We have 2 x 5 round and 2 x 10 round mags and have fitted it with a quality 4 x 44mm scope. The only problem I identify is that with lubricated Winchester sub-sonic ammunition a build-up of lubricant on the front lip of the mags can cause feed difficulities.

There is no-one who has used this firearm who does not rate it as the most user friendly and marksman hero-making rifle they have ever used. The rifle remains on the sighting plain while the action is cycled, and we can only identify the old (and now prohibited) self-loaders to have had that ability.

It is a rugged ultra modern/ good looking, easy to use safely, fast to discharge repeatedly, UNFAILINGLY accurate and auguably un-beatable in every regard rimfire farm or target rifle that costs ~$1200 in Australia. The CZ452 would be farm choice #2 (I reckon if you ask me)!

You cannot do better than the Izhmash and the (Eastern European) low price in America appears to have a negative inpact on the quality of American reviews of this Soviet-Legacy gem.
