The CZ 452 American is the first-generation American-stock CZ rimfire — the predecessor to both the 455 and 457. With a Turkish walnut stock and cold-hammer-forged barrel, the 452 established CZ's reputation for producing European-quality rimfire accuracy at prices accessible to American buyers. Discontinued after the 455 and 457 replaced the 452 line, the 452 is now frequently purchased by collectors who remember it as the defining affordable precision rimfire of its era. Type: Rifle Action: Bolt-Action Caliber: 22 LR Capacity: 5 Year introduced: 1995, Czech Republic Weight: 96 oz Overall length: 39.5" Status: Discontinued Intended use: target, hunting, collector
