Wish now i bought one.I remember seeing them for 900.00
How About a CZ 452 Grand Finale Register...??
I have to believe everyone here loves looking at them, if not fondling or owning one (esp. in this CZ Forum!).
I have personally been wanting one since their release in late 2016. The LGS's were not getting them in. They were willing to order them and you just had to take your chances on what arrived. I was beginning to see that the wood was all over the place on the GF's, and I was just not willing to take a chance that I might end up with a dog, for what was, to me, a lot of change ($1095 retail, if I recall).
Seems the longer I held off, the more elusive they became..., then they dried up (sold out)! Then the prices started to take off on them. Purchasing one at retail was no longer an option! I kicked myself for not pulling the trigger and just ordering one. Seems like even the fence posts are now bringing high prices/high bids. According to the naysayers, these were going to be a flash in the pan and would someday bring, maybe what a guy paid for one, or even sell for a loss. I think they have been proven wrong.
Long story, even longer. I started my search for just the "right one". I am picky and have a huge affinity for High End Twenty Two's! My searches came up dry. I searched for 7 years..., looking for, "The One", and I think I finally found it! I knew I was going to have to bite the bullet and pony up a lot of that "change" I had been saving for one.
I think you might agree, this was the one!...
(Seller's Photos, I'll post some up later)
I have scoured all of the gun forums seeking out what others have scored and thought it would be nice to have one particular place to look (I chose this forum, as it is the most specialized and most popular), to share and even track what we have. Not only pictures but the stories behind them, and serial numbers, as well. Trying to put some time-line together on these. I know there are some that balk at the idea of posting serial numbers, but I believe it's a bunch of hooey. If it makes you feel better, how about 5XX, or 57X, etc.? Most of us post pictures of our guns and the serial numbers are clearly visible.
My Serial # is: 4520109. The 109th one made! 1st month of production…, 1st week..., I wonder?!
The included target shows it was tested on Feb. 24th, 2017. That’s some cool information. Perhaps, these were not even put into production until early 2017. I can't imagine these sat around for 3 or 4 months before being tested, and then sent out to the distributers. If you have the targets or original paperwork, this information would be valuable too.
Please post up those CZ 452 GF's, Grand Finales, I really want to see 'em! Thanx and another novella comes to an end.
Take Care, All,
Robert

Everything I posted is trueHere ya go Josh...
As you know, lighting is the whole trick. With my "one hand holds", it's impossible to get all of the nuances of the grain, etc. I wish I had a more professional set-up. People say the photos never do the piece justice..., So true!!
@Rnj66... yer post is pretty funny!
Nuff said...??!!
That grain is, even pretty much, a close match to the walnut... which is probably plastic.

Sorry, don't have time to post target date or serial number, but here are some pictures of my CZ Grand Finale. Not the best looking but it's one of my best looking rifle as I don't have many just a couple. I don't baby it like others on here, I hunt with it as it's a tool not to be look at for beauty but have to bring the bacon home.Nuff said...??!!

The best group I ever got at 50yds with this CZ when I was steady and shooting amazing that day. The rifle shoots better than me and when the ammo are consistent it can group amazing as you see in the pic below. I have switch scope from Weaver V16 to now Sightron Big Sky which is a better optics I think.
I agree with fourbore, why are you so concern about our serial numbers and worry about how many Grand Finale CZ actually produced? They say they produce 1000 and as long as you have one out of that 1000 rifles, just go shoot it and enjoy it. Life is too short to be worrying about what other people own, just make the most of what you own and enjoy it. I don't even pay attention to my serial number, as long as the rifle is beautiful and shoots accurate, it's a keeper in my book. I just bought a new Steyr Zephyr 22lr last year after reading and doing some research stumble across that 2019 rifle of the year and moa guaranteed. It was an expensive 22lr in my book just like the CZ Grand Finale, but I took the chance and ordered it anyway and love the accuracy on that rifle. Been using it last year and have killed lots of squirrels with it. The wood is not as pretty as my CZ but the ergonomic of these European design stock is beautiful and fits like a glove on your face. Remember, life is short don't worry about little things in life and wake up and smell the flowers around you.
