Would you buy this version of the CZ 452 Luxe if made?

Please vote in poll if you're a 452 nut - or even if you're not.

The standard 452 Luxe has a long 24" barrel. Regardless of how many 452s you own right now, including whether or not you presently own a Luxe, would you, or would you not, given your actual present situation, run out and buy a Luxe in the near future if they suddenly offered it with a 16" barrel - in other words, same Euro stock and fancy front and rear sights, but with the short short bbl like the American 16?

I do have an Ultra Lux with the 28 in bbl, it’s like a de facto silencer with subsonic rounds.

The Lux and Ultra Lux (Super Exclusive in some parts of the world) have perhaps the best iron sights on the market. I currently have three 452s and some Brnos but a Lux in 22 Mag is on the list, regardless of bbl length.

I too love the Luxe for its silencing properties - a flobert or CB cap is *almost* as quiet from the 24" barrel as a super colibri is from a 16" barrel - almost. Hmm, I would love the try the ultra luxe for this reason - are they still available?

Regardless, I want a 16" luxe as an iron-sighted handy hunter! Yes, gotta love those nice irons.

On your 452 in .22 mag - I'd want 18 or 19" anyway for .22 mag, to get the most out of the cartridge. But I like 16" .22s.

Probably not, since I own a 452 Scout, for teaching the kids. If it had been available before I bought the scout, I would have considered a 16" Luxe instead.

As it is, I will eventually be in the market for a 24" Luxe.

Nope. I've got a 16" American (I had mine cut down before they started offering one) with a scope on it already, and a Lux. I prefer the longer sight plane when using iron sights.

The standard 452 Luxe has a long 24" barrel.

The Training Rifle has a 25" barrel. The Lux and Ultra Lux have the 29" barrels.

The Lux and Ultra Lux (Super Exclusive in some parts of the world) have perhaps the best iron sights on the market.

And the Training Rifle.

OK. Well, MY Lux has a 24" bbl - I just measured it. So I dunno....

MY Lux has a 24" bbl

As does mine. I had to go check after I saw that as well.
