Where are all the CZ 457 MTR's ???

paraman1 · Sep 28, 2024

Just curious what is going on with CZ and why the CZ 457 MTR variants are made of Unobtanium? Outside of GunBroker or the occasional rifle on a classifieds somewhere priced for more than retail these things are exceedingly tough to find. I am the type that really likes to see something in person before handing over my hard earned money for it but that seems like a non-starter if you are looking for any CZ 457 in an MTR variety. Supply chain issues or what ???

PhantomWorks · Sep 28, 2024

Supply and demand. It's 'the coolest' 22 rifle at the moment and CZ isn't keeping up building them, which probably is good that they don't rush it and compromise the quality and reputation they built up.
I'm definitely with you on handling and checking out things in person, especially when it's not an exactly cheap item... Have checked a few non MTR CZ's out and their wood stocks are really nice, so the MTR won't be different there I'm sure!

I’d would think some of it is, that more and more people are getting into competitive 22 shooting, and the CZ457 is probably the best bang for the buck.

High demand, low volume. Keep watching, CZ is famous for shipping in 1 large batch instead of smaller runs. None for months to a year and then plenty around from different dealers.

Sign up for the Area 419 version they “build” they come in stock and are ready to go.

USMC22 · Sep 28, 2024

I got one on a whim when area 419 had their package in stock. It’ll shoot as good as my Vudoo. I think I got pretty luck with the lottery on it. I’ve had a handful and they’ve all shot “ok” to “well” but this ones above the rest. Might also check out MidwayUSA. I got my MTR Manner’s through them.

I actually found a 24" CZ 457 At-One at my lgs. Ironically he just put it out that week and he told me it was on order since 2021.

VFL1911 · Sep 28, 2024

As someone said above, they come in waves. CZ really gives the US all or nothing when it comes to getting their high demand rifles in stock. I remember earlier this year it was about a 2-3 month drought before the market was flooded with them for about a month before it was gone again.

You have to remember with the growing interest and rimfire and economic sensitivity to expense centerfire, the MTR is considered one of the most desirable rimfire rifles out of the box due to accuracy, reliability, and aftermarket support.

I just found one on Gun Broker and snagged it. Three days later my emails got blown up from every place that had a back order list I signed up for.

I saw GunBroker had them in stock to, for a day or so. I didn't get any notifications from any of (many) the businesses I check that with...

Is it just my eyes playing tricks on me or are they no longer threading the barrels?

Where are you located? The location in DFW never seems to carry any CZ rifles. Same story when I visit my family in Des Moines, IA.

Same with Scheels in Chandler AZ. Not a CZ in sight.

I got this email from Whidden GunWorks today. Looks like they have some coming in stock.

We have available the popular CZ 457 MTR rifles, the same rifle that shot our group of the week! We have bedded the stock on these rifles, adjusted the factory trigger, and inspected and borescoped all of these. These modifications are all legal for ARA Factory Class. The price is $999 and they aren’t on our website yet, so please email us at [email protected] to reserve one. Combine with our Ammunition Testing or CZ 457 Prefit barrels for even tighter groups!

I just picked mine up today. Ordered it from GunPrime last week while on vacation. Unfortunately, I was expecting rings today but they didn't arrive.

Current and future MTR owners - I competed with my new MTR in two matches this weekend. I had really bad cold bore shifts. 4 stages into the match on Satrurday, I started using a finger cot that I bought a while back, and it made a huge difference. There are videos and discussions about the effect of trapping the air in the barrel that has more moisture after live rounds are fired.

On Sunday, I put the finger cot on right after zeroing. I forgot after one stage to put it back on, and noticed right as I was readying for the next stage - and I had the cold bore shift, and missed the largest target on a KYL - hitting all of the others after that miss.

If you have a first round flier that is bad, try the finger cot. I am a 100% believer. Hoz and Shield sells a slick magnetic one. I used the simple one, and it worked great as long as you remember to put it on.

After waiting for several months to find one locally I finally took a chance and bought one off the Rimfire Central classifieds. I haven’t got to shoot it yet but am pretty happy overall. I will probably ad a weighted Arca rail to it but it already has everything else I would have done. Timney trigger, Area 419 30 MOA rail and it’s an MTR with a threaded barrel so I can put a can on it if I so choose.

Having trouble using the site?

Where are all the CZ 457 MTR's ???
