Title: CZ-452 Military Trainer
Post by: GeneticallySwiss on March 29, 2013, 07:22:51 PM
Guys,

In something of a miracle, I found and bought, a NIB CZ-452 Military Trainer at the local gun store.  It was the last one as well as the display model.  $358.  I am thrilled and finally can add this to the stable.  A good day all round.

GS, Congrats on your recent Trainer purchase. I also have a recently purchased 452 Trainer 17hmr. Post some pics. Are you going to shoot iron sights or scope?

Here are some photos of my new CZ-452 Military Trainer.

I would like to get her to the range today, we'll see if that works out.  I absolutely love the rifle and honestly thought I had waited too long to find one.  I have been looking for some time.  I am going to shoot iron sights for now.  I may put a scope on one day.

I have a question for you guys.  After further thought, I am considering mounting a fixed four power scope.  It is a Leupold FX-II 4x33, for which I would use the CZ 1" rings/mounts.  If I did this, do you think they would clear the rear iron sights?

If the scope is 11 1/2" or less, it will fit behind the rear sight.

But even if longer, that scope should clear fine with those rings.

Thanks Viking.  I am assuming the CZ rings and mount are a good option?  Yes?

Yes. 

Burris, Warne and a few other also make good rings to for the CZ's.

Here is a good reference......

I have the CZ rings holding a Weaver V-16 on my CZ 452 Varmint. Very nice rings in my opinion.

She is a beauty!  I'm dead set on waiting for the 452 Ultra Lux but sure wish it came in that good ole CZ walnut!

Great price, better gun!

CONGRATS!  I've changed my tune, buddy!  I bought a CZ Trainer for almost exactly what you paid (within 6$US) and pick it up May 2.  Same everything as the UL but the wood and the barrel length.  Thought I'd be a fool to deny myself the 452 b/c of, basically, aesthetics.  It will be my only .22 rifle as I lent my Ruger 10/22 to my brother in New Orleans as he had a raccoon, and decided he could keep it because I long ago decided to be a CZ man.  3 CZ's, a definite 4th in the works and then we'll see what else I can talk myself into!  Wish they'd get in the revolver biz... Big fan of wheel guns...

I am excited.  I just placed an order for a Military Trainer a few minutes ago.  It may even ship today.  (This will be my first truly accurate .22 LR, so I'm pumped!)

If anyone is still looking for a Military Trainer there are 5 remaining in stock at Kesselrings.  I didn't ask today, but last week they also had Scouts in stock.  Don't use the web contact form or email; just call 360-724-3113 and ask for a sales associate.  The price is $349.95.  (They also maintain a well organized waiting/backorder list, in case you want an Ultra Lux.)

Regards,
Andrew

No.  Shipping is approximately $25 (from WA to TX).

Back on topic I picked up a lux used this year and plan on re-finishing it. Just had a Egyptian Manseur (sp) in my hands today and that was a pretty cool gun also. My customer was led to believe it is a export Brno #2, it looks very CZ-ish. I don't think you can go wrong with a Czech designed .22.

Welcome SN! Will look forward to seeing you on the Monthly Match for iron sights. I think there are several trainers shooting.

Thanks Andrew ! I'm new to the sight here but after getting fed up with my 10/22 I decided on a military trainer but boy it is a little tough to come by until I found this thread ! After calling and talking to Melissa at Kesselrings though and $369 later it is on its way to my ffl, ready to put some 22lr down range again now  ;)

You are very welcome Todd.  I was hoping that the information would help someone looking for a CZ rimfire.  I just picked mine up on the way home from work yesterday evening. 

I'm anxious to get it out and shoot it.  I might be able to get to an indoor range this week, but it may be awhile before I can get it out to a full range where I can shoot from positions other than standing.  I'm headed to an Appleseed on the 18th, so maybe there will be an opportunity to shoot it there.  Now I need to decide on sights and optics; but that is another thread...

Trainers are for Irons!
Even older eyes con hit 8" targets at 100 yards with irons - take my word for that!  ;)

Even better, the sights are what drew me too it, i wont be disappointed if i dint need any glass at all ;)

Post by: SerenityNetworks on May 08, 2013, 07:23:05 PM
I'm looking at both irons and optics.  It's in a separate post, but (at this particular moment) I'm thinking it will be the P&J peep replacement for the rear blade and then some quick release setup for the few times I want to use a scope.
