There are still plenty of 452's available new. Bud's Gun Shop has the 452 Varmint Thumbhole stock for around $400.



I decided to go with a 25MOA base from DIP, Inc but the offset rings will work just as well.

I have had several folks laugh at me when I have told them that I like to shoot groups with my .22LR out to 300 yds. It's actually very doable with good ammo.
I have the same base, but it's not enough for 400m. At least with my scope. So I'm adding offset rings on top of it.

A lot of people underestimate the distance you can accurately shoot 22LR. It's easy to impress people in that regard.

It might be the use of subsonic vs. high velocity. Subsonics are far more accurate out to distances because crossing the speed of sound barrier twice tends to destabilize the bullet. Though I was recently shooting with friends and they were putting Win 555 bulk out to 300m with an old M69.
