twerpymoon - Welcome to RFC CZ therapy group - you will find many others share your experience. I’m not sure of any sure cure at this point, but at least know you are not alone. Some actually have “itus” issues in multiple areas...but CZ is my clear leader.

 

I can finally say there isn’t a lot that still tempts me 😂 I started basic too and cz also opened Pandora’s box for me. Now I have a 40x repeater, mausers, Walther kkjs? Sako 78, Winchester 52c sporter….and about 5 czs. I love the fancy stuff but most of what I shoot are the czs. Love em.

 

Psst...have you seen the new 24" threaded barrel 457 in the MDT chassis?

Welcome, I hope your case isn't too contagious, my CZ collection is large enough...for now.

 

I have found that buying an Anschutz or Kimber or Steyr Zephyr II will temporarily reduce symptoms of CZ-itis. But make no mistake, it's just a temporary reprieve.

 

What about a Suhl?

 

Buddy , its a tough road. I didnt buy a CZ 455 Ultra Lux last week. And its gone now and Im jonesing🥵

 

The cure for CZ-itis is to start collecting BRNOs.

 

You found the right site, welcome to RFC

 

Only known cure for CZitus is personal bankruptcy. I'm not there. Yet. I hope.

 

Hi. I’m Al. And I’m a….rimfireaholic? I love the CZ’s, but I enjoy a fling or two with some cheap thing every so often. Bought a $250 Ruger SR22 today. But I looked seriously at a Varmint…maybe next time.

 

Hi Al. I know what you mean about stepping out. It's a quick fix, but I always feel, so, so dirty afterwards.

 

You know your in trouble. When you have CZ s that you haven’t even shot yet, but are still looking for others to buy.

 

That’s me ….. I have at least a half dozen cz/remington/winchester I haven’t shot yet except to function test. It all started with my first CZ 455.

Just think there was a time I was happy with my savage and marlins. One CZ and it was over, it started my quest for better built rifles and blued steel and wood rifles at that.

 

The struggle is real. 3 for me, so far, my venerable VPT in a Manners stock (winner of several local matches over the years), most recently I acquired a pristine MTRV that has already gotten off to a good start by clearing the ARA 25 yard online target here in the online match, and the "build" rifle, an MTR barrel, set in a KRG Bravo stock, that I have yet to test. All this to say, I'm always on the lookout for the next one now! 😁

 

Welcome. I like CZ’s too, only hand their handguns….

 

I have quite a few "high-end" rifles (I'm a wood junky) -- Anschutz, Coopers, Kimbers, Sakos -- but have the Brno/CZ bug bad (for a long time). I have four 452s, four 457s, and five Brno Model 1s. I do love them, and of those, there are a few I would not trade for another of those high-end rifles. There is a "feel" that they have that is very appealing, and that is especially the case with the Brno Model 1. The Model 1, IMO, is about the sweetest handling .22 rifle ever made; some others come close to that but not quite. Just my 2¢.

Gotta chase that dragon!

one is never enough and once you get a taste of that cz, you start jonesing for another. And another…..

 

Pro tip: Do not store your first CZ in a dark safe.

Why?

You'll open the safe one day and there will be three of them! The next day there may be even more!

 

I bought a left handed cz 452 american 22 lr. Im right handed .

 

PS67 sir not only do I have NIB rimfire CZs but 527s and a 550 FS that has not been shot. TM22 sir yes that is what happens. All I wanted was one different rifle other than my Marlin, Savage and Ruger rifles. I bought my first CZ a 452 FS in 22mag in Feburary of 2015 and got CZitis then bought one a month for the next four months ending in July of 2015. Then the 527s caught my eye. Now at 16 CZs. Still want more.

Twerpymoon sir we here will help you spend more money on rimfire than you ever dreamed of. I know I have and have loved every minute of it.

When you're spending more on a single round of special target 22lr then you'd spend on cheap 55gr 223, you know you have a 22lr problem.

 

I know you meant precision instead of problem 😂😂

 

Have owned. 14+ CZ's and still own the two most accurate.
They're great rifles and plenty accurate for most.
Would still own the other 12 if life didn't throw me a curve ball.
They feed perfect and eject perfect every time. Never had an issue.

 

I feel your pain. I have figured out after happily owning a couple of CZ’s that I need to keep my focus on other things or the CZ’s could become an issue. So luckily, every time I think I need to add a CZ, I find a nice Kimber to add to that collection….(sigh)

 

My only cure for rimfireitis was a Savage 110T in 6mm ARC. .6" at 100 yards with factory ammo. Then I thought "well I can reload for even better accuracy". Bigger scope, New reloading press, new powder scale (.01 grain), new dies, new extra parts. .4" at 100 yards. 5 different powders, 6 different bullets, new chrono, new target backstop.... Once the bug bites, no cure except $$$. Of course, somehow several new 22rf's have snuck into the gun safe.

 

 

I bought my 1st CZ457 just after spending quite a few hours working over the extractor & pusher on my 1st 40X repeater, trying to get it to feed & extract/eject smoothly with reliable function. I was so blown-away with how well the new 457 ran from the very beginning, without the need for any tweaking. Even though the factory bbl on that American was a stinker/lemon when it came to accuracy, I was so impressed/pleased with the action & trigger function that I put a lot of rounds downrange trying to break-in the OEM bbl and hoping all the time that the 'groups' would tighten up. I pulled that barrel and dialed the muzzle in so I could re-cut the fugly factory crown after taking a good look at it with the Hawkeye borescope. That helped just a bit, but after getting used to how well a couple of CMP 40X repeaters shot with the custom Benchmark & Krieger barrels I did for them, I decided the 457 American really needed a Shilen ratchet bbl, so went to work on that project. That wound up turning the 457 into a very nice shooting rifle, and I've never regretted putting the time, money, and effort into making the American shoot as good as it looks. Did the same thing with a 457 VPT when its factory bbl didn't come around after putting a brick or two through it. Now those two 457s will out-shoot a couple of really pretty Anschutz 54 sporters, and even give the Vudoos a run for the money.

I think that’s a key…people expect, for some odd reason, the $600 CZ to shoot with the $1200 rifles.

And they can…but you’re going to spend $600 on parts to put on your $600 gun so you’re $1200 all in, to get there.

It’s the same with Rugers. The base model Ruger 10/22 sucks, but if you spend $600 on a gun and barrel and trigger, it can actually shoot with the $600 CZ.

Expectations are a funny thing.

 

I started with a 452 super match. It’s still the only gun that stays out of the safe, hanging on my bedroom wall. That rifle got me looking at other cz’s and now I have seven of the dang things! Don’t try their handguns or you’ll be hooked on them as well!
