Customer Reviews for CZ 455 Varmint .22 WMR Bolt Action Rifle

I have two CZ 455 rifles. One in 22 RF and this one I bought in 22 WMR. The 22 LR is accurate; however, the 22 WRF was a scatter gun. I bought a new .17 HMR barrel and put on the rifle and the accuracy is outstanding. For comparison, I have an Anschutz 22 WMR and it is extremely accurate shooting the same lot of ammo as the CZ shot; so not the ammo. I like CZ rifles, but I consider them basically a "kit gun". Both CZs I bought had poor triggers, so I put Timney triggers on each. Not as good as an Anschutz 5098 triggers, but much better than the stock CZ triggers. Also, the bedding on the CZs is rough, so I sanded the stocks to smooth and improved the fit. I will probably buy other CZs as I like to work on them and get them shooting accurately (1/2 in or better 5 shot groups at 50 yds). The guns are basically well made; just need that final finishing touch. Some of the stocks have very nice walnut with good figure.

Another winner. Bought additional .22 LR and .17HMR barrels for it but haven't had the opportunity to try them all out yet. So far it shows promise. Fit and finish are excellent. Bolt works smooth and the trigger is good.

rating this good, because buds shipped next day. but the accuracy of this gun is the worst i've ever had to date. I have another CZ 452 .22lr that is lights out. this gun I knew wouldnt shoot like a 22lr, but 2.5" groups at 30 yards is totally unacceptable, my pellet guns are more accurate.
