My new CZ 453 American SST

[penguinofsleep]

factory out of the box config, i find cz45x will outshoot pretty much any 10/22. with mods and upgrades though, then it depends. as for maximum potential, i don't know enough about these 2 platforms to say for sure. i imagine it'd be the CZ just because some people have won competitions with a CZ (although not often) and i haven't heard of any won with a 10/22 of any kind and because bolt action vs semi.

This one has the interchangeable barrel right?

Nope. I didn't want the newer 455 models. The two I have are the older, supposedly discontinued (replaced by the 455's) models. My 452 American I bought at Whittaker's the first of the year when they supposedly received 1000 of them in 2 or 3 batches starting in December. The only thing I'm thing of changing is the trigger pull, as I'm use to the 2-2.5 pounds on my 10/22's. All my 10/22's either have had the Brimstone trigger work, or the Kidd single stage drop in trigger. Can't beat either one, although the Brimstone is much cheaper as you send him the trigger assembly for reworking.

The other CZ is also the American model of the 453. This one has a fully adjustable trigger. It too will be lightened. By me though, after I shoot a few more times with it. One of the features with the SST trigger is their "set" position for the trigger. Jus gently push the trigger forward till you feel a click. Now the trigger will respond with a very, very light pressure. It's poundage is also very easily adjusted.
