Any idea on pricing and who to go to for a barrel replacement on my cz 452? Wondering if it would be worth it to have a 16" stainless heavy barrel installed :)
 
Out of curiosity what is the reason you would like to re barrel? My 452 is an absolute tack driver and other then bench rest shooting I can't see how a new barrel would make a huge difference unless you have a bad one. But if it's a case of just wanting to do it because you can I wont argue with you lol!
 
Oh ya know just cuz i like the idea of heavy 16" stainless barrel on it lol. It shoots great as it is I mean amazing actually. Maybe I shouldn't mess that up lol
 
Well if you install a match grade barrel with a match chamber for a bolt action it will shoot even better... the commercial bolt action chambers are too sloppy for best accuracy.

I saved a heavy barrel off a CZ while re barreling it.. and then installed that CZ barrel on my 77-22 with the old chamber cut off and re chambered with a match reamer... and it shoots better than it ever did...

Does the Match .22LR chamber accept most ammunition? Or is some difficult to chamber?

depends on the match reamer, a eley match reamer is pretty tight for the rim thickness of lapua ammo, closing the bolt can be a challenge on some rounds, that's if they chamber far enough.

All ammunition will fit but the bolt closes firmly at the least... a LR bullet always engages the rifling. Extractors have to be carefully fitted in order to extract a live round...
 
Hey...... enough about my rifle..... LOL.....

Nothing that you did Dennis. Maybe the stock was designed that way. One side of the forend was thicker tan the other. I did not like that so I had it put on a milling machine and recontoured. It does shoot very well though with the Benchmark reverse taper barrel.
 
I believe your reamer is a Lapua Match reamer. Lapua closes much tighter than I would like for a bench rifle. I bought some Eley and closes more to the liking. There is slight resistance not like Lapua.

I should have saved some of my 5 shot groups from this past summer.

Just not quite as tight though as my Feinwerkbau that I have..... just to find the right stock to put the barreled action into..... it would look SWEET in a Scarborough......

Maybe time to place an order for one.

that sounds like a eley match chamber, lapua is tight to close the bolt on in both my swindlehursts, they were both done with a eley match reamer and both rifles shoot the eley much better then the lapua, minus tennex, the lube builds up so fast I can shoot 7 rounds and then not close the bolt on the 8th
