cz452 varmint 16 inch .22lr

[kenny14 656]

I've got the 452 silhouette in .22, fitted with a sak moderator, and find it light, quiet, and very accurate.

I have one, and I love it.

 

I went for the Varmint, as I started out in target shooting, so I tend to prefer heavier rifles, even if I have to carry them.

 

Trigger was a bit agricultural, but soon fixed with a Brooks trigger kit, WELL worth the money!! Trigger is LOVELY now!!

 

 

 

 

I have a Hawke 6x42 (can't stand zooms), SAK moderator, Harris bipod, and an olde worlde leather sling.

 

Suits me.

 

HTH,

Effortless.

Why the american?

 

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.

for some reason mine says American Varmint on it ,with a nice bit of wood on it ? anyway as far as weight goes i dont think there all that bad as my eight yr old carries mine around all day

I put another one in for the American. Got it when I first got my FAC and love it. got a trigger kit too and it's topped with a whitetail classic which is a great scope. got that seond-hand off E-bay and well pleased with it.

 

Best of luck pal

I have a .22lr and a 17hmr both CZ American. Like others have said, get trigger kits, makes the world of difference.

Use one in 17HMR cracking rifle.

Got a £10 trigger kit from Rimfire Magic very easy quick change and crisps it up no end!!

sorry if this is just a load of rubbish but reading around (I'm just getting to know my facts on the FAC side of thingsbefore hopefully applying for my license at some point) I thoght that if you had a heavy barreled version if you end up firing a few shots quickly then the barrel doesnt heat up and lose accuracy? or doest it really matter on a 22lr?

[masmiffy 82]

Sure there is some logic or reason behind the heavy barrel theory.

Cant say I notice the change in accuracy in the American, when rabbit shooting its often quite a few rounds rapid if there is a lot about!

Some may say the heavy barrel on the Varmint makes for a 'steadier' gun.

yeah I can see that if you are always shooting off a bipod also I guess some of it comes down to personal preferance really
