DWH,
Welcome to THR and to the 452 club.
I've got a 452 Style (stainless, synthetic).
It's only the 2nd .22LR I've ever owned - first was a Remington Nylon 66 in my youth - so take anything I say with a grain of salt.
But in general, I really like this gun. Very much a tack driver.
Only things I've added to mine are a sling and a scope.
Actually,
I've moved the sling over to my 870 until I get a second one for the 452.
I'll buy a third one for my upcoming Marlin 336; yes, I like it that much.
Which sling?
Clincher.
I also bought a scope for the 452, and a nice one, but it wasn't the right one for me. It was a centerfire scope, which is now
for sale. It would be fine for longer shots, but mine are typically shorter.
So, as soon as I sell the original, I plan to buy a dedicated rimfire scope, almost certainly a
Nikon Prostaff.
Believe it or not, I'm seriously thinking of shortening the barrel on this 452.
Where I live and hunt, the cover is dense, dense, dense. It's nice to be able to trek through the undergrowth and not have the rifle (slung over my shoulder) not stick above my head. Besides, the thick growth insures short distance shots, so that barrel doesn't need to be long.
My Nylon 66 had a shorter barrel, and was just fine.
