    You're confusing the AGM with the actual matches we hold.

    Seriously though, a CZ 452 should be fine for lots of sporting rifle competition, including Silhouette and at least some of the Gallery events.

    Put some thought into what model your going to by the lux is designed to be used with iron/open sights and the stock is designed that way the american version is designed to be used with a scope

    I am really showing my ignorance here but whats the deal with shooting the CZ 452 - 2E ZKM SILHOUETTE without a scope ???
    It doesnt have any sights so i presume that it is near imposable to shoot accurately without one , right ???
    I was planning on getting a scope, just not straight away.

    Thanks

    Check out the CZ section there

    The american, varmint, sillouette and style models do not have open sights and can be only shot scoped

    You'll find that almost everyone in this country shoots with a scope

    If you want to shoot with the open sights then by the lux or one of the other models but they have a hogsback style stock (curves down) which makes it perfect for shoot with the open sights but slightly more uncomfortable for scoped shooting. You can buy a comb raiser which will do the job or the stock mightn't bother you at all.

    *A-Hem!* :D

    None of the ISSF stuff is shot with scopes except running target (and we don't shoot that in Ireland yet). All the pistol, rifle and shotgun disciplines are iron sights only.

    These scope yokes are just for checking where the bullet went after you fire the shot - anything else is just cheating ;):D
