Guys I bought a CZ-452 Military Trainer from Bud's Gun Shop a few days ago.
I was surprised to find them in stock there, new, since I've heard they stopped making them some time ago.
Needless to say, I am INCREDIBLY excited to own one of these as I've heard nothing but good things about them. I love to shoot with open sights and I hear the Military Trainers are specifically made for open sight shooting. I have been interested in a bolt-action .22 for greater reliability over most autos and possibly higher accuracy as well.
I plan to use the gun for mainly recreational target usage at the range (non competition), plinking, and occasional squirrel hunting. I've never ate a squirrel but Dad says they're good if cooked right and it seems like a LOT of fun.
I already bought a few different quality loads for the gun like Eley Match and Target and Norma USA. I also bought a 10-round polymer CZ magazine and a Romanian M69 training rifle sling (I've since read those slings aren't great but it was only $5).
I probably won't do a thing to the gun as I love the idea of the tangent sights being able to shoot all the way out to 200 meters (I assume meters not yards). Are those accurate? What type or velocity of ammo are they calculated for?
I will be sure to post pictures and my initial impressions and a range review once I have the gun in hand. Any recommendations, tips, or comments for a new CZ-452 owner are greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much for having me here everyone! :bthumb:
