Default CZ 452 Grand Finale

Pretty fancy 452 and quite collectable i would think.
Cz always seems to find a few more 452's to sell and the price does climb with each run. This is marketed as the last of the last so who knows...

Yeah those look really nice. For me the problem is I would want to shoot it but it is probably a shame not to keep it mint. Lol

Nice but IMO a bit steep at $1200 US.

Here's mine. I figured if I'm going to have a 452, it may as well be a nice one.

For those that know gun values, will this gun hold it's value at that price. I agree seems pretty steep.

Buy one if you like the product .
You ain’t gonna get rich holding onto it for 40 years.
Look at the Winchester Commemeratives.
I like CZ, but not $1200.00 like...
A older Sako FinFire would float my boat over this.
Even though the CZ is a pretty Rifle.

I'd love to own one, but once up in that territory $-wise...some doors open to other options that out-shoot CZs. I know this "Grand Finale" is a dolled-up 452 American, and to CZ lovers like myself...it's awfully tempting "just because". However, having a limited budget like I do...I have to "get" allot more if I'm spending allot more simply to justify the purchase. Were that not the case, I'd have one already.

I hope those that have them shoot them lots, and post photos here. To me, they're among the nicest-looking factory 22s made.

This is one beautiful rifle. For those wanting a 452, but lacking the cash to get this puppy, you can stiĺl get a 452 Lux for $600 plus tax. Got mine in High River a couple months ago and it was ordered in from supplier.

Stock is nowhere near as nice as the tribute posted by propliner.

I was very tempted to buy an Anschurz over the Grand Finale and had some regrets after I ordered it. As soon as I opened the box, I knew I made the right choice. An Anschutz can wait.

I thought they quit making the 452 about 4 years ago. I rushed out and bought a left hand 452 in 17 hmr cause I thought they were only making the 455.

That's a very good point. I did the opposite however, and would again...but modern-production Anschutz rifles will probably be easier to getting the long(er) term.
