New rimfire CZ 455

[ElevenBravo]

Bought the Mrs. a CZ 455 for an anniversary gift as she mentioned she wanted a squirrel gun. The rifle comes with barrels for 22LR and 17 HMR, and a barrel switch takes about 2 minutes to do. Also put a Leupold scope on it to go with the classic rifle lines and walnut stock.

We went to the range, a nice afternoon. Not too hot, not too cool. I also brought the modded 10/22 that I built for my nephew. After burning through a couple hundred rounds of 22, I swapped out barrels between target resets and set it up for 17HMR. Definitely shoots better than .22, but I think it may be that we weren't shooting "quality" ammo.

Anyone notice that Eley ammo smells weird when fired?

Should work for a squirrel.

CZ makes some nice rifles. Does it have their set trigger?

Very nice rifle.
CZ makes great firearms.

BTW, what gun shop is that? Looks well stocked.

Good deal.
I'd like one of those myself.

No set trigger. The 453 has it, this is a 455. The trigger could use a bit of work. Maybe a trigger job once everything is broken in.

Do a search on Rimfire Central for the "YoDave trigger kit". If you want a step up from that get the DIP adjustable sear and spring kit. The sear is a pain in the butt to install but once it's in it's a great trigger.

Make sure you try SK Standard Plus (or Rifle Match), Eley Target (or Club), and RWS Target Rifle (or Rifle Match). If you discover which brand it likes best then you can move up the quality ladder within that brand to find your price/performance best value.

Congratulations on the fine rifle and scope.

Tried the Eley Target ammo. Shot OK, but regular CCI seems to suit it better. The Eley ammo smells weird.

Congrats on the buy! The fit, finish, and accuracy on their 455/452 series really can't be beat, at least not until you start paying 3x more for an Anschutz. I had a 455 ultralux and should have never sold it! Might need to get another...
