Last two checkering panels completed

Post by bandit1250 » Sat Jan 12, 2019 10:43 am

Yesterday I finished up the last two checkering panels on my CZ 452 22 that I recently gave to my wife. I don't hunt with it so she can have it for bench shooting along with some other 452's I have given to her. She loves the light weight triggers on the 452's better than the some what hard pull on her 39A's. I didn't think I would get the two panels and the borders done as fast as I did but they were no where near as bad as some of the other CZ's I have recut. Also earlier I had put a new VX 1 Leupold on it and set the parallax for rim fire target shooting and gave her the scope with it also. We are supposed to get about 6" of snow this evening so tomorrow can be a fun day on the mountain with her and my 4-wheeler in the snow. So the guns will sit with no stock work getting done if it does snow. Here is the panels done yesterday.

The CZ with the new Leupold I put on it a while back that we never even sighted in yet with it being apart for some time getting the checkering recutting done. Also found an engraved set of rings that I put on with the new scope.

Love those CZs, too, as you well know.

Been following the reports on the new 457s and, at this point, I am taking a wait and see approach. I was disappointed to learn that the trigger is different on the 457s, compared to the 452s and 455s. It is adjustable, though, but no one has yet figured out how to tune it down the way we like our 452s and 455s.
