a few buyers bragging about buying several, most likely to hold for a while and then sell at a big profit.
I bought 5 after selling off a bunch of dust collecting 39 A Marlins when we got tired of the lever actions and their unimpressive accuracy and the wife complaining about shooting them from a bench. I can still remember her comparing them to driving a manual shift car. All our GF"s except one were bought sight unseen and the wood varies from one to the other. Take a look at new Anschutz or Sako rifles and you will see wood from poor to some that are great and much more money than a GF CZ. I bought two of the GF's almost 2 years apart in two different states and they are consecutive numbers. I had the numbers from the first four memorized and knew it was a consecutive number with the third one I had bought. I didn't buy mine and my wife's GF's to make money later and all are scoped so they can get shot at the range except in the really cold months here. I have no safe queens here and don't plan on getting any. They were made to shoot and ours get their share of ammo sent down their barrel every year since we bought them. My first one has well over 5,000 rounds and several of the other four and not far behind.

There were a couple of limited series 452's, the Grand Finale's played out slow for some reason, myself and a local friend asked the LGS to order us one, when the two came in I was the first to come by. I only live about a mile from the store. We opened both boxes and I picked the one I liked best and purchased it, he purchased the other but wasn't happy as it was rather plain. He contacted CZ and sent it back and they sent him another which he was pleased with.

This is mine.

Not the fanciest but I'm happy with it. Oh and one of the nimrods here swore the black tips were only paint or stain on the stock, lol, there are a few tools on this forum unfortunately.

Maybe not the most fancy wood but I always liked the wood on this rifle. The only problem with this one is it may still need some bullets down the barrel to blow the cob webs out of it. Go shoot it!!! Show us your results.
