I have really been tickled with the CZ 452 .22 rifles I've picked up in the last two years, a .22 Military Trainer and a 452 American. Super accurate, reliable, high quality, and all at a price you can afford!
Came into a little gun buying money over the holidays, so ordered a CZ 452 FS, a Mannlicher stocked 20" carbine. Picked it up yesterday and spent a pleasant couple of hours today sighting it in, what a shooter! The 20" barrel doesn't give up any accuracy over it's 22" Military Trainer cousin.
I have always wanted a Mannlicher styled rifle, but couldn't afford to buy or feed a centerfire version, so this one is "Right on time"!
Here's some pics:
Rifle:
Target fired this morning, 10 rounds from the prone position at 50 yards, silver dollar shown to illustrate group size:
So, my .22 rifle collection grows, my Smith and Wesson collection has diminished and stabilized to the "Must Haves". Seems all I can afford to shoot these days is .22 ammo, even reloaded ammuniton gets expensive if you shoot 1200 or more rounds a month!
