Guy, the trigger isn’t bad but on a gun of this quality you would expect it to be better. It’s definitely the limiting factor in the 455.

Wonder how the trigger is?

FYI, there is only one size of 455 action. So if you buy a 455 in 22lr, you can put a 22 wmr, or 17 hmr barrel on. Then just remove a spacer in the magwell to allow for the larger mag. Cheers!

A problem with the 455 Varmint is fitting a large objective scope. I wanted to fit a Leupold M8 6×42 with AO.

First, the rifle has 11mm dovetail grooves, rather than being drilled and tapped. Second, finding rings/mounts that kept the scope as low as possible without the objective hitting the bbl is hard. I tried several combinations before going with this:

– Diversified Innovative Products 11mm to Picatinny Extended scope mount.

– Brownells Aluminum Picatinny mounts, LOW height.

This combination gives me a good cheek weld while keeping the optical axis very low, and the objective clears the varmint bbl. The bolt handle also clears the eyepiece when operating the action.

None of the available 11mm dovetail rings put the scope low enough to be comfortable without a cheek-piece.

DIP also has some other fun parts for the 455; extended mag release, alum. replacement part for the cheap plastic mag well, and more.

Editor: Burris makes tall rings that will get a medium size objective well clear of the barrel. We had no problem with cheekweld — but everyone has their own preferences. You can easily adapt a lace-on or slide-on cheek pad.

I bought the 455 Varmint wood stock in .17 HMR. It’s cheaper. And if you buy it in .22 mag or .17 hmr you can buy a barrel change kit that allows you to fire .22 LR. Note that if you buy a .22 LR you cannot fit a barrel swap kit because the action is shorter. Barrel swap is similar to swapping on a Ruger 10-22. It’s a nice thing to have if you can’t find a particular type of ammo when you need it.

I’ve been looking at these as an F class trainer. Boyd’s offers the tacticool stock in black, green or their colored laminates. You can get the 455 in the varmint w/longer barrel and walnut stock for around $450. Then get the stock from Boyd’s if you want a different color.

The CZ 455 Varmint Tacticool .22 LR Was Discontinued in 2013.

Editor: The Varmint Tacticool is still offered. The current version is the “Suppressor Ready” model. Same gun — it just has a shorter, threaded barrel. See: http://bit.ly/1z9acEt

You can also still find the older, non-threaded version at many dealers.
