Scope for a CZ 452

Scope, meh, lots will do.

Rings, different story. Burris sig Zee was what worked correctly for me. Of course, I took them off when I put o my BRNO match sights.

Don't forget, if its like mine, its a metric dovetail.

I always forget about the Muellor 8-32x40 with the target dot from amazon.ca..........for the price of it it's a decent scope, I bought one just to see what all the hype was about and I can tell you from first hand experience as a entry level scope that tracks well and is bright and clear you can't go wrong with this scope.....

i recommended this scope to 2 others locally here, with the promise that if they weren't happy I'd buy the scope for what it cost them landed on their doorstep........to date I have not had to buck up....

that 30mm tube is a very nice addition, and with the SII sightrons drying up this is a very decent alternative at the old sightron price of about $340.oo to your door

Well, that is about the most sensible post I have read. Last night I tried a 6-24 on my JW15 (just because I had it) way overkill; big, heavy, and even 6 X is too much for short range; and the rifle won't shoot far enough to any good at the ranges you can see at 24 X.

put a better rifle under that scope, on good clear conditions we're shooting MOA out at 300 yards with a 22 rimfire
 
For target shooting a .22 at 50 yards the least magnification id use to print targets with is about 16-18x... I call BS on target shooting any kind of consistent tight precision groups at 50 or 100 with a 3-7 or 3-9..

Bench rest or gophers what's the main reason for the rifle, I know the cz varmint is a heavy barrel but does the cz make a bench rest .22.

Funny you brought it up I had the same experience and use it today on my other CZ 455 it is very clear and I like it a lot
 
Nikon prostaff rimfire 4-12 and Nikon rimfire 3-9 AO efr are also good choices. I have both on my CZ's. Using a bipod either will do .5" or less at 50 yards.

With my CZ's the Burris high deluxe steel rings works great with 40mm objective. Just enough clearance to put lense covers on and clear the bolt handle.
 
Leupold VX-2 3-9X33 Rimfire EFR setup makes for an excellent all round package capable of target shooting and hunting.

I've got one of these on my 455 American, great little scope.
I doubt you'd get a new one under $600 though, Leupold is expensive but worth every penny IMO.
For the OPs intended use, which includes target shooting at 100 yards or beyond, I personally need at least 18X. Old eyes.

Old eyes or not, you can't hit what you can't see. For target shooting there is every reason to get the most magnification you can.

I agree, even with a larger target you can't tell exactly where the crosshairs are sitting if you can't see the target clearly.
The unmentioned advantage to higher mag scopes (clear ones in particular) is that you don't need a spotting scope to see your bullet holes. At 18X, I can clearly see .22 holes at 100 yards, although on a black background it's not as easy.
There's a marked difference between what I call "cheap magnification" and "clear magnification". I can buy a 6-18 cheapy scope for under $200, but I often can't see sh#t through it at higher mag settings, which is the whole idea to begin with.
After a few days of eyestrain and frustration, the extra $ to get something top quality seems like a drop in the bucket. Plus, every scope that top shelf manufacturer makes is a consistent product, you're not "hoping to get a good one".
The rule of thumb "expect to pay what you paid for your rifle" isn't accurate (pardon the pun) IMO when it comes to target scopes. I expect to budget 1.5 to 2 times the rifle cost. I'm talking CZ here, not Anschutz.
I certainly don't regret dropping what I did on a 6-18 Leupold for my Varmint, if anything I should have gone higher for more power, but it's fine for what I do with it.
The 3-9 is probably going to be for sale soon, it doesn't get used much. Great scope just the same though, sharp and clear with the flexibility AO provides for close range shooting.
