Bought my first rifle yesterday - Pics!

Looks great! I would have gotten the model with the bolt though

Congrats on A fine choice for A first rifle. you will certanly enjoy it.

If you got the bolt with it.

Very nice! Why the ?

That is a heck of a first rifle! I have no doubt that you will thoroughly enjoy it.

Congrats - excellent choice

Nice kit to start with - have fun

nice looking rifle, have fun.

And, you won the wood lottery too! Very nice stock on that one. A well defined grain structure, nice contrast, and running very parallel to the bore. Congrats, you'll love it.

Do the required ammo testing, and find what the gun wants to shoot. That not only means CCI, Winchester, Federal, but testing the various offerings within the maker's lineup. Federal alone I think makes well over a dozen variants of .22 rimfire ammo. Lotsa range time there. It's tough work, but somebody's gotta do it - snrk!

And, you've undoubtedly got one of the last 452's in the pipeline. You won't regret that either. That gun should hold it's value quite well in the future. Ya done good!

congrats, you did good. make sure you post some range results

Christmas came early this year huh?

Bringing home a new gun always brings a smile to your face. Have fun

Beautiful rifle. But I'm not that familiar with CZs, what caliber does the 452 come in? Have you shot it yet?

Fantastic, well done! Congrats on a great rifle and be sure to keep it forever. Some day shooting rimfire ammo may get old to you, but you will come back to it. Even if it is after a couple decades.

Absolutely...make sure you keep it...you will return to it no matter what eventual calibers you get.

That's a fine looking rifle, and one that should last you a lifetime.

Congrats!

if your looking for a semi auto thats in the quality range of the cz, id be lookin at the weatherby tube fed auto.i dont think they makum anymore but there are plenty to be had for around 400 to 500 bucks.otherwise id go for the ruger 10-22 as they got lots of upgrades available. for a lever 22, the marlin 39a is the primo lever gun.the older the better. nuttin wrong with the henry, they are awesum shooters.there is just sompin about the rock solid feel of a marlin 39a.they hold ther value better than the henry.

wat scope are yu puttin on that pretty gun?

Great choice for a first rifle. Looks as though the only thing you need to pick up is a few boxes of ammo. I'd suggest starting with some Winchester 333 or 555 bulk because it shoots decent, is reliable, and fairly inexpensive...then start trying different types of premium ammo when you start to close your groups.

Beautiful Rifle and great choice! That will last your lifetime and provide many memories.

Enjoy and have fun shooting,

Matt

Dang fine looking rifle, welcome to thr.

Nice choice of rifle, scope, and rings. It should be a blast. One word from the experienced, clean that barrel quite well. When they ship it they have a lot of grease in the barrel. Let us know how it shoots.
