Not sure if you will ever see this but from time to time DVOR offers for sale obscure things like chassis for a 452. I bought mine a few weeks back for around $180. I has receiver points that will take any 452 whether it be an American model with two attachment points at the receiver or the Varmint or other with an attachment point on the barrel. I have my short factory threaded barreled 452 American in mine and it was a fantastic decision. Really does shoot much better. The one I have is the first version. I have also bought the same MDT for my Anschutz Exemplars from DVOR.I missed out on the short run of 452 chassis that MDT made. Didn't realize it would be discontinued so quick. Anyone know of any place that still has them in stock?

Imagine what it could do with a Yo Dave kit, higher magnification and better conditions.Decided to put my 452 American in the MDT. What a difference the chassis made on this one. Below target was shot with a 3-9x 20 year old Tasco scope. The reticle covered up the dot. Trigger on this one is really crappy, I haven't messed with it yet. I'll probably leave this one just like it is.

My 452 and 453 Americans will do .400 under any day of the week with Wolf Match. I never used anything else their killer rifles. I looked all over for a chassis ended up building a RIM X.Imagine what it could do with a Yo Dave kit, higher magnification and better conditions.
My best 6x5 with my 452 American is listed in the 6x5 thread. It was with the original sporter stock. I have since bought a Boyd’s Pro Varmint (I thought that was my only option) and a Athlon Midas Tac for it, but haven’t had a chance to shoot it since. I was able to get a pretty nice trigger with just the spring and shim from YD.View attachment 7516631
Until you spend $10 on square bar at the hardware and build your own. Thank you COVID lockdown.That is the one draw back to the 452: no chassis options.

Now that’s interesting!
I’m so glad you posted this. I’ve been trying to find a chassis for a 452 American for a while. I knew that MDT had discontinued theirs. I checked and optics planet had One Black one left. Got it.Based on some of your posts here, I checked on Optics Planet and found an MDT chassis for my CZ 452 Varmint. The barreled action dropped in perfectly. Now, waiting for a buttstock, I'm anxious to try this out because I bought an MDT action for my Anschutz 1710 and it made a big difference in accuracy.
I luckily found an MDT chassis on Optics Planet, but I think I got the last one. Best thing to do at this point is to epoxy bed your wood stock. I found that stock screw torque has a large effect on accuracy. A little or a lot makes a big difference.That is the one draw back to the 452: no chassis options.
Older thread, but if you are using this chart and really preferred the 452 American, source a CZ 452 2E-ZKM Classic. 11mm dovetail, and the only difference in it and the American is the rear action screw style.CZ stupidly made the 452 and 453 American and certain calibers of the other 452 and 453 models with 3/8" US standard rimfire dovetails.
They fixed the problem with the 455 and now 457, where the 11 mm European standard rimfire dovetail is the only one used.
