Anyone have any experience with the 455 and swapping barrels between various rim fires? As usual just my $.02 Paul K | ||

I just bought one in .22 Magnum about a month and a half ago. The accuracy was good for a factory .22 mag which is to say poor compared to the .17 HMR's we have been shooting for the last number of years so I ordered an HMR barrel from CZ. When the barrel got there the paperwork had all the usual "lawyer cautions" that the headspace should be checked and the barrel fitted by a gunsmith to the new rifle. Headspace was fine as was and the tech at CZ said that's just a warning. The barrel dropped right in and functions fine, took about 5 minutes or a bit less (duck soup). The .17HMR barrel allowed me to shrink the factory .22 Mag barrel groups from around an inch or inch and a quarter to between 1/2 and 3/4's at 100 yards (using a 4X12 Vortex scope, higher power would help an old fart like me shrink both barrels groups I'm sure). Mine is the heavy barrel varmint (.866 at the muzzle) and I like it very much. As an aside, I really wanted to see how accurate a .22 Mag could shoot so in a fit of total madness ![]() That's my experiences with the new 455 and I'm tickled pink with it ![]() "If a man buys a rifle at a gun show and his wife doesn't know it"...Did he really buy a rifle?
