I bought a CZ 452 American the other day. I wanted something which felt similar to my 700 Mountain Rifle, so the American has a very similar profile.
I topped it with an Elite 3200 5-15 X 40 AO, again similar to the Elite 4200 on my BG rifle.
I purchased 1 box of about 10 different kinds of ammo, and have had it at the range twice now.
I must say that the difference in how ammo shoots from this rifle is surprising. I've had 50m 5 shot groups ranging from 5" (Win Wildcats), 4 1/2" (American Eagle) down to roughly 1" (Federal Gold Medal, CCI Green Tag and CCI SV).
The rounds this rifle likes the best seem to be CCI Mini-Mag, Federal Game Shock and Remington Game Loads. I get 50m 5 shot groups all touching inside about 1/2" with all of these, time after time. They do shoot to a different POI though.
There are still numerous loads I haven't tried yet...
All in all I'm hugely pleased with this rifle. It gives me lots of cheap practice with a gun feeling very similar to my BG rifle, and is the most accurate firearm I've shot or owned for sure.
