CZ 455 FS

Post by BigAl52 » Sun Aug 16, 2020 11:13 pm

Ive been looking for one of these used at a reasonable price. Looks like that aint gonna happen. Prices on these have gone nuts as other things. This to me is way over the top but maybe its just a sign of the times. Probably a good thing as I have been thinning the herd at my house. Time to make things simple.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

I bought one new in March of 2019 when the prices were affordable. I refinished it and put on a Schnabel and a grip cap. I also bought the 22 mag and 17 hmr barrels. I haven't had it to the range yet. Here's a couple of photos.

Pretty guns, but the stock is not my style. I have a SilencerCo special edition 455 Varmint with serial number matched .22 LR and .17 HMR 17.2” threaded barrels. The .22 doesn’t shoot especially well but the .17 is a flat shooting tack driver. I need to fix the trigger though. It is still factory and a bit heavy.

I have had several CZ bolt action rifles including a 453 Varmint (double set triggers) that I sorely miss. None have disappointed me.

There is a trick to getting the (way) overtorqued barrel screws loose on the 455. Use a metric 3/8” square drive Allen bit and a 3/8” rigid breaker bar. Remove the slack and then give the bar a quick jerk. The screw will pop loose easily. Getting it loose with just a small Allen wrench may be impossible. Or you could use a hand impact driver with the bit, and a hammer, but that shouldn’t be needed, a last act of desperation only.....If nothing else works.

I quite like the switch barrel feature.
