    I have a CZ452, great shooting and accurate rifle.
    The factory trigger was an absolute donkey to use, but a trigger kit has taken out all the creep and lightened it to a nice, useable feel!

    I had a Heavy Barrell Savage HMR - sold it for a standard barrell HM2
    Didn't like the weight of the barrell - fine for sitting and shooting

    Hate the plastic stock on it though

    Next time would be a CZ or similar - wooden stock

    What kind of weight did you manage to get the trigger down to, and what kind of groupings did you manage to get?

    I haven't measured the pull weight on it, but its somewhere around the 2lb mark judging by my other rifles.
    It's always grouped around 1/3 to 1/2 inch at 100 yards...just much easier to extract that kind of accuracy out of it now that the trigger is sorted!
