Hi all-
I'm seeking a CZ in 22LR. One option is to track down a 452 before they go away and the other is to get a 455 whenever as they're more available. The 452 is a well-known quantity as to quality and accuracy. I had heard that the 455 had a few teething challenges, but more recent reviews are quite favorable. Further, it does appear the stock barrel clearance may be a little more favorable in the 455. From what I can see, the price difference for similar variants is about $90 more for the 452 than the same type of 455. I have no particular desire to swap barrels at this time (and don't foresee it down the road either). I have held a 455, and it's nice.
Once that decision is made, I also am a little uncertain on whether to seek something like a Varmint and scope it, or get the Trainer with the tangent sight. The trainer would add something different to the .22 collection, whereas I do have a few scoped rifles.
Purpose is basically plinking.
So...two questions, one easily put in a survey and the other more "subjective". The poll is 455 vs 452. Feel free to vote then offer rationale on that question, but please also offer opinions about which variant, regardless of the 452 v 455 question.
Thanks all.
