452 American vs 455 American value?

[Graysgt]

Is a 452 American SR worth any more than a 455 American SR?  What is the main difference in the two?

Thanks

They are not making the 452 anymore.  That may attribute to a price difference.  With the 455, you can switch barrels and change calibers.

I would rather have the 452, but that is just me.

The 455 is an easier to machine (less expensive) design which sacrifices a second bolt lug, among other things.  To facilitate the interchangeable barrels and cartridges, the action, magazine well and ejection ports are longer. 
The 452 was a classic, and solid, design derived from the old BRNO rimfires, and the 'American' model usually had very nice polished bluing.  My preference is for the 452 & 453 models as well, although the 455 is still a good gun, in my opinion it's just not as good.

Nothing.  Just send it to me and I will dispose of it for you...........

The 452 should bring more than the 455.  But, in my opinion, it is worth more.

Did you find one somewhere?

They are going for around $100 more than the 455 American around here.
