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 ???

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 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.

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 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!

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.

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.

I just got one at Riflegear (DFW). It's been on the shelf so long it was discounted. I'm waiting for a scope base. Can't wait to punch some paper! I have not seen to many on shelves but this one was there a bit too long. So far I love the stock. It wont be cold to touch like my metal frames (Vudoo). I already adjusted the factory trigger. It's very crisp!

TexasGunExperience has a few flavors too, online. They were not on the shelf at the store.

Where do you shop in DFW?. I do see quite a few CZ. They are a bit hard to get is what I was told by a store employee.

Nice score. I have checked Rifle Gear's website several times and haven't seen any MTR variants listed in TX or CA. At times they had other models like the At-One. If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay?
