Nice ! can,t wait to try mine...
Is the barrel free-floated on your rifle ?
Beautiful rifle !!! I would love to have one to go along my 595 master Sporter.
Thanks, fellas. This 452 American barrel is almost free floating with the front-most part of the barrel channel barely touching the barrel. I've had some that weren't close.
Beginning on Tuesday last week when the range first opened, I went with a different rifle each day. I think the practice helped as my best results were yesterday with this CZ, which seemed less fussy about ammo than the others.

It's been over a month since this thread's been bumped. A lot of shooters may have been kept from their ranges because of the Covid19 shutdown. My range opened this week, as did other ranges in Ontario. I hope if there's a second wave it won't be so bad as to shut them down again.
To the business at hand. I bought this 2005-manufactured CZ 452 American over the winter. It doesn't look like it's seen much action. I've always thought the 452 Americans were fine looking sporter rifles. This one shoots too. I used a Harris bipod as it seemed a good match for the lightweight rifle.
The distance was 57 yards. The scope is a Weaver V24. SK Rifle Match was the ammo.
From left to right: .357, .362, .363, .451, and .343". Average size: .375".
The smallest groups today was .197".
Great shooting. Thanks for the bump. I added you to the successful list.
I bought a 1974-made Anschutz 1407 this past winter. I changed the stock for a more bench-friendly one that I bought specifically for the barreled action. I put a scope on it that just arrived last week. Yesterday I took it to the range for the first time. Unfortunately the ammo I tried didn't produce the results I was hoping for, so today I took with me a couple of different lots of the same variety of ammo. The results were a little better.

One more, Rod, and I probably won't bother you for a while.
The CZ 457 MTR intrigued me because of its "match" chamber. I was also interested in the new receiver, bolt, and trigger. Furthermore, I was interested because it's a model with which it's possible to easily change the barrel. Perhaps I'll have more on that later. In any case, this MTR is stock, except for a trigger spring change to lighten the trigger pull. The target isn't as nice as my previous one, but this is a CZ with a factory barrel.

My MTR has the 20" barrel. I'm used to .22 rimfire rifles with longer barrels.
A Ballistic app is OK to use.
