Hi Sharpie,

It's a reference to an old rimfire post from Rinso some years ago in a topic "Re: Beginner - Rimfire Benchrest"

I've pasted Rinso's advice below.

My advice is to sell all the 22 BR gear you have and invest in a nice solid brick.
Then every Saturday sit down in a nice comfy chair in the yard with said brick. At intervals of about 30 minutes smack yourself in the head with the brick.

You will find this is much simplier and cheaper than 22 Benchrest yet yeilds a similar result at days end.

Enjoy the forum, and enjoy your CZ.

Sharpie, I have the sme rifle. Shoots great and consistently. Change the trigger spring if you want it lighter, I got a spring from the local engineer suppliers and trimmed it to length but buying one of the kits is an easy option. I bedded the action, can't say it is more accurate because of it but if I pull the action from the stock it always goes back the same and scope often doesn't need ajustment and holds point of aim consistently. I bed actions just to remove a possible problem and doen't take much to do.
Using Win power points for hunting and cheaper bulk ammo for plinking.

Great rifle, get out and enjoy it.

Sharpie wrote: No intention on it ever being a swap barrel set up, the 452 is older more proven design, been going strong since it replaced the old BRNO model 2. I Know there are prob more similarities than differences but I'm a bit of a traditionalist, there must be a reason CZ kept making the 452 when it was supposed to be replaced by be 455 years ago! Why change for changes sake? My understanding is the change was to cheapen production and allow 1 action to chamber 17hmr 22lr arms 22 mag!
Sounds fine. I looked at the 455 and really liked it (have a Model 2 and Anshultz 1450 currently), particularly how the kids can use the 22LR barrel, whilst I swap into a 17HMR. Found that there's a new Combo coming where you can get 22LR, 17HMR and 22Mag barrel in one kit. BUT ... also lusting after a Sako Quad Synthetic and oddly a Savage MkII FV-SR, the Savage being 16.5" fluted-barrelled looks damn handy ... but kind of ugly. :lol:

Been rediscovering the joys of rimfires ... nothing better than a few lazy hours and a carton of bulk ammunition ... when I can find some time. :lol: Testing a mates new production Lithgow really got me fired up about adding some more rimfires, and ditching some centrefires. :lol:

You don't need pillar bedding on a 22 but my CZ has a Yo Dave trigger and is glass bedded (Knead it bedded even!)
I dont have access to a lathe or mill but am pretty comfortable with my tech skills, is the yo dave as simple as you tube makes out?

How much bedding compound/kneed it do I need to put in? Should I do the whole length of the action or front and rear or corners? Should I remove any/ much timber to replace with compound or just v thin skim over keyed timber?

I know most of these questions I could find answeres to with a few hrs googling but that would defeat the purpose of such a fine repository of knowledge as this!

Bedding a 452 is a sticky on the CZ forum at Rimfire Central, with pics. Pillars made from air hose couplings are easily made.

DSD installed mine at the last Missedathon as I am a self confessed Klutz.

It looked pretty simple, except for the fact the previous owner had attacked the sear....

Of the 7 or so that I have put in yours is the only 1 I have had trouble with(others were all from cz452.com but the same as a yo dave). I have also put in 5 bic pen springs without any problems but all turned out with different trigger pressures, all consistent but no 2 the same and they did not address the creep like the yo dave does.

I drive out the front pin,drill the hole out to 1/8,cut the shank of said drill that you drilled the hole with and use that as the new pin,stake it,glue it,nail polish it or what ever you like in place and bobs your aunty.
