    With Wolf ammo, shoots 1/2" 50 yd groups all day. Hates Remington ammo. On the same day, from a bench, 2" groups at same 50 yd range. Always a flier or two with every group with the Remington that I don't see with the Wolf ammo. But the rifle comes up and points naturally, is graceful with great lines. Again, best part is it's a great shooter. Standard open "battle" sight is actually accurate to 200 yards although it's really a stretch for a .22. With no wind, you'll hit clays at 200 yards pretty consistently. I have 14 firearms, when I go to the range this one comes out of the safe about 90% of the time. Buy one. You'll just love it.

    I own this CZ 452 American .22 LR rifle and love it. The rifle prefers certain brands of ammo, both for accuracy and reliable feeding. The best ammo for target shooting is Federal GOLD Solid points or the cheaper PMC SCORE MASTER solid points. I get best results from the SCORE MASTER ammo. I only use sub-sonic ammo in mine cause I want the barrel to last forever. I can shoot 0.5 inch - 1.25 inch groups all day long in calm weather.

    And I have a cheap Chinese CZ 452 American .22 LR at one third of the price. Nothing fancy ,just dead accurate and an ideal tool for someone who has worked 30yrs in full-time pest control................

    I have a CZ 452 Lux and a Varment, both are in 22LR. The CZ is a lot of gun for the money. I have had problems with ejection on the Lux not kicking the empty out, causeing me to diggig it out with my finger before chambering the next round. Both are great shooters and will group under half an inch with Wolf Target ammo.

    I have the CZ 452 American .22 LR 16" synthetic stock.
    Used in my rabbit control business and its worth its weight in gold.
    I can only say its the best thing I own for reliability and making me easy money.
    Sax mod and a simple hawke 4x16x50 scope to top it off.
    Superb bit of kit !

    absolutley superb rifle i have owned for around a year now and i have no complaints accuracy is second to none,incredible value
    also i bought a trigger kit,and wow,it was good a standard but adding this simple kit has made a good trigger great,added to that a sak moderator and using subsonics,its even quieter than my air rifle which is also moderated,this is basicly my favorite rifle and i have many.no alloy reciever,all steel construction as well this is not a crappy rimfire like so many.

    The CZ 452 American .22 LR is the most accurate .22 ever!! I can shoot 6 shots, five and one in the chamber at a shotgun shell over 25 yard and hit it every time or a dong at 300 yards away. It is made after the k-98 mauser. Very smooth accurate nice wood and beautiful

    I bought the silhouette version of the CZ 452 American .22 LR, synthetic stock 16" barrel.

    I have fitted a Walther 4-12 x 50 scope (v cheap @ £70). Having zeroed the rifle at 60m, I took a hare, head shot at 120m using rws subsonic. Thoroughly impressed with the accuracy and handling.

    The CZ 452 American .22 LR is one the best riffle on the market, at a pretty price.
    It's coming for Czechoslovakia, or ex-Serbia I believe, hence the loading which is based on Mauser model, German type.
    The visor is based on Mauser I think, but that might be presumption, anyway the accuracy is unbelievable, at 50m, you'll get your point in the black.


    Anyone looking for a 22 riffle, should seriously consider CZ as a first option, quality compare to price is unbelievable.
    I'm coming form France ...

    This is no doubt the most accurate out of the box rifle that I have ever fired. I have shot competition large bore but it has gotten to expensive. 22lr is my answer to affordable shooting. If you are looking for an affordable, high quality rifle make sure you look at the CZ line. Ask around and you will find that they have top notch reputation.

    The CZ 452 American air rifle is very well priced and well made for the money, good value. The only bad point is the 5 shot plastic mag. The air rifle is accurate, reliable and its shots are low cost and groups well

    A very good rifle, well worth the money. I have one of these rifles and it is one of the most best rimfires i have bought. It is light ane very easy to use and a good killing riffle if you know what you are doing. I have only one bad point about the CZ 452 AQmerican air rifle that is the mag it looks untidy it would look alot better if it was built into the rifle.

    The CZ 452 American air rifle is a really good gun for beginners to intermediate shooters. There are no open sights but its light, accurate and very easy to handle.
    A great allround air rifle.

    The weight is perfect. I couldn't believe the beautiful piece of walnut they used to manufacture this stock. Scope mounting was a cinch. I fired 10 rds. Through it and had it zeroed perfectly at 50 yds - you could lay a quarter over the group. I mounted a varmint scope on it and you can drive box nails with this combo. I was shocked that CZ made such a fine left handed rifle.
