I started some ammo testing and to my surprise SK Semi Auto has been best at both 50 and 100yrd.
Both 10 round groups.

Could you post a picture of the magwell area? Is it a full size cut out or cut for the small CZ mags?Ha, I have one on my B14R as well, though I am selling the rifle.
I really like these XRS', this one is no different. I think they could have flared the magwell a little more but it is still pretty easy to find. I also have the AO Extended Mag Release so having that as a reference probably helps.
Search some apoxie sculpt moldong paste. I believe it’s also black.Looking for ideas on how to add some "girth" to the grip of the 457 Pro Varmint stock.
The KRG Bravo seems about perfect for me with a width of 1 7/8". The Pro Varmint measures 1 9/16".
I'd like to add some bulk to the grip without making it look horrible at the same time.

Mold-‘dong’ paste? That’s black? What site am I on anyway?Search some apoxie sculpt moldong paste. I believe it’s also black.
Ordered a roll of the 3M vetrap in black. I wanted to put some of that around the front area of my scope anyways, so 2 birds with 1 stone.You might be able to build up the area by wrapping self adhesive medical tape (Coban / Vet tape). It can be found in a multitude of colors. Its inexpensive so you can experiment. It's easily removed without leaving any residue.
Thank you for the heads up on them ordered a couple 10 rounders and got them in three days, got another in stock notification and have two more arriving today along with a couple 20 round Okay AR mags. Impressed by them so farWTF?!?I picked mine up from Black Market Arms for $27.95. They’ve had them off and on for the last couple weeks.
I found an extractor spring here:Anyone know any place that sells 457 small parts? Shopczusa dot com has been out of stock on everything 457 for a long time and there’s nothing on eBay.
I’m looking for an extractor and extractor spring.
Numrich for the win!!!!I found an extractor spring here:
Extractor Spring, New Factory Original
CZ 455 Extractor Spring, New Factory Originalwww.gunpartscorp.com
Hey, thank you!I found an extractor spring here:
Extractor Spring, New Factory Original
CZ 455 Extractor Spring, New Factory Originalwww.gunpartscorp.com
I’m honestly not sure about the extractor and spring, though they look the same. There are many shared parts between the two, I’m just not sure about the bolt assembly since I’ve not had them side by side.Hey, thank you!
do you know if the 455 and 457 parts are interchangeable?
Thanks, that’s great info. I guess I’ll be giving them a call.I contacted CZ a month ago and asked to buy an extractor and spring because of extraction issues. They are sending them as warranty items. I got the spring yesterday, the extractor is still out of stock.
What trigger did you use? I'm still waiting to hear from Mr. Scaramuzzo about my turn in line to get one of his two stage triggers.Finally joined the club. Here’s my LRP. Got the cz aftermarket triggerguard on it. Vector taurus 5-25x56 with low rings. Cant wait to take it to the range!

When did he say he changed triggers?What trigger did you use? I'm still waiting to hear from Mr. Scaramuzzo about my turn in line to get one of his two stage triggers.
Whoops! He said triggerguard. My bad!When did he say he changed triggers?
I’ve been waiting also, ever since I first heard about triggers by Scar.Whoops! He said triggerguard. My bad!
Do you have yellowish spots on your stock? I hope yours is fine.I only have about 200 rounds though it yet but so far, I’m enjoying my LRP. The accuracy seems good but I’ve only shot CCI SV and SK Standard Plus so far. I don’t have a rear bag or anything particularly stable so there’s probably a lot of room for improvement with a rear bag, more rounds down the pipe and better ammo.
I have the ProVarmint stock and I've never liked it b/c of the difficulties with cheek weld. Looked at a KRG, but not enough cheek riser height. I bought one of the kydex adjustable cheek risers which arrives this week and I *think* this should do it b/c I can choose exactly where I want to drill the screws with respect to top of comb plus it's up to 1.5" of rise so way more than I need, but enough to get what I want. Only thing I'd like different after that would be a truly vertical palm swell like the MTR stock, but I can live w/o it until I chance onto a smoking deal....it's a want not a need at that point. I'll update once the adjustable riser is in place:Will someone help a guy out, I need some opinions
CZ 457 in the Manners stock, and adding some form of cheek riser
or...
CZ 457 in the Pro Varmint or At-One stock....selling the Boyd’s stock....and dropping the barreled action into a KRG Bravo. I’m just not a fan of Boyd’s
Use will be a just for fun range toy, both close range and long distance...may have some just for fun matches with friends/family, but no actual competition like NRL22 or PRS
Help me spend my money lol
I don't "yet". I say "yet" because I've heard that oils, greases and other chemicals on your hands stain the rubberized coating. This can even be from the lubricant on the bullets.Do you have yellowish spots on your stock? I hope yours is fine.
I just went back with mine it has some yellow comming thru the gray coat.
I think it’s because of the berk stock being not dry (yet), and when you touch it your grip pushes out the moisture. Im looking into getting an MDT acc chassis for mine.
I have one that you can try out Wednesday if you like. I’m also having a cheek rider issue since I added a rail to it, but otherwise really like the stock.Guys I'm really wanting to put my 457 in an MTR stock. Looks like there isn't quite the radical drop in comb like my ProVarmint....if you would care to comment on your fit with it I'd be grateful please b/f I begin my search. Buddy has an old Anschutz with a similar style stock and the palm swell/vertical grip and cutout are so comfy. I'd be pumped to find one, but not being able to put hands on an exact MTR to try I'd be grateful for your opinion. Thanks

