I see on other forums about CZ 452,453, and 455 rimfires that some people regularly pillar and glass bed their rifles. I'm wondering how many shooters of CZ rimfires in Canada pillar and/or glass bed their rifles. If you are a CZ rifle shooter, or if you are using another brand of rimfire, are you using pillars and/or glass bedding? Do you find that accuracy is good without these modifications -- or do you feel they are necessary?

I've got 4 CZ rimfires, I'm happy with the accuracy of 3 of them. I'd like to pillar and marine tex bed the 452 .22WMR to see if it smartens up as it is bad with all ammo except one. Perhaps one rainy weekend I'll bed them all and see how they come around, bedding is always a good way to improve accuracy.
 
curious as to if it would make a difference on my 452 Varmint, heavy barrel, but its pretty good as it is and I don't want to frig it up. I could see it getting worse.

I'd do it if I knew it would get better.
 
It's nice, would probably tighten up groups slightly at 100 yards with my 452 Varmint, although I'm getting close to 1/2 MOA with RWS R100 right now, and the trigger could (and probably should) be lightened.
 
My Savage tr is getting glass beded as I find the soft wood in the Boyds PV to be partially at fault. I have a new CZ 452 Varmint on the way and a yo dave trigger kit coming as well,hopefully it needs nothing. My savage BV laminate stock is much harder than the Boyds PV stock on the TR and shoots tighter 50 yd groups.Del @ Delselins says thats probably why.
 
I have 3 CZs, a rem 541T and 2 annies. Nothing done to them, each moa or better. The 3 CZ and one annie like 38 AE, the rem likes yellow jackets and the last annie likes cci.
I do bed/pillar other rifles
 
I have a 452 style that shoots under .4 @ 50m with CCI Ar Tac and the Aguila red box. It's completely stock, so yeah not needed although it would be fun to see what a trigger mod and some pillars and bedding and fancy ammo would do.
 
I had two 455s and they both required pillars and epoxy bedding to shoot consistently under MOA.
My 452 American in 22 LR absolutely required pillars and epoxy bedding. The accuracy improvement after bedding was remarkable. I also pillar bedded the front barrel lug on my 452 Silhouette which is probably the most accurate CZ rimfire I have ever owned. My 452 Scout is pillar bedded also, just because the action felt little flimsy and I enjoy the work. My 452 FS shoots remarkably well "as is from the factory", no bedding/pillars required.
 
That's good to know I have pillars on my CZ455 and did improve the accuracy
Going to Marine-tex bed it this winter hopefully and see if that improves accuracy or not
Rifle can still shoot better than I can
 
On every .22 that I bedded and pillared, I have seen an improvement in the groupings.
Both at 50m and at 100m.
All of my .22 are bedded and pillared, except for my lever action, they just put a smile on my face, the way they are.
It is worth your time to improve your .22,s by ether bedding, pillaring or cleaning up the trigger movement.
You can buy accuracy or you can work on it and make it yourself.

I'm thinking about pillaring and bedding some of my CZ's. I have one that is pillared and glass bedded and it shoots wonderfully. Trigger work is relatively easy with CZ 452 and 455 rifles. A lighter spring reduces trigger pull weight. For shooting off a rest a stock with a wider forearm can be helpful.
This is a Boyds Pro Varmint walnut stock that just came in for my 452 American.

 
If you are experienced with bedding and feel comfortable doing it, you can go ahead.

For a CZ 452 / CZ 455, they shoot so well stock you won't notice much of a difference.
 
I use a thin piece of leather to insulate the action from the wood, and where the action screw ( I use only one) tightens against the stock I make a small leather washer, so there is a layer of leather in all contact areas, My CZ, is almost as accurate as my Anschutz Target using these cheap, simple and quick mods.
