I have owned various CZ452 in years past but not looking to spend that sort of coin now. Thanks for any suggestions.

For instance, this one was covered in grease, both inside and outside. That is, the barrel and action had to be degreased as well as the mating surfaces of the stock. The bore was chock-a-block with it and thankfully, I took the precaution of having the owner poke a rod through minus the jag/patch. There were just enough specks of bright metal in the grease on that rod, to make me think my caution was justified.
I don't know what sort of groups the owner got but apparently he was satisfied.
p.s. bigpete's comment about the action applied to this rifle too

How did you go about getting all the grease out of everything?
