I just purchased the CZ452 .22LR Varmint and am extremly pleased with it.
Out of the box it is a very accurate and easy shooter.
The only problems i had with it is the scratchy bolt action and the trigger movement, in which both were fixed with slight mods.
First i polished the bolt. I used just plain polish. Then i sanded the groove where the sear rides to make it smooth.
Then i filed the sear end that controls bolt movement. (The end that sticks up into the bottom of the bolt) It had some sharp edges with small burs.
Then the receiver was polished on the inside where the bolt slides. I used a fine grit polish and a drill with a M16/AR15 chamber brush.
Next, the trigger spring was replaced with an Ace Hardware spring. I forget the stock #. But, it's about the same size as the original and not as strong. My trigger is about 1# maybe 1 1/2#'s.
Luckily, the creep on mine was minimal and i didn't have to adjust that.
I took it to the range and shot it last week.
At 100 yards, a SUB 1" group was standard with .4" with 1 flyer being the best. The dot is a 1/2" dot.
Right now i have a cheap Tasco 8-32x44 mil dot scope on it. It works.
The CZ452 Varmint .17 will be my next purchase.
