I haven't shot it yet. As soon as I get some rings on it and a Bushnell 4200 4-16, or a Nikon Monarch 5.5-16, I'll let you know. It is my first CZ. I bought the 452 varmint because, I liked the heavier target crowned and recessed barrel, and I noticed it was all steel - something kinda rare nowadays in new production rifle at that price. Also, I thought quality of workmanship for a rifle in that price range wasn't too darn shabby. A little old world mixed in with the new.
I have a Ruger .17, and it is gonna be kinda neat to compare one against the other.
