Hi all was wondering if any users have this particular rifle as im thinking about getting one. Whats it like accuracy, weight, trigger etc etc. Many thanks

They are a good rifle , I have had one, the trigger can be heavy but with a bit of work I got mine to be much lighter and crisp and shoot better, but there are no adjustments on this trigger . My Cz was every bit a shooter as the Sako Finfire that I have now . They are a simple rifle with not a lot to go wrong that shoot well and are fairly cheap I would have another if I needed one. My rifle had also been cut down and still shot well.

I've got one as well mate can't fault it's accuracy out to 75yards it would probably do more with some more practice but I won't shoot quarry any further than 75yards with it and that would be on a still day! The trigger is the only gripe I have as it is heavy but there are cheap kits which are meant to be fantastic but I haven't got around to getting one yet. On the whole though it's a cracking little rifle not too heavy and with a mod on relatively quiet.

Great rifles, you can get a trigger kit here http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=rimfiremagic&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CCAQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.rimfiremagic.co.uk%2F&ei=eDW9Toj0Ao-w8QO_4qyGBA&usg=AFQjCNEnjfBnbQrahOnyF9C2AeHnlgea3Q for around £14.

Hi;

There's nothing to touch the CZ series out there (for the money), I've had two down the years, and if it wasn't for the 'rules' I would have kept them.

The 16" barrel is just fine, I had a 16" 17HMR American and it was excellent. As has been said an Eric Brooks ('Rimfire Magic') trigger kit fixes the

'tractor' trigger, (By the way it's just a set of springs and a roll pin spacers, you pick the one's you want, and if you can wire a plug you can fit it yourself).

I have a Finnfire Varmint these days and it is easily the best Rimfire I have ever used, but the CZ is so close you won't notice, and the Rabbits won't either!

Why do you need a heavy barreled gun in a .22lr.. The americans are lighter all round and narrower profile, I have both and I'd rather the american over the varmint any day.

Get an american rather than the varmint..

+1 from me - the varmint barrel is the only one that is supposed to be fully floating and can have intermittent accuracy issues because of this. I speak from (slightly) bitter experience.

The American I tried belonging to a friend had no such probs.

Incidentally, the trigger is adjustable.

I adjusted mine and improved it immensely.

 

Cheers

I went for the american over varmint. Lighter and narrower, i have it in17 hmr and would never sell it.

I have also had the trigger done, it is a must. With the wildcat mod it only adds 2 inch to the barrel length which keeps it balanced

Cheers guys a complete eye opener.

Another vote for the CZ452 American. I have two of them, a 17HMR and a .22LR, both with 16 inch barrels. A friend had a Varmint version of the 22LR but found it too heavy to cart around for hours at a time and he changed it for the American version after he tried mine. I would still fit a sling though!
