Answer from CZ:
Dry firing is perfectly fine in our rifles. If you look at the chamber, you'll notice that there is no cutout for the rim of the .22 cartridge. Instead, it's relieved into the boltface, making it so there is no way for the firing pin to damage itself on the barrel when dry firing.
I took my new CZ 452 bolt out and cocked it, finding the firing pin is below the face and good to go for dry firing. To confirm this I placed a piece of thick construction paper on the breech and dry fired the rifle. This confirmed the firing pin does not ping the paper, thus doesn't ping the breech face.
Definitely check your firing pin on your 452 before dry firing.
With my CZ 455, I conducted some quick tests with some thin masking tape and can confirm the barrel is not contacted during a dry fire. The rim is entirely seated within the bolt face when it's closed and locked, and the striker does not extend beyond that inset section when actuated.

I wouldn't do it deliberately, but it dose happen now and then when I go for that 6'th shot with my 5 shot magazine.

My Ruger American manual states it is safe to dry fire, I have dry fired it maybe a dozen times (when trigger weight testing) and there is no indication or marker to show that it is striking the chamber.

Y'all gotta check out this link (as above) from the cheese man...!!!...peterclark wrote:There are many benefits to dry firing. Learning is faster and can be safer with dry fire. It's easier to practice without developing a flinch. Dry fire allows shooters to practice in locations where they couldn't practice with live ammo. You can practice grip, drawing, sight alignment, trigger control, reloads, malfunctions, and more during dry fire practice. The technique allows people to conduct a safe, economical form of training to improve their shooting skills. http://bit.ly/2MLQQsL

Was coming around to the idea of dry firing the rimfire but not after seeing the Lithgow photos.
