Cz/ Brno rim fire purchase

Well 1 CZ down. I bought a CZ 452 Classic of a member here. Just waiting for it to be shipped.
Now I'm looking at another 452 in varmit with a walnut stock, no scope just the rail. Forget the name of the rail.
Another is a 455 synthetic with a vortex 4x12 scope, muzzle break or what ever it is that CZ has . Both guns are $700 each. The 452 varmit has the yodave trigger job.
There is also a used 457 lux with a nice walnut stock, also $700 just not sure what they are like using a scope on. My eyes are past using open sights.

The 457 and 455 are from dealers and the 452 is private sale. So taxes I guess on 2.
Plus I am still on the fence about the original options. Kinda would like to get a Brno #2 or #5.
I haven't bought any powder burners in years, been on a high power air rifle kick for a few years. I figure after 12 of them it's time to try something else.
I have a 4 air rifles I need to sell and one 30-06 to sell. They will fund at least 2 of the cz rifles.

Two or three times a month the Brno No.2 or No.5 show up in the EE as well.
You might keep an eye out to add to your collection.
They would fit in with your current CZ's showing the progression of said firearms.
There is a 22WM American Varminter in the EE I am slightly peeked about, but the guy is not interested in shipping .
So, the itch still continues to be a slight annoyance.
 
I came across quite a few guns and the owners was not interested in shipping.
Same issues I run into with guys and chainsaws. I dabble in porting cylinders and rebuilding older husqvarna saws. I even tell them and show several shipping labels about the cost and they are not interested in shipping.

I have a line on a few brno #2's and a #5. They are a bit rough wood wise. Some have surface rust and I've never had luck with cold bluing a whole rifle. No one close to me that does hot bluing either.

Grab them if the price is right; you would be surprised what a bit of oil and some bronze wool will do for an old gun.

They are $550 and up . Cheapest is a model 2 E-H at $450 with the hog back stock. Not sure if that's a fair price for them or not. Actually waiting to get some clear pictures but it's seems to take several days for the company to return emails.
 
Just to follow up…
Personally I would go with the CZ rifle you just purchased for the field and pick up an Anschutz rifle for the bench instead of several CZ rifles. Perhaps a 1416 HB or a 1761 MSR.
As I said I bought mine for the bench but had I done more research I probably would have gone with the 1416. Although if collecting appeals to you have at it. Enjoy yourself! I certainly have more than a handful of rimfires. At some point I could see returning my varmint back to its regular stock and putting a smaller scope on it. I am finding sitting at the bench by myself with it challenging but a little dull at times and frustrating when the wind picks up.
I know a few people into air rifles if you wanna send me a PM.
