded with 14.2gr. of W296.....Velocity is at 3400 and my groups are right at .544 This is such a fun Rifle to shoot..........I so much enjoy shooting ground squirrels over an alfalfa field. Thanks for going the extra mile and making a great rifle. Greg

      The action and barrel lug have been bedded . Muzzle break , Hawke scope 10-40x 50 , The paint is a purple with a gloss glitter on top done with spray cans [ rattle cans as you call them in the US ]
      I believe this was a BRNO No. 1 stock , it was in a very poor condition when I got it , so not worth restoring . 
      I built the stock for my Partner to use primarily shooting from a bench , her choice of colour .
      CZ  are a superb rifle and have a good following here in the UK . Just wish it was easy to get hold of the metal magazines .
