CZ 452 Lux

Great open sights rifle. The hogsback stock shape is intended to make it a bit easier to line your head/eyes up with open sights. This also can make it a poor choice for using with a scope, unless you're a pretty tall guy. It usually makes the scope height too great, with the stock shaped as it is. Other than the stock it is very similar to any other CZ, as they're all basically the same.

+1 To what Shorty said, great field gun.
You can mount a scope, but the cut of the stock and the base of the rear site make eye relief and scope placement a challenge but not impossible. Mine wore a 6-24x50 Tasco target scope in Burris quick release rings on weaver to 11mm dovetail bases and that combination worked very, very well. You can also mount peep sites on the tangent site or on the dovetail.
There's a CZ452 Lux for sale in the EE right now.....

That Euro stock weirded me out so I went with the American as I planned to scope it anyways and it was available in a left hand at the time. Sold a 1022 to buy this and no going back. Damn thing is a tack driver. Taking it out for grouse and wabbits this fall. Fine action on them-happy shooting.
Personally I really like the euro style stock. Mine's in .22WMR and wears a 3-9X40 VX11, mounting was very easy. Has about the thickness of a dollar bill between the scope bell and the barrel and shoots as well as my wife's .17HMR bull barreled Savage, maybe better. Sub half inch 100 yard 5-shot groups and I took a big timber wolf with it at a bit over 100 yds, 34 gr Win Supreme, two shots - they were less than an inch apart and one would have been enough. A great little rifle and the beauty of the CZ is in the action and the trigger. Action uses real double lugs, like a big gun, and the trigger came in at 3.5 lbs, crisp and creep free. I don't know how much you'd have to spend to better it, but it would definitely be in the four figures. Terrific wood to boot - great walnut (Turkish probably?) - and a joy to own and shoot
