Hey all,

Thought I’d toss up some pictures of the pic rail I just ordered from them for my 457. They offer a stainless or titanium. Fit and finish is awesome. Best part is it’s made by a small company right here in the U.S.

I use the AREA 419 clamp on rails for all three of my CZ 457s. I had bought an aluminum rail from some else for my
Kimber 82G and it uses set screws to drive down into the receiver. That's not a huge problem because I put #8 lead shot under the heads to protect the gun. I still ended up with a BIG problem. The front of the aluminum rail is a little sloppy and it's cross section is very thin once you remove material for the Pic grooves and the dovetail. The net result was the front of the cheap aluminum rail was bending upward noticeably.
A couple of mm.

I just bought a Murphy the other day for my 82G and the fit to the dovetail was very close. I still had to put lead shot under the brass tip set screws
to minimize any color transfer but it is now a solid set-up. I couldn't see the logic in spending extra money on the Ti rail but am very happy
with my rock solid S.S. 82G scope rail. Truly I wish all rails clamped on like the AREA 419 but until they do..... Murphy it is.
BTW.... I had it in about 4 days.

To be clear, I'm perfectly happy using AREA 419 rails on my CZ 457s. They are less expensive, plenty robust and wont damage the top of your receiver. The 419 clamping screws never touch your gun. They reach across the top to provide a rock solid clamping action. I would also get a Vudoo bolt knob, Anarchy Outdoors extended magazine release ( longest made ) and an ACE #21 or #22 trigger shoe
for your 457.

Been several years since I dealt with them, but they were great about doing custom inclination rails as well.

If you had mounted your original 20moa Murphy rail and figured out a 43moa inclination is what you would want in a perfect world with your scopes travel from zero... They could get it done.

I used a scope with no zero stop on a 455 and attempting stupid distances with a 22lr.
Getting a rail that put the zero within a mil / few minutes of Max travel gives a pseudo zero stop and full usage of travel. (I suggest tracking test on your scope for full travel before you do this though / some really suck at extreme min or max travel) so with any scope that has over 100 minutes of travel you are looking at 500 yards worth of dialing if memory serves.

Fair warning though it won't make you shoot 22lr any better at those distances! Lol

It is funny to watch someone who's never shot over a hundred yards with their Magnum, ultra mag, etc finally hit a HUGE plate at 400 and start talking junk about their 4000 fps super mag and what it can do... Then you can go hit the same plate with a 22lr and wait for the FALLOUT
 
I have a stainless black colored Murphy CZ 455 rail. It is so much better than the DIP rails. It attaches much more firmly and with less damage. It is very stiff, unlike the thin aluminum DIP rails.

For centerfire, I used to use Murphy but now I use Near Manufacturing rails for my Rem 700.
