Good Points: I own a 452 american 22lr and a 17hmr 452 varmint. both are incredibly accurate rifles. mine have pretty good trigger pulls right out of the box. the 22 is "minute of a sage rat accurate out to about 130 yards and the 17 shoots far better than I am capable of doing. they are classic and aesthetically pleasing rifles and are priced well below the quality. great value for the money. I've owned a bunch of 22's and 17's and these are far and away the best.
Bad Points: The varmint 452 is a bit heavy but not a big deal in the sage rat fields. Everyone seems quick to judge the cheap and ugly trigger guard and I don't think its fair. seems to be very similar to the classic and much desired winchester model 52. this may be insulting to the pre-64 winchester idol worshipers but the cz 452 is a better rifle all around in my opinion.
General comments: When I finally get grandkids and they are ready for their first rimfire rifles, I am getting them cz products.

Dispite it s handle based looking long, the accuracy still great. The overall quality of this rifle is superb but still would be better with a nice mat finish. Like it better than Ruger.

CZ rimfire rifles are in my opinion built to the old standards of the classic rifles of the 1930s-1950's. Like the old Winchester 52 and 75 models. Maybe even better. Minimal use of plastics (mags) but steel are still available to those who want them.
Fit and finish are on par with rifles costing triple the price of the CZ rifles

This is an heirloom quality rifle at a very reasonable price. almost as good as the anshutz and cooper for much less money. If not for the trigger guard i'd put atleast on par with kimber at less than half the price. definitely supperior to the 77/22, again for less money. I expect the prices of these rifles to double in the next 5 years. the trigger is better than anything else close in price and is very cheap and easy to make it truly match grade.

I have a 17 hmr 16" carbine in Left Hand bolt, my first in this calibre, I thought buy a cheap rifle first, then go on to an Anschutz 1717 if it was any good. Guess what the CZ stays, it's very very accurate, I can hit stones the size of a tennis ball from 155 yards (Laser measured) every time from a bipod. Not possible with .22lr, even a good one like mine.
I do however use a decent scope Leupold VX3 6>20x50 long range target with varmint ret. This rifle is also very handy even with a SAK mody ...

I had never even heard of the CZ line of .22 rifles. I was looking for a bolt action .22 and searched the internet for reviews, comments or anything I could find. The only bad things I read were about the backwards safety and bad trigger pull. When I bought mine I had the trigger tested to see where it was breaking at. It broke cleanly at 2 1/4 pounds out of the box.
I took the new rifle to the range and at 25 yards I had a 5 shot hole. I have never had a .22 do that before. I don't sho ...

I've owned many different rimfire rifles. I've had high end rifles, low end rifles and just about everything in between. And although I still have a diverse collection, the CZs are without a doubt my favorites. They are also the favorites of my wife and kids.

CZ rifles cheap and cheerful perhaps but can outclass much more expensive rifles.

If your looking for a .22lr rifle, this is the one to buy value for money, accuracy and build, they are bomb proof. I regularly take rabbits at 100+ yards with sub ammo, and you just can't miss.

All I can say, I know the CZ 452 American is not the first thing that comes to mind when you talk guns with other people. This gun is very well made and it comes with a factory target when you buy it of a 5 shot group a 50 meters. Mygrouping is the size of a dime from the factory, and with Match grade ammo it shoots better. Good luck guys save your money and buy one you will be happy.

I bought a CZ 452 American in .22 LR two years ago. Unlike many current American rim-fire rifles, the CZ is all steel and wood. The extractor and ejector are steel, not sheet metal. The stock is walnut, not walnut finished hardwood. The CZ452 series is built for discerning gun buyers.
I now own 11 CZ 452 series rifles in calibers .17HMR, .17Mach2, .22LR, and .22Magnum. I shoot six inch clay pigeons set at 125 to 200 yards with the .17 and .22 magnum rifles. When I miss, it is my fa ...

The CZ ZKM 452 American .22 LR Gun is pure QUALITY.
If you are looking for the most accurate, dependable bolt-action .22, the 452 American is your answer!
Just ask the CZ folks at Rimfirecentral.com. You'll only hear positive comments about this high quality precision rifle.
A 0.5" group at 50 yards is not a problem for the 452 American. If you just try a little, you can almost always produce sub 0.5" groups.
At 100 yards, 1" groups are easily achieved. I've seen numerous 0.5" groups at 100 ...
