CZ-452 Military Trainer

[P-990]

I have the 455 which i really like, it looks quite similar to yours. I wonder what the difference is.

I believe the biggest difference is the 455 action uses a press fit barrel versus the threaded fit for the 452s. The 455 also uses one receiver for all calibers. CZ offers the 455 in a switch barrel option from the factory; the ones I've seen first-hand have been in .22LR with a .17 HMR barrel included.

The Training Rifle/Lux/Ultra Lux stock style looks great to me. Perfectly shaped for iron sight shooting.

 

[22-rimfire]

I have one of the CZ 452 trainers. Looks just like yours. Bought it specifically to shoot it with irons as it has the best factory iron sights on a 22 rifle that I am aware of. It does just fine, but I am no iron sight shooter.

I also don't think this model was ever used as a military trainer. That does not make it a bad rifle however. It's a great rifle. With the long barrel, it is very good for low noise shooting applications.
