CZ 452 not what I expected

[Rakk]

Trigger weight was checked with a scale,not a guestimate,not adjustable in any respect,a smith can replace springs,hone the sear,and shim the travel,but is this why you buy a new rifle?

My bad, I thought there was an adjustment screw for weight.

[tactice]

Tactice,after paying $170 for the addition permit,a sell/buy is an expensive option,about the price of a Timinny trigger,when the going gets-

True. Forgot you guys had such expensive permits

[bigfellascott]

Just put one of the spring kits in it and it should be a lot better, easy to do - takes about 10mins, I did my Brno mod 2 as it had a heavier trigger than I like so I bought a Lowey kit for it and it's a lot nicer to shoot now.

x2 Big Fella alot of guys use this rifle as a entry level Shiloute Rifle and alot keep shooting them for year after Sorry you feel it's a piece of crap but a close friend with more years of shooting than me (He's 67) had one the other day at Belmont and it was shooting 1 hole groups at 50 with center X mind you it had had a little bit of work but still it was a $700 rifle and it was Bloody Awesome

Gotta love the $15 permits in VIC

[Apollo]

Gee, $15.00 that's $15.00 more than I pay....

Some things in life are free....

[AusC]

I thought NSW permits were similar to WA? $170 or something?

Or is that not the permit fee? Some other fee?

Could be confused...

In TAS per firearm you pay $13.50 to the government and up to $15 to the dealer.

The state isn't as draconian as some think.

[petemacsydney]

that's because the money always stays in the family no matter who you pay in TAS...

sorry mate, couldn't resist...

Right. I was told by some bloke in NSW it was a lot more.

Obviously I've got some bad info. He's either making stuff up for getting ripped by his local.

Or maybe I got something wrong, anyway...

Now, no Chinese whispers, I didn't say it was a piece of crap. I've had a gunsmith work over the trigger and it's improved out of sight, now looking for a good day to poke some holes in paper. Bought a pack of Eley to add to my test ammo,

Be Safe BB.

If the Hulkster says it you know it's true.

I've just fitted a shim and spring kit to my trigger on the cz 452.

The task took no more than 1/2 hour including testing, the instructions were clear and well thought out for safety.

I ended up using the heaviest spring that the kit came with the kit and the second largest shim witch gave me 400 grams of trigger tention witch is just under one pound, that is as light as I am happy to go, any lighter and my worked hardened fingers dont have the feel to use it well. The shim I chose gives me zero creep but enough sear engagement to be on the safe side as the next size up still engaged the sear.

A few goog thumps to the but, and a bit of rough bolt cycling proved it to be safe.

The trigger feels as good as my worked Remington trigger now, atleast to my fingers.

[handofcod]

Just installed the Yodave spring and shim kit too in my 452. It's made a dramatic difference to the feel of the trigger. It used to have what felt like nearly a meter of travel before the sears engage. Now it's more or less immediate. Went with the second heaviest spring but may swap it out after some testing. Haven't had time to take any shots thus far, just dry firing.

[squirrelhunter]

Amazing how much better something as simple as a little spring can make your trigger pull.

My Ruger was a bit of a bitch to start, $5 spring and loving it.

After the trigger job, bedding and floating, using SK Rifle Match, this is the result.

Bench Rested at 50M with no wind.

Be Safe. BB

And the problem with this is?????

[Apollo]

That's funny...

My 1965 Brno Model 2 has the same problem with SK Rifle Match.... I can't get them to be all in the one nice round group. Alway looks like that Clover Leaf pattern...

[Westy]

Sk Rifle match is the only thing my 1712 likes, go figure??????

[petemacsydney]

my 452 prefers SK standard plus. slightly better grouping than the SK rifle match rounds

[portph]

Yeah, I hate when that happens

[Norton]

That's why you shoot big bore stuff.

You just fire 1 shot and you have 1 nice round "group"
