I know this video is old AF. But just wanted to give a shout out. I just recently dug my CZ 452 Lux out of the safe for the first time in probably 20yrs and fell in love all over again. I'm getting kind of burned out on the whole "tacti-cool" scene. And this classic rimfire just takes me back to my roots of what made me fall in love with guns and the outdoors as a kid. Beautiful wood, blued steel, fantastic accuracy, and reduced sound, makes me feel warm and fuzzy and flooded with memories of a bygone era. I would definitely recommend the 452 lux or ultra lux to anyone looking for a classic rimfire. The downside is you can only find them used................and you're going to pay a stiff price. But if you can afford it, you will not regret it.
Well you certainly get it. Blued steel and walnut are classic. Not a rifle I’d ever sell, although it doesn’t get a ton of attention. It’s gonna be a heirloom at this point.
The UL was my second CZ. Without a doubt the easiest way to get suppressor levels with subsonic ammo without having to invest in a suppressor. Haven't really tried it much at 100 yards, but if yours is rocking bulk ammo at 100 yards, that's a cheap date my friend. The 452's are certainly good shooters. Thanks for checking out the video.
I live in the UK so we get CZs from the main factory in the Cezch Republic and they still make all the models of the 452 from about £300-£450 new. My dad bought two 452's and they are both amazing rifles.
Good video. I have owned a ZC 452 Ultra lux for a year now and I love it. I shoot 100 yards with a scope and use 1225 fps solid led 40gr 333 to a box bullets and am holding an inch and half group. This rifle is much better than I am.
The trigger kit in this rifle is the "yodave" kit. It comes with 4 different springs and 4 different shims to adjust weight of the trigger and creep in the trigger. It can be found on ebay by searching for cz 452.
I've got one of these too. To anyone: If you don't have one, go get one....fast. At the rifle range, I can hit a plate sized target at three hundred yards with iron sights only. Scoped accuracy matches my 1937 Winchester Model 52D target rifle. If I could have only one .22 rimfire this CZ 452 Lux would be my choice.
Just a personal test. Using a rubber mallet with stock removed from the upper you strike the rear of the receiver to try to make the firing pin drop. I wouldn't bang on the rear of the stock, because of possible breakage.
The only thing i got for mine was extra magazine s 25 rounds they ho for 29$ its not too expensive i got 3 ,thank you for your video (made me buy one ) i remember seeing cz 22 rifles advertising in gun magazines but it was your video that convince me ,God bless you .
+Joe Guzman Consider me an enabler, I'm ok with that. You won't be sorry you made this purchase. Years of enjoyment are waiting behind this gem of a rifle.
They are the factory swivel studs. I removed the sling adapters and had to bore out the holes in the studs for a bipod to fit. The Ultra rocks with a bipod attached.
Saw they were getting discontinued, and I love my other czs so much I had to jump on it right now. The salesman is a friend and just rolled his eyes. Another cz rimfire? Unless you shoot one, you can't appreciate the lovely wood, the fit and finish, and sorry to say it like everyone else does, what an accurate gun. Got it before it was discontinued, scoped it as well. Lifetime rifle. Love it a lot.
Great rifle. It does well with cheap ammo too. But Wolfe and Aguila certainly give you that extra precision and consistency. Your cheap mounts look just fine on it. I run BKL 257's (medium) on mine and they hold well. I have a Nikon Prostaff 4x32 -- although I take it off and go open sights from time to time. For hunting, I'd keep them on, but I punch paper and plink, and glass on this rifle is just not fair -- almost no fun because it's so easy.
There was a large shipment just brought into the US, so they should be on the market at fair prices. As for the subsonic rounds, I think they are the ideal choice for the extra length in barrel with sound suppression in mind. I have however heard of squib loads with the CCI Quiet loads, due to lack of velocity. I won't be shooting those in my UL any more. Thanks for commenting and watching.
I like the look of the longer barrel but there are some bad things with long barrels. With a rimfire a shorter barrel is faster than a longer one. But a center fire needs a longer barrel than to be faster.
I really want one of this weapon. It is my favorite. Hearing what you guys have to say about makes me jealous. Here in Brazil it costs around $ 2,500 dollars each. FCK import taxes....
Fancy wood on a CZ can be hard to come by, but there are some lookers out there. All CZ's except for the Scout are adult sized rifles. When I think of all of your parameters, I'd say look at a Cooper Jackson Squirrel Rifle, but be warned they are high dollar.
Squirrels sure are fun to hunt. This is a unique rifle and a great one to have in any collection. I've heard a lot of good things about the Burris Timberline. I really like a rifle that has a appetite for CCI Minimag. Thanks for watching.
I'm partial to aguila. Have you seen the subsonic sniper round by aguila? Might be worth checking out for your squirrels. I shoot the aguila super extra with the copper plating personally for the ground squirrels here. Eats everything I've put into it and shoots the tightest pattern out of all my guns even off iron sights. Hope you're still rocking yours after all this time. Love the vid.
I'm sure you could get that price for yours because I think only 110 of those were made. I'm guessing the orangish colored stock too. I'd buy now, based on them wanting to phase out the 452's.
+Freedom Outdoors Glad you like the squirrel hunting vids. Looks like January is gonna have to go together with February due to the small amount of footage.
You are crazy to change weapons to take a 100yd shot. You can still take 100yd, 150yd and 200yd shots with a cz that is sited in at 50yd. Just have to learn your MOA. I thoroughly enjoy taking long shots with my lux but that might be my military blood coming out. Don't take this comment the wrong way my friend I just hate to see you leave this beauty at home and take the other lol. Nice gun
Has to be the training you received in the military. I do want to learn how to use the MOA system when making adjustments, I just haven't taken the time. I do take this rifle out from time to time, especially when sniping from a deer stand.
I agree. Actually some CZ 452 and 455 rifles come with Tangent sights...like those found on older military rifles... for various distances marked in "Meters" ... just get the ammo that matches your TANGENT sights properly and forget the fogged up scope and "switching rifles" or dialing scope in forever. During a 100 to 300 meter "plinking" session in the river valley { less windy area } with a CZ-452 Ultra Lux 28.6" barrel factory fitted with 25 to 300 Meter sights.... first session indications are that the CCI Stinger matches fairly closely. Other ammo will be tested as it becomes available.
Super Colibris from a 28" luxe are quieter than a spring piston airgun. Subsonics are not, unless you're talking about the world's loudest springer. Subsonics quieter than a PCP airgun? Maybe; about the same. Good vid.
Thanks for the video. I've been wanting to pick up a 452 or 455 for a while now. Like you, I would scope it - but I've assumed that I needed to get the American version since its stock doesn't have the down sloping comb that the Lux version does. Do you find it awkward at all having the scope with the lower comb?
Have you ever chronographed this rifle ? I read somewhere once that a rifle barrel that long actually decreases velocity due to the fact that all the power has burned out and the friction of the rifling causes the bullet to slow . I do not know if this is true or not . Would be interesting to know if it does . Thanks , always enjoy your videos.
Haven't chrono'd the UL, but I have the American line. I believe your theory is correct about the decrease in velocity from the longer barrel. There is certainly a reduction in sound.
I chronographed mine with its squirrel ammo. CCI 40gr HP is claimed to go either 1050 or 1070 (can’t remember) on the box. From my barrel it averaged 1,079 fps with an extreme spread of like 12fps. Real accurate and quiet. Correction: mine is not the Ultra Lux, but the ≈25” barrel version.
I noticed you have swivel studs on your stock. Did yours come that way or did you convert it?- I'd like to get a bipod on mine but can't due to the factory sling mounts.
Hey, nice video. I'm looking for one of the same. My local gun shop owner wants the Model Number of the 452 ultra lux to get one from CZ. Apparently the shop owner is good friends with CZ owner in the US. I can't locate the model number anywhere. Can you help? Do you know the model number? Thx.

