Hi all!

Currently have a canadian edition 22wmr 455 and love it ! I had a really nice 452 varmint but didnt needed it as I dont target shoot and found it bulky for the field.

Now looking to get the american in 452 but noticed I can get the beech wood only and not walnut like in the USA but the 455 does come with the walnut.. :(

So now Im kinda lost in to which one to get as I do prefer walnut but the 452 does have 2 lugs..

Any help to decide ?

Thanks
 
The American in the beech stock is likely among the last new 452 A's that are available. It seems CZ has not shipped any newly-made CZ 452 Americans in beech or walnut to the New World for a while. You will be able to buy a new 455 A in walnut for years to come. You can't say that about the beech stocked 452 American.
 
how does one tell the difference between the 2 woods?

what is this one?
its my 452 Varmint, i have no idea the differences between woods.

I sold my 455 American in 22lr about 2 years ago and wanted to replace with a 452 American in walnut. I did what Ben has suggested. It took me about 6 months to find one that was bnib/unshot so be patient. Nothing wrong with the beech version either; I find that CZ beech is more ding resistant than walnut.
I have had more luck with 452s than 455s so I wouldn't buy or recommend another 455 regardless how CZUB dresses them up.

I ordered a 452 American in beech wood and now have a problem with finding a good scope and rings.

I am now not sure whether the dovetail is 11 mm or 3/8" since it is a 452 American?

Looking for a scope that is not too big and heavy since I plan to use both for target and hunting.

Scope recommendation very much welcome and where to buy along with rings if known? Thanks.
 
The 452 American has 3/8" dovetail grooves. Warne 7.3/22 rings are good and come in high and medium and won't break the bank at about $36. Other choices include Burris, Leupold, Talley etc. A scope with an adjustable objective is desirable. For hunting and target a variable scope that goes up to 12 to 16 magnification might be considered. What is your budget, scope-wise?

Thanks Grauhanen, 12 to 16 scope with AO that is not heavy would be great. I don't have a set budget but hope to find something that is not very expensive and can be obtained (ITAR). Looking forward for your recommendations.

Sorry for the late reply...

Mine have the polished received.
It now wear a hot blued/machined trigger guard and it it was expensive as #### but it looks awesome !
It is also fully upgrated with DIP parts, Yodave trigger, etc...

I really like this rifle. this winter I will be looking to find a nice gloss scope and rings combo.

interesting that every model seems to flip flow in the sizes of dovetail.

I was reading various postings on forums and many got it wrong for the 452 American.

Now I am thinking about a Leupold VX1 3-9x40 or a VX1 4-12x40 or a Vortex 3-7X32 Crossfire ... and I would prefer walnut stock but none to be had up here.
