I local gunshop todey, sales guy mentioned that CZ will be stopping making rimfires next year, to concentrate on C/F and Shotguns, i thought WTF !!!!
I'm calling BS on it, i would have thought that the rimfires could be there number 1 seller ??
maybe another on to file in the "things you here in gunshops file"

That wouldn't be a good move for CZ.

CZ is ceasing manufacture of the CZ452, the current incarnation of the venerable BRNO Model 2.
Their opinion is that the 452 is obsolete due to improvements in manufacturing which are now available from other models offered in the CZ rimfire range.

Yeah that's what I have heard, pretty stupid move really, especially the switch barrel model, if you need two different calibres, get two rifles, easy eh.

Wow, that's very generous of you mate, thanks......I think
Makes my two look pretty good on the investment side, and Im wondering if it will make my old Brno Mod 2 better value.
