Does anyone have a cz452 Varmint,and if so whats it like ?
Been looking online and the only differience in the varmint and american seems to be a barrel weight,or is their more ?

The varmint has a heavier barrel,heavier fore-end and weighs about a pound more. All cz452 models have been discontinued and replaced with 453 models. These in turn,are currently being replaced with the 455,although 453s should be available for quite some time yet. By the way,did you see the new 455 thumbhole?

Longranger is correct...

I like the thumbhole as well, but I would like the Style with thumbhole stock....

Not quite, the 452 and 453 ran along side each other up to lately. The 453 is the same as 452 only with a better trigger. Now the 452 is replaced with the 455. 455 can switch barrels and has has a few other small changes. According to the CZ website 453's are still being produced. 452's shouldn't be hard to find here.

OP, there isn't supposed to be any difference in accuracy between the varmint and american. As longranger said just barrel weight, fore-end etc. Some people rather the extra weight but i wouldn't be one of those.

The new thumbholes are lovely alright, but personally i'd like a lighter barrel, if i was changing my basic 452 i'd buy a 453 or 455 with a normal 16" barrel and buy a thumbhole stock from boyds, would make a lovely gun, or else a 452 style

How accurate at 100yrds Beretta,1/2" or more like 1.5" ?

I see them in Duffys of Galway for 540.00 (.17hmr),did yours include mounts for 600 ?

I have the 453 American, thought it was better to handle, not as heavy as the varmint. And the trigger in 453 is great as well. Have used it for bunnies past tow years and love it
