The CZ452 is one tough little rifle(forged steel receiver, and cold hammer forged barrel). I highly doubt that you could hurt it with any 22lr offerings.

Yeah, I don't know for sure. And I've never shot that ammo, no use for it. But I would think if any .22LR rifle out there can handle it, the CZ452 can.

If I remember correctly, it is not the power of the round that hurts it. The stinger has a longer case then a standard 22LR and this is what causes issues. I know there are some barrel companys what specify NOT to use the stinger as the barrels have a tighter tolerance "match" chamber which was not ment for the Stinger round. Somebody please confirm this info.

Should be fine, but I can report that it isn't the most accurate ammo out there.  They sure do zip though!






I mean if you need the extra distance on something the size of a large chuck, it may be fine to score a hit, but they seem to fly all screwy out of my .22's.




As has been said, if anything out there can take it, the 452 can.   There is no precaution in the owners manual to NOT fire stingers, so if anything ever did break in the 5year warranty, you should be GTG.

hyper velocity 22's like the stinger  have a deserved reputation for less than stellar accuracy.

Not for me. I have been using the Aguila Super Max 30gr HP's in my pre accu trigger BV MKII for about 13 years for hunting small game. They are better accuracy wise than most HV Ammo out of my rifle. I've taken squirrels from 10 to 85 yards(all head shots) and probably even further with this round, they are fine as long as you use a bolt action rifle. I plane on using them in my 452 American as soon as I'm done with this 10/22 build, that's where all my money is going at this time.