Wow thanks can't wait! My 2 bolt kydex shipped out today so it won't be here to look at, but sounds like you are looking at one that doesn't require drilling. See ya WednesdayI have one that you can try out Wednesday if you like. I’m also having a cheek rider issue since I added a rail to it, but otherwise really like the stock.
While on the subject, does anyone here use a slip-on or strap-on cheek riser for the MTR stock? Maybe even one that has an additional bit of butt pad length?
If I end up getting an MTR stock you can let me mess it up first then try itYeah, the kydex ones are the quickest and easiest way to do it, but that is such nice walnut that I hate to screw it up right away.
Deal.If I end up getting an MTR stock you can let me mess it up first then try it
Exactly. I find myself shooting prone with the stock short of my shoulder. It’s not ideal, but maybe I’ll just have to get used to it.There is a guy on YouTube that runs a titan universal cheek riser on his. Still looks pretty good. May try one on mine. My main issue with my MTR stock is the length of pull... it's fine for positional shooting but too short for prone. I could use another 1/2"-1". Pretty much the same on all CZ stocks though.
I’m going to check that out. If it doesn’t work, I’ll just add it to the pile of things gun related that set about unused. I know that I’m not the only one.There is a guy on YouTube that runs a titan universal cheek riser on his. Still looks pretty good. May try one on mine.

I think it is a good step up for you. I was shooting a pretty accurate Savage MkII and then shot the CZ457. Bought one that next week. You can still use the CCI SV with great results, but maybe will get even better results with better ammo.Gents,
Please forgive the naive but sincere questions:
Is the 457 really a huge step up fro the Ruger American I am currently shooting? Because for $500 (varmint model at Bud's) that's a step I could make.
I shoot CCI standard velocity mainly, but run some golden bullets when hunting. Any issues here?
@Booner1334, are you able to run a normal-sized (30mm or 1" body and 40 ish mm obj) scope with the 11mm rings? Good source of supply?
Does the rifle ship with a rail?
Thanks and God bless America.
I have the CZ 457 MTR which I use to shoot ARA Factory Class.For any of you who participate in ARA Factory Rifle Class Matches, which version of the CZ 457 are you using? Also, can you describe the modifications you've made, if any?
Thanks very much!

The rifle I shoot with in ARA factory bench rest is a CZ457 MTR.Gents,

Except, maybe you like the MPT and the wood, so…For $300 you could buy a bravo chassis or an oryx or an at-one
Nothing wrong with it but for $289 you could get a lot more for the money. You will probably have to spend more to get pillars and bedding just to get to the same level a chassis is already at.Except, maybe you like the MPT and the wood, so…
You can’t list it in the PX.Nothing wrong with it but for $289 you could get a lot more for the money. You will probably have to spend more to get pillars and bedding just to get to the same level a chassis is already at.
I’d offer to sell you my mtr stock but I’m pretty sure it’s against the rules. Very good price though.
Hahaha, no. I already own a CZ457 in an MTR stock and it does not need pillars and bedding to shoot lights out. Plus I generally don’t like chassis anyway. You can keep them.Nothing wrong with it but for $289 you could get a lot more for the money.
