why the steel magazine? just curious.
I have only used the polymers but they are the most reliable rimfire mags I've ever used in bolt action 22's.

i figured the steel ones would be better. heck if these are just as good then i'll just pick up a couple of extra of them then.

i actually picked up some poly mags for for my soon to come in the mail CZ 455, according to many folks the poly is highly regarded, even more than the steel.
i myself am a stell guy too, however after looking at the poly mags, they are really built well.
can't testify to the operation of them as my 455 is still in process of getting here.

The poly magazines function well.
Only problem is the rate of fire when using one.
Found that the single shot 22lr adapter from CZ saved money
and improved my accuracy by forcing me to slow down my shooting.
A worthwhile purchase for your 455 also. Only thing to watch for
is over tightening the rear mag housing screw, the screw that
holds the bolt guide in place. Had the rear housing mount split
even though only 10 inch lbs of torque was applied. A weakness
when using plastic for a mag housing. CZ-USA replaced it, no charge.
Talking to customer support at CZ-USA, one of the gunsmiths
recommended not using the torque wrench on the mag well screws.
Tighten until the well makes contact with the receiver
then 1/8 turn more. If the plastic starts to distort, it's too tight.

DIP makes an aluminum mag well housing. Probably a worthwhile investment.

So i got to take the CZ 455 out to break her in and fire it. ended up shooting over 500 rounds with it. I can't believe how nice this rifle is. at the end of the day for fun we were shooting thumb tact's at 50 yards stuck in a board. I was shooting a golf ball at 100 yards with ease. I am going to clean her up and take her out again very soon.

I would be worried about galvanic corrosion with aluminum on steel. If they had a steel one I would probably get it. Too many places using aluminum because it is faster/easier to work.

the mag well housing appears to be treated idk if its phosphated or what. but its not in the white. Not to mention the bearing surfaces dont rub against each other once mounted.
Just the mag in the chute. I think its pretty safe

Which version of the 455 did you get? The American and Varmint sound pretty nice, you can switch between a few different barrels (17HMR and 22LR).
