...and it was hard to put it down and walk away from. 
I held a CZ International...

I think she'd be a lucky daughter if she got a CZ 453 American as a gift. I have a 452 American in 22LR and its a terrific shooting gun. It will consistently shoot under 0.5" at 50 yards with American Eagle hollow points. Only thing I've done to the gun was cut a coil or two off the trigger spring and polish the bolt so it slid with less effort. The 453 has a set trigger, so that you click it forward and then it is set to a lighter trigger weight. The stocks always look like nicer wood at the CZ website on the 453's, not sure if they are in fact a higher grade. Someone who's a CZ expert might chime in if there are any other significant differences between 452 and 453. Perhaps the bedding screws? I know the varmint has a different bedding screw system.

the majority of CZ rimfire's run about $600...that's what the International was selling for. I'd actually seriously consider buying it...if it wasn't for the fact that my 30.06 only cost me $445. why would I spend more on a rifle I'd only plink with?!?

Because you'd shoot more with it?

My thoughts exactly. I spend more hours shooting the 22 than anything else, and it pays to have one you enjoy and are proud of.

Exactly, my .22 lr's would be the last to go. Having a good 22 in the safe may be more important than any other single rifle. We have a lot of clients that agree and that's why they buy CZ's, Anschutz, and Cooper 22's from us. Easiest rifle to sell is a 22 lr.Because you'd shoot more with it?

Not to mention the cheapest rifle to feed as well.
Ah the Full Stock as most folks refer to them as. I have one and it is a fantastic shooter. Some folks think that Full stocks are not that accurate, a myth broken by CZ. FS
Currently my two favourite calibers are .22LR and .308. I really enjoy shooting .22 whether it's fast action plinking or bench style informal target shooting. It's great fun, and excellent practice. Plus you can still shoot indoors when it's -40.
Luv my CZ452 and I got a leftie. Reliable in Vancouver didnt have to order one in for me-they had one coming in for stock! Geez imagine that. Everyone that works there has a CZ. I liked it so much I bought a CZ527 in 223 a year later. A bit more than I wanted to spend but nobody else could come up with what I wanted in less than 6 months. That MiniMauser sure is sweet to shoot and both rifles are the same weight. That was a surprise. The quality is there. Delightful rifles both and keepers for sure.
