    Have its predecessors, 2 Brnos' and after all these years still very accurate and reliable. Any one I know who has a CZ .22 is extremely happy with it, great gun.

    Just be careful as the Lux has a low stock for the iron sights that come on it. Your cheek will be low when a scope is used. Great rifle by the way.

    As ruger says, 22LR isn't really recommended for fox, but grand for the rest.

    The 452 is a staple and for good reason - very good rifles.

    similar to the magnum, between 14-18 depending on brand and dealer.

    The magnum is on the way up a lot over the years since its becoming more rare and sits on the shelves longer, I think here its heading in the same direction as the hornet, .22-250 and swift.

    I have one of these rifles in .22lr. I love it. Very accurate. I have considered changing it for .17hmr a number of times but one of the reasons I have kept it is that you can shoot sub sonic rounds with a moderator and have the closest thing to a silent shot out there. Nobody would even know you were out shooting and I like that as I don't like to draw attention to myself when hunting.
    The bullets are also dirt cheap. For 50 eley subs I'm paying €8. Great for plinking

    The cz is a great rifle have a cz 452 American myself.

    I had a delux but found it a little difficult to find a sight picture with the hog back stock. Not that it affected we much to be honest but I found the straight stock far more comfortable.

    No different in accuracy with either rifles. Just a personal preference for me
