SuperDuty Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 Well looks like CZ pulled out the last of their 452 actions and is making a special run of the famous CZ 452 rifles they've called the Grand Finale. I've collected CZ rifles every since they started getting imported into the US in the early 90's. They are just some of the most accurate rifles at very reasonable prices. And you always had a great chance of getting gorgeous Turkish walnut with them, too. I opened the box on one of mine once to see double fiddle back grain just swirling all over that it looked like a marble finish. It was just too pretty to even use so I ended up selling it a week later for 2.5 times what I paid for it. This new grand finale has some cool features not found on any of the other models so it's gonna have to absolutely go into my collection. What a gorgeous rifle! Quote

I had heard some things were changed, but I hadn't really paid attention. Specifically, I had heard that the safety was changed to a "push-to-fire" from the old pull-to-fire design. True????? jj Quote
SuperDuty Posted January 30, 2020 Author Posted January 30, 2020 I hadn't heard anything about the safety It would surprise me if they did. Quote
Super User Way2slow Posted January 30, 2020 Super User Posted January 30, 2020 Well, I'm not enough of a rimfire shooter when it comes to long range, so no way on this planet I'm going to pay over a "grand" for a finale. All that does is increase the value of the regular used one you come across from time to time. I have probably put a box car load of 22 bullets down the barrels of 22 rifles but 99% of that was close range instinct stunt shooting. People throw up coke cans and shoot them with a shotgun. I threw up 22 casings and shot them with a 22. Put tape over the hole in a 1/2" flat washer, pitch it up in the air and when it lands, it will have a 22 bullet hole through it. Back in the early 70's, the guy that taught me in the mid 50's, how to shoot when I was a snotty nose kid, was with Remington and had it all set up for me to join them as exhibition shooter and they pulled the plug on adding any more, and let several go. Financial cutbacks. For a long time though, Remington kept my supplied the bullets and would swap out the 552's they gave me for new ones. I still did some free lance demo' and they sponsored that. When we finally said goodbye to each other when I joined the Air Force (I was 27 when I joined) and went to Italy, they let me keep the 552 I have. Most of those skills have gone with my eye sight. It's hard to shoot something you can't see. I used to think it was a waste to scope a 22, now most of mine have scopes. Quote
