The wood has a high-contrast fiddleback over about 95% of the stock, just fading a bit towards the toe. It also has some nicks and dings (and "issues" with bluing on the barrel) from the raw wood used in their racks. Here's an attempt to give a better view of the walnut.
But since they've discontinued the 452 line (and probably the slightly-more-deluxe 453), I felt this rifle needed a new home just so it could be admired for its gorgeous wood, and the ability to put tiny little holes (.22 starts to look like "big bore") into tiny little groups. It will be getting the same scope and sling as its "big brother", the CZ453. It doesn't have a single-set trigger like the 453 does, so I may look around for an aftermarket target trigger. You can do a lot of adjustments to the stock trigger, but some idiots have set things so light that the rifle could fire by you just touching the bolt handle. That is not the way I do business.
And I must have caught a touch of Sig-phoria after (finally) getting my swine flu shot. Not only did the new magazine followers arrive to complete my upgrade of my three Sig P229 magazines, but three more Sig .22lr magazines arrived in the mail, bringing the total to six, a bit of overkill for a .22 plinker. So I went online and ordered three more upgrade kits, and I'm still trying to figure out when I ordered these mags, since they came directly from Sig, but there was no paperwork with them.
Maybe that's how the magazine fairy works nowadays.