Pretty close. The stock on the lux is walnut and the barrel length is 24.6". The UL has a beechwood stock and a 28.6" barrel.
The super exclusive has a turkish walnut stock, fwiw

Some people just don't get it. Lifetime rifle for sure.

It's beechwood as far as I know. Thanks for watching.

Me gusta ese rifle,
I can't imagine how quiet it is suppressed. It's quiet enough as is, but I like the idea of the suppressor.
The Ultra Lux has to be the best looking .22LR on the market and will out-shoot anything under $1,000.
Great rifle. It does well with cheap ammo too. But Wolfe and Aguila certainly give you that extra precision and consistency. Your cheap mounts look just fine on it. I run BKL 257's (medium) on mine and they hold well. I have a Nikon Prostaff 4x32 -- although I take it off and go open sights from time to time. For hunting, I'd keep them on, but I punch paper and plink, and glass on this rifle is just not fair -- almost no fun because it's so easy.
I'll bet that's the quietest .22 on the market, period. It's got a lot of volume and mass to dissipate the pressure.
There was a large shipment just brought into the US, so they should be on the market at fair prices. As for the subsonic rounds, I think they are the ideal choice for the extra length in barrel with sound suppression in mind. I have however heard of squib loads with the CCI Quiet loads, due to lack of velocity. I won't be shooting those in my UL any more. Thanks for commenting and watching.
Not a thing wrong with those rings. They actually look good too.
I like the look of the longer barrel but there are some bad things with long barrels. With a rimfire a shorter barrel is faster than a longer one. But a center fire needs a longer barrel than to be faster.

