I paid a little over $300 (new)for my CZ 452 American a little over 3 years ago. I imagine they go for a bit more now, but that depends on the model. Most accurate .22 I've ever shot besides an Anshutz competition target rifle. There's a guy that sells a small aftermarket trigger kit for it with lighter springs and a sear sleave that you can install yourself. I went that route and the trigger pulls crisp and light, probably about 1.5-2 pounds. Quality is definitely there. CZ has been making firearms (CZ 75 9mm is most widely used police issue internationally)for decades, though not as well known in the US. If you want to look up more info, the manufacturer site is www.czusa.com. CZ also has a pretty solid following over at www.rimfirecentral.com.
