CZ 455 or CV 452

[walker73]

I could do with some advice from anyone who has shot both of these rifles. In various articles, each one article has differing opinions but all give good reviews, but the CZ 455 has the “advantage” of being able to swap barrels from a .22 to a .17 if you so wish.

The purpose of the rifle would be the target version with the thumb hole stock, to be used in competitive 20m lightweight sport rifle, with the possibility of moving to 50m one day.

Assuming that I only need the .22 barrel, and I have no real need to interchange, what are the pros and cons.Ggiven everyone’s time again, what would you buy?

As a second part to this question, would the older barrels (pre CZ 452) fit into the newer thumb hole stock or equivalents.

Thanks in advance
