CZ 452-2E ZKM Lux .22 LR Bolt-Action Rifle, 24.8 in Cold Hammer-Forged Barrel, Blued, Walnut-Colored Stock, CZ-USA Import (1997 Proof)
This CZ 452-2E ZKM Lux is a Czech-made, 1990s-era .22 LR bolt-action rifle with classic European features and quality. Notable highlights include a 24.8 in cold hammer-forged sporter barrel, barrel-mounted tangent rear sight graduated to 200 m, and an integral 11 mm receiver dovetail for rings. It carries CZ-USA Kansas City import markings and a Czech rampant-lion proof with "97" indicating the proof year.
The Lux configuration pairs a blued steel barreled action with a walnut-colored hardwood stock featuring a schnabel forend tip, checkered pistol-grip panels, and a steel checkered buttplate with CZ medallion. An adjustable trigger and two-position, bolt-mounted safety add to its user-friendly setup. The front sight hood is not installed.

The 24.8 in cold hammer-forged steel barrel and blued steel receiver define the rifle’s traditional sporter configuration. The bolt features a recessed face and dual opposed extractors for positive extraction. An adjustable trigger and rear-of-bolt, two-position safety with a red index dot provide a familiar CZ control layout.
Sighting equipment is set up for precise rimfire work: a ramped front sight with a dovetailed blade pairs with a barrel-mounted tangent rear sight graduated to 200 m. The front sight hood is not installed. The receiver includes an integral 11 mm serrated dovetail for mounting rings.
The hardwood, walnut-colored stock balances well and includes a schnabel forend tip, checkered pistol-grip panels, and sling hardware (front barrel-band loop and rear swivel). A steel checkered buttplate with CZ medallion completes the classic presentation. Length of pull measures 13.75 in.
Markings include the model designation "CZ 452-2E ZKM" with the CZ crest, a CZ-USA Kansas City, KS import mark, and the Czech rampant-lion proof with "97" indicating the proof year. Capacity is 5+1 with the included detachable magazine.
