Happened into a CZ452 Lux rifle recently. Actually, I bought it from a friend who is big into rimfire bench rest shooting. It was his "plinking" rifle, as opposed to one of his match rifles.
I mounted a Weaver T-36 target scope I had (waiting for a good home) on it.....and went to work.
What a joy to shoot ! Darned little rifle shoots like a laser. With CCI standard velocity 40 grain, it will easily do 1/2" groups at 100 yards. Better than that, if I really try hard. Stupid rifle actually shoots better, with the ammo I have tried so far, with NO barrel tuning weights, either. That makes life easy !
My friend and I shot about 500 rounds the other day, on a variety of targets. Paper targets, the little 2" diameter clay pigeons tossed out on the 100 yard berm, empty paint cans, crackers, etc. etc. We spent lots of time shooting the little orange CHIPS left over after breaking up all of the little clay birds, as well as spinning and bouncing the paint cans at will.
Dagnabbit, what fun !! Haven't had that much fun shooting for quite a while.
I have been assembling a collection of various brands and types of standard velocity target ammo to try in it, to see what shoots best. Norma, Federal, Eley, Lapua, etc. etc.
Going to the (indoor) range for a careful ammo test tomorrow night.
If the CZ does as well as I hope it might, I may just have to start shooting the local bench rest matches with it !
Ahhh, life is good !
