    CZ 452 Trainer Rifle

    I am wanting to know what a slightly used CZ 452 Trainer worth? Any suggestions?

    They are in the neighborhood of $400 new, depending where it was purchased. I have 8 CZ rimfires the least I paid was $350, the most was $419, all bought new. If it functions the way it should and in good shape, $300, give or take a few dollars.

      452's are not being produced anymore. While it is possible that you could score one for 300, if the seller knows CZ rimfires, I dont think you re likely to putchase it at the low end of its value.

      I would expect to pay closer to 350.

      Now if it was a 455 training rifle, I wouldnt pay much more than 300. Quality control on the 455s has been generally inconsistent.

        100% agree, $350-$400
        The 452 Trainer is a superb rimfire, its accuracy, quality and craftsmanship is comparable to Anschutz. The trigger is its only complain point, but major improvement is a DYI job with a kit available on the internet for $18 http://www.yodaveproducts.com/

          I think the 452's accuracy is comparable to an Anschutz 64 action. The upper-end 54-actions are in a class of their own, however. And they are priced in a class of their own, too.

              I really want something without irons as i am getting older, enjoy scopes more. Thinking about the new Savage B22 FV.

                I would take a 455 American (straight comb, non-iron sight) over savage, ruger, etc. I am biased however.

                Depending on how anal you are with accuracy and your DIY abilities, a lot can be fixed with a devcon bedding job and more can be addressed by dumping $$ into it.

                What is your budget?

                  You can install a scope on 452 Trainer. The receiver top is machined to accept dovetail rings. I have a 6-32 X installed on mine, it fits perfectly, no interference with the iron sights whatsoever.

                    That is a great point. I do have a 452 trainer in 17hmr that is scoped, ut it is not nearly as comfortable to shoot scoped as my 22lr non-scoped trainer or my ultra lux.

                    The scoped american is much more enjoyable to shoot espevially off the bench where most of my shooting occurs.

                    Here is a 17hmr trainer with a Weaver Grand Slam 4-16x44 which is short enough to sit behind the rear sight. If a 17hmr American was availanle at the time I would have opted for it since I do not intend to use sights with it.

                      The scope clearance is annoying with low rings.

                        As others have mentioned CZ rimfire rifles are accurate but scoped 455 really needs a 50+ yard range to shine.

                        If you rarely visit a 50+ yard range and most ranges near you are 20-25 yard indoor, you might get more enjoyment from a lever or pump .22.

                          100 yards for me, Ive decided to sell it.

                              It depends on the scope.
