I picked up another CZ. I already had a 452 Trainer (similar to a Lux, but with beech stock) - I had heard about the Ultra Lux models, but hadn't wanted one bad enough to special order. I was actually shopping for a .223 bolt action when I spotted this CZ with an exceptionally long barrel. I knew I had to have it. $219 plus tax and it was mine. The story is that these were made as training rifles for the United Arab Emirates. Somehow there were too many and the rest were shipped to CZ-USA. It has a long 28.5" barrel, gold trigger, rubber buttpad and a little different stock than the trainer. It is finished in a reddish tint. The stock has a cheek rest that the trainer model didn't have.
This thing SHOOTS. The only scope I had on hand was an old Bushnell Banner .22 scope 4X. It actually works well since the rear ladder sight is still on. I plan on getting taller rings and a better scope. The Harris bipod is the 1A2 Model H which will go from 13"-23" this works well for me on a bench or sitting. Mostly I shoot on my own property and sitting is a comfortable position and gets me up above the weeds. Best group from 40 yards was about 1/2" with Wolf Target ammo. I haven't played with the trigger yet. It is adjustable and a guy named Brookie sells spring kits on the CZ Forum I think I will get some and try to make the trigger better. The bipod isn't as solid as I thought it would be, I haven't used one before. It it MUCH easier than holding it free hand though. Overall worth the $60 for the bipod.
