Hello. I was wondering if anyone who is a smith, or has some knowledge of inlet can help me. I have a CZ 455 with a heavy varmint barrel, in .17 HMR. I don't love this hunting style stock. I found a used CZ 457 MTR stock. I know that the inlet is different for each rifle, but would it be relatively easy for a smith to re-route where need be in the MTR, glass bed where necessary to accommodate my CZ 455 action in the MTR stock?

If it's something that can be easily done, what would something like that cost?

If the cost is more than a new stock, I might just as well order a Richard's Microfit stock with a %99 inlet "press fit". The stock obviously might need some minor work to inlet it properly, and finishing of course.

I was just curious. — Thanks.

Converting a 457 stock for use with a 455 is possible but not something that can be easily done. Condider a Boyds stock for the 455 barreled action.
 
Thanks for the reply grauhanen. I'm being a bit too picky I think. I like the Boyd's stocks, but what I really want is something that's built like an F-class stock. A custom stock is way too expensive for my needs, but I love how they feel when you sit behind them. I found this one at Richards Microfit: https://richardsmicrofitgunstocks.com/content/uploads/2020/05/BenchRest_TheDesertSun_HSide-scaled.jpg

They offer a "99%" inlet for the CZ 455, and only 96% inlet for other actions. They require some work, sanding, finishing, and probably a little bit of inletting work.
