I have the 16in threaded synthetic American model. I really LOVE the stock. it does not have bedding blocks, it is very solid. The texture feels slightly rubbery, you get a nice grip. It weighs about the same as wood. Since the stock is hollow I made a gasket for it and it seals up water tight. turned gun into a survival rifle. holds a ton of survival gear including 50rds ammo.

 

Thanks for the reply. I was starting to think no one here had one!

So is the whole stock hollow or just the butt stock area? If you had to guess, how thick are the side walls? Honestly that's one of the things I generally don't like about most synthetic stocks, that hollow feel especially if they are really light weight?

Any flex in the forearm area? Thanks again

 

Only the stock is hollow. The forearm has 1 longitudinal brace and 6 cross braces. The action area is 1/2 solid and the other half has 6 braces. The complete front end is thick and does not flex. There is one on Gunbroker with a buy it now for 385. the rest o them are over 400. item #563210797. Best of luck.

 

Thank you sir. I'm going to go check out all of the gun shops in Lexington this weekend. A few of them carry CZ's so I'm hoping one of them has this model in stock to check out in person?

 

Let us know what you find in stock and where. I might need to make a trip to Lexington myself.......

 

The longer barreled non-threaded model is much more common and if you find one you could at least check out the stock.

Yup, hopefully I can find either model in stock to try one for my self. I don't mind a well done synthetic stock but I can't stand a crappy one.

I have a 16-inch suppressor-ready.
I'm no fan of plastic stocks, but this is one of the best quality synthetics I've handled.

Does not feels as flimsy as most & doesn't display ugly molding seam lines all over.

Also shoots decently, with & without suppressor.

That's good to hear. Question for you seeing how you run yours suppressed... What suppressor are you running and how well does it fit on the factory threads? Did you have to use any type of spacer? I've read CZ's threads on the suppressor ready barrel are longer than the standard .400 long?

Buds Gun Shop in Sevierville TN has 2 of the 16" suppressor ready models for 375.00. I almost bought my third CZ but I decided to just get the barrel for my other 455 syn. I've got a spectre on the way.

I didn't know Bud's expanded out to TN? I plan to stop by their Lexington, KY store this weekend but for whatever reason, I've never seen more then 1 or 2 CZ's out on display at that particular store?

I wish I lived closer to Whittaker's as I'm sure they would have all of the different models I'm considering (and at great prices) but that's way too far of a haul from where I'm at. Whatever I'd save on the gun I would spend on gas

Thread spacer

I have one and use Silencerco's thread spacer when mounting my Spectre II.

The rifle works well suppressed and has accounted for many squirrels and a lot of neighbor friendly practice.

 

The above posts are correct regarding the synthetic stock 455. I recently got one and it is shooting right alongside my 452 American in the walnut stock. Both guns shoot less than .5" at 50 for 5 shot groups.

Bought my 455 sight unseen and have been extremely pleased. The safety is easier to work than the 452 safety, triggers are comparable with the Ace spring installed in each, the bolt manipulation on the 455 was initially rough but has smoothed up considerably with 3-400 rounds. I liked it well enough to order a 22 wmr barrel but have not got a chance to shoot the magnum barrel yet.

YMMV.

I have one as well. And, it depends on which suppressor that you have as to if you need an O ring or washer. I have a direct thread suppressor and the threads are actually a little bit short for mine. I actually like the plastic stock. Makes for a nice light carry rig. Oh, and it is accurate as well. Mine likes Fed Auto Match in the 325 box.

One other thing about the 455. You can buy any 455 that you want, and just buy an extra .22 barrel. Find gunsmith that will thread it and just send the barrel in the mail to get it chopped to length and threaded. I did this with another 455 that I have. No FFL needed if just sending a barrel.

I'm curious, what suppressor do you have? I have a Dead Air Mask-HD (in NFA jail currently) but I checked with DA and they stated they do recommend a .40 thread length.

On that note, I also asked CZ-USA what is the length of the threads on their suppressor ready barrels and got an interesting reply that I will share with the class (with CZ's permission)...

We are transitioning our rimfires to all be .40" in length or shorter, but as a transition, models are still being shipped with threads like an AR-15: .46" long +/- .02-.04". A spacer would be required, which most suppressor manufacturers offer for cases such as this. You are advised to measure your threads on your rifle before purchasing a spacer, in the event it's not needed.

That wanted me to stress that they are still transitioning to the .40 thread length so basically right now, any suppressor ready CZ in stock at your LGS will probably have the longer threads but at some point in the future from now they will all have the correct .40" thread depth.

I'm the OCD/Anal type so I don't like the idea of having to use a spacer (even though I know its not a big deal) so I will either wait or get a standard model and have the barrel chopped and threaded to the right length.

That's good to hear. The Fed Automatch and CCI SV are my 2 go to rounds. I have also picked up a couple k of Gemtech Subs just to try out

Right now I'm torn between the Ruger American Rimfire (model 8334 specifically) or the CZ 455? Each has their pros and cons. The biggest pros for each (IMO) is the CZ has a changeable barrel/caliber design and is a little higher quality. The RAR uses the 10/22 BX mags which are much better then CZ mags IMO and has a better out of the box trigger.

if CZ would design the 455's to use the Ruger BX mags, I'd be in heaven!

 

Silencerco Sparrow on mine, could use a spacer but I haven't bothered.

Same here. Fits/works fine. Stock is fine as is. Added some epoxy in barrel channel and spray foam in butt to mine. Also own the RAR and prefer the CZ.

 

I just ordered this rifle yesterday to serve as a host for an element 2 in nfa jail. A friend of mine just picked one up as well and he is loving it. Here is a pic of the threads

Well I went down to some shops in Lexington yesterday but most of them didn't have much in the way of CZ's. Buds didn't have the exact models I was specifically looking for (CZ-455 American "Suppressor Ready" or the Ruger American Rimfire "Predator" model 8334) but they did have some other examples of CZ 455's and RAR's to check out.

They had a brand new, recent production 452 American with better then average wood. A couple of standard 455 American wood stocked rifles, a 455 American synthetic and a used 452 American 16.5" threaded model.

I was happy to be able to check out CZ's 455 American's synthetic stock in person to see for myself that you guys were right, It is a pretty decent stock as far as synthetic stocks go.

Getting to handle that one and numerous RAR models pretty much confirmed everything I've learned or assumed from the online research I've done and my own person past experience with both brands but unfortunately I'm no closer to making a decision?

Both models have some really appealing features and I'm sure either one will get the job done. Overall, I prefer the look, feel, fit and quality of the CZ over the Ruger and I really like that the CZ has a quick change barrel/caliber feature but I strongly prefer Ruger's BX magazines and prefer the RAR safety location too. Out of the box, the Ruger has the better trigger and is also slightly less weight and less expensive. The Ruger stock doesn't feel as good in hand but I do like its ability to change LOP and comb height.

This is going to be a tough choice for me. I'm kind of glad I have some time to mull it over.

 

Read lots of great reviews & compliments on his work
