I have a CZ452 in 22lr that I have won first in every competition with. I also have a 550 in 6.5x55 that shoots under a m.o.a. with my handloads. Awesome value! CZ is not much heard of in the U.S.A. because they company is in russia. It wasn't until recent years that they where allowed imported. Ever hear of brno? Same gun, imported through canada under different name. CZ is also the largest small arms manufacturer in the world. They also make military weapons for numerous other countries. If I buy another bolt gun it will be another CZ. Can't beat'em.
