cz 452 lux upgrades?

[boxturtle]

So finally found some time to start upgrading my lux....any sites for it? suggestion for scopes and rings? Not looking anything too fancy I'm more on function and less on bling Already ordered the trigger upgrade. You guys do any other upgrade on it?

When you say trigger upgrade are you saying springs and shims or aftermarket trigger? You can also go with an adjustable sear, pillars and bedding, replace the action screws with hex head screws so you can get a more accurate torque for accuracy, polish the bolt and replace the spring to get a better lock time, reshape the firing pin for better accuracy. If you really like the 452 the way I think you will, you can get a CZ 455 for your next toy and replace the factory barrel with a Lilja match barrel barrel.

Buy about 6 different types of ammo to see what it really likes. Wolf ME, Wolf MT or Sk Std +, Eley Match, Eley Edge, are some examples. I have had good luck with Federal Auto match if you want bulk ammo but it is not as good as those mentioned above. You're gonna love that Lux.

As far as a scope it depends on what your major use will be for the rifle. Hunting: Get a nice Weaver RV-9. Target shooting: Weaver V-16 or V-24, for a fixed magnification a Weaver T-24. The rifle deserves a nice scope, they are reall shooters and the trigger upgrade is the best thing you could have done for that rifle. I replaced my stock with a Boyd's Rimfire Thumbhole which makes using a scope much, much better. Also the CZs have a high bolt throw so be careful of the diameter of the rear ocular that the bolt will not hit the scope. The CZ forum on rimfirecentral.com has a lot of info on scopes for those rifles.

Ammo: My UltraLux loves Wolf Match Target, SK Std + and best of all Eley Target. These days match ammo isn't that much more expensive than bulk ammo. I have not found any bulk ammo that shoots well in my Ultralux. My test for ammo with this rifle is will it shoot MOA (1/2" five shot groups @ 50 yds). Good luck with your scope choice.
