CZ 457

I hope you realize that's a phony store.
No I did not and really don’t think that’s on me to investigate and verify. My point is that they are available unless you are looking for a unicorn.

Here, for the Google impaired:



Or are these fake too? 😎

Does anyone know when CZ will be producing new barrels or rifles seems they have stopped supplying them to dealers
What specifically are you looking for? It's my experience that CZ shipments of 457 rifles and barrels seem to come in waves of relatively small lots. One model at a time. When they do show, there is usually a backlog of folks waiting to purchase and they go within days. ( Local dealer almost never get a chance to grab them.) I've signed up for in stock notices with several online CZ dealers and hardly a week goes by that something doesn't go in ( and out) of stock.

Finally got my new 20" Lilja barrel installed to match my other rifle with the 16", along with the Timney trigger.

Install was very simple for both. Starting with the recommended .043" headspace to begin with.
Just a heads up, I had major fail to extract issues, called Lilja and they recommended I go down to .041 on the headspace. That worked perfectly.

That barrel is incredible with CX from the lot I tested.
 
My 457, really accurate with SK Pistol Match.
I use it NRL/PRS style matches here in the UK.

The 16.5" At-One models are pretty common. You can find that gun for over $100 less if you know where to look. I paid $620 OTD for a new 24" AT1 last month. Try gundeals.com
I think I paid about the same for my 24" version too. Did some searching and found the gun dock had em. I *thought* I was getting a 20" rifle, but... I'll probably switch the barrel out at some point.

The KRG chassis should be here in a few days. Found that the At One isn't quite the right tool for the PRS job

Nice looking build, very few builds here based on the LRP version. Thinking of doing something with my LRP as well. What chassis is that you are using? Noticed it has an integrated ARCA rail on it.
It's a Chassis made in the Uk.
Not sure if he exports.
Not sure if I can post a link within the rules?
It's made by R and F sporting supplies. in the UK.
 
Anyone run into eye relief issues on their setups? My 457 in a KRG bravo with a Gen 1 5-20 Vortex Razor on an Area 419 mount has me scrunched way back when I'm shooting from the prone. Even with the scope pushed as far forward in the rings and with the rings set as far forward on the rail as possible.

I plan on replacing this scope anyhow since I just pulled it off my 6.5 for the time, anyone got some suggestions for something shorter or with more forgiving eye relief?

Can you get some butt plate spacers for the chassis

It's normal for prone to need the butt plate moved out ~3/4" or so from a positional setting. Your head is naturally closer to the scope in prone vs positional.

Use an extended scope mount instead of individual rings.

Am not familiar with the Area419 but have a Murphy rail which is extended 1.5", also have the Nightforce cantilever Unimount. This setup works for me using the Vortex Strike Eagle 5-25x56 and KRG Bravo chassis.

Random question.


Has anyone taken and stoned the bottom of the bolt to get rid of the engraved numbers to see if it smooths up the action?

Winter time tinkering. I love the 457 and all the improvements but I still think it’s not as smooth as the 452/455 actions because of this.

It doesn’t impact how the gun shoots or cycles really, just a little pet peeve.
Yes, first thing I did as soon as I racked the bolt. It was really horrible. I had a fine stone and it slicked it up beautifully.

I took my new CZ 457 out for the second time today. This is my first long gun and I couldn't be happier.

Clearly I'm the weakest part of this setup, but these are my best and worst groups at 50y and 100y, all with Wolf Match Target.

It’sa great Rifle. Try some SK std plus or rifle match in it if you can get some. Plus you will get better with it as you both get broken in a bit.

What could go wrong?
Was getting ready for a range trip and commented that my kit, ( Lilja barrel ) was not shooting a well as I was used to ( .5 MOA or better). Before I knew it "they" started to clean the rifle and ran a rod, jag, minus a patch through the barrel. They mentioned it had to be dirty as it was tough to push through the patchless rod and jag. Theoretically it should be fine, the jag and patch together are a lesser diameter then the barrel. I don't have a scope and haven't been able to shoot it. Still worried it damaged the barrel. I will clean it myself ( Boretech rod and jags) on Sunday. Hoping for the best. Thoughts?

You might want to read this article on cleaning 22LR precision barrels and stop using the rod. I would buy a $50 Teslong scope from amazon, it's a cheap tool to work on your $550 barrel and stop guessing why the POI accuracy falls off.. Have fun in keeping the chamber clean. https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/a-guide-to-22lr-barrel-care-for-the-precision-rimfire-shooter/

Seriously? A jag without a patch and its tight in the barrel? Was this done dry without cleaning solution (no patch to hold solvent)?

Who is “ they”?

And why are you letting other people clean Your rifle? I use a .20 caliber rod and jag combo for all my 22s, but I prefer to use a patchworm pull through set up with felt pellets…….hmmm, hold on a sec.

Eh, nevermind, gotta be phishing post and I got suckered. Look forward to hearing about your next cleaning session involving a hi speed drill motor with brass and stainless brushes
 
Good morning. Yes, a jag with no patch and completely dry. He said it was tight and had to push it through. "they" are a friend just getting into PRS. I previously walked them through cleaning barrel including soaking and brushing chamber. He is new to the process and I had to run an errand while he put gear and kit together for the range. Wasn't as if I was leaving kids behind with a stranger, but yeah, sorta feels that way now. As reference, I use the BoreTech rimfire specific rod and jags and cotton patches with Rimfire Blend clear and C4 carbon cleaner.

Anything is possible but I doubt one treatment of a soft jagg material on a hardened steel barrel with destroy it. That said, the only way to see if there is damage is to reclean it properly and : a) scope the bore and/or b) shoot the rifle. Everything else is just speculation and worry for naught.

Talked myself into a KRG Bravo for the (formerly) At-One a few weeks ago. Still haven't shot it yet. Was supposed to go today, but a freaking headache did me in. Heachache seems to have abated some, so I'm likely to go tomorrow.

Need to figure out an ARCA rail for this rifle. The extra-wide base makes the wobble go down while on barricades. The very nice KRG version has a beveled edge, but that's easy enough to do on a bench grinder.

The nice part about shooting .22 is that you can send a lot of rounds downrange without the cost of my 6.5 Creedmore

I am thinking the same. Hope to get to the range in a a couple weeks. I will keep the kit the same and use same ammo (SK Rifle Match).
Will post then.

I have Bravo chassis and was fortunate to find a used KRG Arca rail, The fit is spot on, and well made. Definitely solid and as such, the attachment process is more involved. Other makes may be a simpler install, though I would follow the KRG instruction to ensure it's on there right.

Quick question for whoever can answer. I picked up a 457 with a 20” heavy barrel but not sure if it’s just the varmint or the mtr? It’s just the barreled action so the stock not being there isn’t helping me ID which one it is…. Help?
