Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The CZ 452 is a versatile and highly regarded bolt-action rimfire rifle series that has earned a strong reputation for accuracy, reliability, and solid engineering. Introduced in the 1950s and built on a short-throw bolt-action design, the 452 family is chambered primarily in .22 LR, .22 WMR, and .17 HMR (on later variants), and incorporates controlled-feed bolt geometry that promotes smooth cycling, reliable extraction, and consistent lockup. The rifles typically feature a solid receiver drilled and tapped for optics, a well-fitted stock (ranging from plain hardwood to laminated target configurations), and a crisp, factory-adjustable single-stage trigger, all contributing to exceptional repeatable accuracy for a rimfire platform. With tubular and detachable magazine options depending on the model, the CZ 452 balances traditional bolt-action reliability with modern rimfire versatility, making it ideal for small-game hunting, plinking, and target shooting. Its precise machining, robust bolt, and consistent barrel bedding allow the rifle to deliver tight groups, even with standard factory ammunition, while the range of available barrel lengths and stock configurations gives shooters the ability to match the rifle to their intended use—be it fieldwork, benchrest shooting, or youth introduction to firearms.

The CZ 452-2E ZKM .17 HMR variant builds on this proven platform to meet the demands of varmint hunters and precision rimfire shooters who want the flatter trajectory and higher velocity of the .17 Hornady Magnum Rimfire cartridge. This version features a heavy, target-contour barrel designed to minimize vibration and harmonics, producing enhanced accuracy for small, fast-moving targets at extended rimfire ranges. The rifle retains the short-throw bolt and controlled-feed system of the standard 452 but adds a detachable box magazine, making rapid follow-up shots simple and reliable. The stock is typically a more rigid, target-oriented laminate or hardwood with a reinforced bedding interface, improving stability and shot consistency. Additionally, the ZKM .17 HMR comes drilled and tapped for optics, and factory-configured with precision aperture or micrometer-adjustable sights, allowing the shooter to fine-tune the point of aim for either iron-sight or scoped use. When combined with the high-velocity .17 HMR cartridge, this model excels at small varmint hunting and bench-target shooting, providing both the ballistic performance and platform accuracy that serious shooters expect from CZ’s rimfire rifles.
