I need to stop going to gun shops too!

Post by Elk Creek »

I slid into the shop before heading to work to have a “free” cup of coffee…. It’s an expensive cup of joe. There in the incoming trades rack was a CZ452 varmint in 22lr! Damn, just damn. Mine, dibs, hands off effers! Oh that wood! I love these rifles, I have yet to find one that doesn’t shoot really well! Oh well start the layaway machine!

Nice rifle. I'd like to find a nice sporter weight bolt action 22LR. Not so much for me, but I have 2 grandsons. I have a few 22LR's, but the lighter weight rifles are autos. I think bolt actions build better marksman in youngsters.

A good bolt action 22 will make you giggle when you shoot…..

The 452s I've been around have been some of the most accurate "off the shelf" 22s around
GREAT find

Savage makes a great little bolt gun, they also have a model that comes with a target receiver sight.

That is a beautiful rifle.....and that wood!

What's up with the recoil pad on a 22? Is it there to increase the LOP?

Haven’t a clue, the other CZ’s I have are a hard plastic.
The 457 MTR has a rubber pad too. Must be a varmint variant thing. It is factory.

It's a traction thing to keep it from squirming around on your shoulder. My 28" 452 Ultra Lux has one - anchors nicely. One HELL of a good offhand gun.
WWJMBD?

I believe we should stand on Ceremony. . . while our friends handcuff the sanctimonious little prick and take him away.

My 452 American has the same rubber pad. A stupid accurate gun with just about anything I’ve fed her.
