Who This Rifle Is For
This isn’t your plinking tube-fed .22. The CZ 452 Grand Finale is for the collector who shoots and the shooter who collects. It’s for the individual who understands that a rimfire can be a precision instrument, whether you’re methodically clearing a squirrel line at 75 yards, competing in a vintage sporter class, or teaching the next generation the fundamentals of marksmanship on a platform that demands respect. It’s built for the hand that appreciates the feel of real walnut and the mind that values mechanical pedigree.
Pros & Cons
Pros: Unmatched fit and finish for a production rimfire. The single-set trigger is a genuine performance enhancer. The controlled-round feed and cold hammer-forged barrel are hallmarks of a serious rifle. Its limited edition status ensures it will hold intrinsic collector value. The 22.5-inch barrel length optimizes .22LR velocity and balance.
Cons: The premium materials and limited nature command a premium price point. The classic stock design may not suit those preferring modern, adjustable chassis systems. Its weight, over six and a half pounds, lends to stability but is heavier than many synthetic-stocked alternatives. That said, you’re paying for substance, not just a name.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What makes this a “Grand Finale” or limited edition?
A: This model commemorates the final production batch of the CZ 452, a series renowned for decades for its accuracy and quality. It receives special attention to finish and premium wood not found on standard models, making it a designated endcap to the lineage.
Q: Is the magazine interchangeable with other CZ 452 models?
A: Yes. It uses the same reliable 5-round (or available 10-round) detachable magazine as other CZ 452 American models, so sourcing spares is straightforward.
Q: How does the single-set trigger work?
A: Push the trigger forward to “set” it. This engages a secondary sear for an extremely light, crisp pull, often measured in ounces, ideal for precision shots. Leave it in the standard mode for a still-excellent, safer pull around 3-4 lbs for general use. This rifle is available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide, with an FFL transfer required for firearm purchases.
