You're right, I used incorrect terminology. Thank you for catching that.

CZ-452 Military Trainer?

My understanding is that very similar rifles had been used for military training and target purposes in Soviet Countries. I once saw a mil-surp rifle that was made by CZ's sister company BRNO, which was exactly like that one. It had a bunch of European markings from a military or police function of some sort. I have also seen a Russian .22 training rifle that was very similar.

The CZ 455 isn't a "trainer" as was the CZ452.

I hadn't noticed that change but supercub99 is correct,,,
I hadn't noticed that nomenclature change,,,
But supercub99 is correct.
The 452 was called: "Special Military Trainer"
The 455 is called: "Training Rifle"
I wonder why they decided to change the name?

The box my rifle came in says otherwise. You may wanna call CZ and tell them they're wrong.

The CZ 452 was called a Military Trainer. The CZ 455 is called a Training rifle. Some folks are a bit sensitive to that depending on which one they have. I don't care about those things, but point it out to avoid confusion as it does seem to generate it. It's kind of like the Remington 1903, 1903A3, and what some want to call the 1903 modified. There isn't a modified, it's either stamped an 03 or an A3. There was a transition and some sported characteristics of both, but none the less, it was either or.
Or, you can look at it this way, your model isn't quite out of the potty mode...lol

The CZ 452 Trainer probably has the best factory iron sights on the market. Bought one for precisely the same reason. I always scope my 22's, but I wanted a couple with iron sights. So I did.
I bought it also because they were discontinuing it. I always liked the 452 better than the 453 or 455.