There’s a pair of these in excellent condition at a store near me, I think I’ll get one. I’m an airgun guy
Where can I buy these peep sights you are talking about at Rimfire Central? Who is the forum member that sells these?
I'm sure you could get that price for yours because I think only 110 of those were made. I'm guessing the orangish colored stock too. I'd buy now, based on them wanting to phase out the 452's.
Absolutely beutiful and accurate
Great. In Sweden the squirrels are so small one would have to be very patient to serve them for dinner :)
Beautiful Gun! By the way, MORE SQUIRREL HUNTING VIDEOS! please haha they're great.
+Freedom Outdoors Glad you like the squirrel hunting vids. Looks like January is gonna have to go together with February due to the small amount of footage.
Looks great !!!
You are crazy to change weapons to take a 100yd shot.
You can still take 100yd, 150yd and 200yd shots with a cz that is sited in at 50yd.

That looks like Maple? Don't they come with beechwood stocks? If its beechwood it sure is pretty. Nice rifle!
Looks good, but I would've liked the video more if you would have at least shot it to show its silence and stealth...
Silent Sniper Sorry this video wasn't meant for that. I've got others showing its capabilities.
natebonebusta Ohh ok. Didn't realize. I wasn't downing you or anything.
Silent Sniper No offense taken, but it can be hard to gauge demeanor through text sometimes. I appreciate you watching.
You mentioned a trigger kit. Which kit would that be?
Great looking rifle, by the way.
Thanks for the video. I've been wanting to pick up a 452 or 455 for a while now.

+Rob Amato It will take a little getting use to, but the American version has a great comb for a scope.
which CZ to buy I hate kiddie size guns but yours looks super long? I want checkering, fancy wood something to be proud of.
Thanks for the info!!

Haven't chrono'd the UL, but I have the American line. I believe your theory is correct about the decrease in velocity from the longer barrel. There is certainly a reduction in sound.
I have cronographed mine... it gains 50 fps on high velocity rounds... extracts every bit of power!
I chronographed mine with its squirrel ammo. CCI 40gr HP is claimed to go either 1050 or 1070 (can’t remember) on the box. From my barrel it averaged 1,079 fps with an extreme spread of like 12fps. Real accurate and quiet. Correction: mine is not the Ultra Lux, but the ≈25” barrel version.

I had a leupold with fine crosshairs but I found the crosshairs got "lost' when looking at tree foliage.
I certainly find the same thing with the duplex dot of the Clearidge. Gotta pick the right crosshair for the job at hand.
It might be a good idea to show some shootings, which people expect when they want to watch a review of a gun.
Agreed. This was one night, after supper, when I first dipped my toe in the TH-cam waters. I’ve got other ultra lux shooting vids now.
Proud to be Czech :)
Thanks for the tip. I kinda figured I was slaughtering the name "Aguila"
I noticed you have swivel studs on your stock. Did yours come that way or did you convert it?- I'd like to get a bipod on mine but can't due to the factory sling mounts.
That price is out of control.
is it just the CZ 452 that they are not making, or the whole CZ company that r not making guns anymore.
CZ is phasing out the 452 models for there newer 455 models.
Ok thanks because they make such beautiful rifles it would be a shame if they went out of business
so beautiful, i wish i had one on these. :(
Good gan
Absolutely, like dark meat chicken. Already at 51 for the season. Also share them with people who love to eat them
Hey, nice video. I'm looking for one of the same. My local gun shop owner wants the Model Number of the 452 ultra lux to get one from CZ. Apparently the shop owner is good friends with CZ owner in the US. I can't locate the model number anywhere. Can you help? Do you know the model number? Thx.
Tommy Rad prod# 2CZ MF 1 try that . My serial is A961708 that might help also. Love mine.
Why would one shoot squirrels? Are they tasty?
GUD!!!
Is the lux model the same of the ultra lux?
What kinda(brand/height) scope ring is that?
Tasco rimfire rings. Weaver makes an equivalent.
does the scope hit exactly?
Thought I was listening to Dale Jr
I hot my 452 ultra lux and on the barril it only mark 452 and on my friends its mark 452 -455 does anybody knows the difference.
main difference is 452 has threaded on barrel
Lens is 50mm?
It’s a 32mm.
@@natebonebusta thx
What scope is that?
Clearidge 3-9x32
@@natebonebusta thank you
im purchasing a CZ model 2 22lr not a 452 but the predecessor.... if only grandpa had kept his INSTEAD he gave ti to the bloke who painted his house
