Just Sharing Some CZ452 Style love...

Got this one from Wanstalls about 4 or 5 years ago. It is my most accurate bolt action CZ. I wish I bought 2 or 3 when they were still available in the stores. Great rifles.

Beautiful!
Care to share what scope and rings you have on it.
 
Nice looking rifle, Kody.. I've got a question for you though. How is the eye relief with that scope on the 452 in the synthetic stock?
The reason I'm asking is I have the same scope on a 455 American and I find I have to move my head further forward than I prefer.
I've got my front ring as far ahead as it will go on the scope, the back of the ring is actually hanging over the ejection port in fact.

p.s. I'm using the same Warne rings.

I have the same dilemma with this set up. I naturally shoot with my head fairly forwards, but I still wish I could move the scope about 1/2 in backwards. I no longer have my 455 American, but the 452 American that this scope came from has about 1/2 in shorter LOP than the Silhouette so the shorter eye relief of this scope isn’t noticeable. I am thinking about moving my VX2 6-18 AO scope back onto the Silhouette as it is a better fit for this rifle and put the 3-9 x 33 back onto the 452 American. I like to mount my scope fairly low, but with this stock I had to go a little higher to get a comfortable cheek weld. I have tried a couple of rings on this rifle and the Warne seemed to give me the proper height I was looking for.

Thanks! I don't notice it as much shooting prone, different head position. I use it mostly on F-class small bore rifle for shooting indoors over the winter months.
 
I have a 452 style in 22 lr. wears a 4-12x42 Nikon monarch bdc. love the gun I will never sell it. very accurate and very light. the stock is very good quality, soild with no flex. I have 2 other 452s, but the action on my style is just way smoother. I often cycle it with one finger. im glad I bought one while they were still available.

I've had good luck with BKL rings on my CZs when eye relief presented a problem. Here are a couple of options;

Dip rail will fix that problem

The offset rings are probably my best solution, I've used them before on a different rifle/scope combination. I don't want to go any higher with the scope than I have to. It looks like there's enough room to mount the ring with the base in front under the objective bell.

Thanks!
 
Good suggestion 22LRGUY. Using the BKL offset ring in the front, facing backwards, will move the scope closer to your eye. I have a set of BKL 257 rings that work well but are too high for what I need. I wish they made the 200 series about 0.5 high, that would be just perfect. I might get a set anyway, just to try it out.

I've posted this one before, but this was my 452 Style in a wood stock from another 452 Varmint. I liked the nickel/wood combo. Many flying rats met their demise on account of this one.

This "was" my 452 Style????

I'd have never let a beauty like that slip away!

No worries Kody. These rings have gotten me out of a few jams when mounting optics. Most recently, on the Marlin 917 heavy barrel. A couple of crappy photos of the rifle here... Mind the gopher-guts. :)

My nephew putting a serious smack-down on gophers. Some people like me had to work allot of years to be half-decent shot. This kid is a natural!
