CZ Rifles

[NAMVET72]

Just wondering if any of Our Members own of of their Rifles.

1) Quality?
2) Accuracy?

I am eyeing a super nice .22 for my boys first rifle. The sales guy at my LGS says they are very very nice shooting. Accurate as heck out of the box. Now he is a sales person but he only ever has 2 or so in stock because they don't sell very quickly but I am still mulling it over. I have never shot it but it "feels" really nice. I have some time though, he is not quite 2 yet. Need to get my RIA officers first!

I've got a hornet and a .22. The hornet is a tack driver with a set trigger. Haven't shot the .22 enough to give an opinion.

Have the 452 22LR that is a tack driver and the 550 Safari Magnum in 416 Rigby that is a hammer!

My cousin has a CZ455 in 22lLR he wants me to buy, here is what it looks like, he is willing to take payments on it:

Super nice lookng, I love the "safari" looking guns, so exceptional I think! If the payments are right I would run with it...

I have the 452 Ultra Lux 22LR with a Leupold VX-II 3-9x33mm Rimfire EFR scope mounted. This summer, prairie dogs may have reason to be very nervous.

Very nice CZ Clyde but you still need that Garand more than that one!!!:D

[BadOscar]

I have a CZ 452 Varmint. It's a great shooter and the most accurate .22 I own.

That is the newer Mod 455 with full length Mannlicher-style stock that will eventually replace the 452. Suppose to have barrel interchangeability and goes for ~$450+ discounted. GREAT BUY!!

I have a 527 Varmint with laminated stock in .223. I love shooting that gun...high quality, and superb accuracy. It has a single set trigger which can be used either in "normal" or set mode. When set, it's a very crisp, light target trigger. Un-set, it's still a nice four pound trigger.

[herefordman1]

Another ground doggie bit the dust today with the Hornet. That set trigger is great!

I bought a 455 Varmint in 22lr not too long ago and I've been shooting it about every other day for the past month or so. Probably have close to 500 rounds through it.

One thing I dislike about it is the trigger. Pretty terrible in my opinion. It has a ton of creep and is pretty stiff. I ended up ordering a Yodave trigger kit for it, but it hasnt came in yet. Accuracy is so-so, but I'm thinking a lot will improve if I can get the trigger problem corrected.

Another thing I don't care for is that it won't eject shells 100% of the time. When I'm down on the scope, I don't like having to pull my head off to pick a casing out of the action.

And a little thing I don't like is that my factory may doesn't like to feed the last round. The round shoots up too high to hit the chamber. Not a big deal except when I'm trying to shoot for accuracy and I have to look up and take my finger and poke the nose of the round back down to feed.

No CZ rifles, Clyde, but my current project is my first AR style rifle. It is a DPMS Recon...

I hope to buy an Aimpoint Patrol Optic this week and a bipod soon after. In a couple months it will go off to Robar for the new Poly T2 and NP3 Plus treatment...http://robarguns.com/poly_t2.html

I promise no new gun projects this year. I promise no new gun projects this year. I promise no new gun projects this year.....

My name is Joe and I have a gun addiction. :D

what ammo are you using.

[Olympus]

Using Eley Sport.

[Caleb]

Dead thread bump!

Clyde, did you ever end up buying this rifle? I have heard nothing but great reviews for thier quality.

[Grouse]

Using Eley Sport.

interesting. I have not used eley in a few years. I ended up returning my 455 thumbhole varmit to cz. The single set trigger had a recall. The newones did not have as nice of a trigger. I did not have much issues with mine.

Though i did take a 22 cotton brush mop, and smear it with bore paste and clean it out via a power drill. I have found a minute or two of that burnishes the chamber and eases extraction and feeding issues.
