I just purchased a new cz 457 american and im looking for some advice as to what scope i should mount on it? Curious to know what other gun nutz folks have on theirs! I dont have an issue putting on a good optic either so any recommendation is a good one and a picture to follow would be awesome!

Looking for plinking and shooting the odd varmint (gophers, etc)

Thanks in advance!

I always pic my scopes based on the discipline that I intend to shoot, might be better if we knew your intended purpose before we just make random recommendations
 
I just put a 4-12 diamondback on my 455 varmint. Mostly used for targets from 50-100 yards. It’s what I had. If I were buying new, it would be a 2-7 or a 3-9 or 10. Something a little higher end too. A swaro or a zeiss. Clarity trumps magnification for me.
 
keep it simple, 4-12 power is all you need for general target shooting, even 3-9, but 12-15 is almost a must if you want to shoot out to 100 yards on a regular bases.

I've gone up to 6.5-20 for general everyday use and hunting, target shooting sees scopes more in the 36-45 power on the top end, lots of options to chose from if your budget is generous, if looking for something budget friendly then have a look around for something with target turrets, cabelas covenent scopes are pretty decent when they are on sale.
 
Three theories . . . 1/2 value of the rifle, same value as the rifle and twice the value of the rifle.

Your standard hunting scope has the parallax adjusted to 150 yards. There are rimfire scopes adjusted to 75 yards.

There are adjustable objectives and there is side focus.

The new Bushnell 4500 4-16 has a side focus. Beyond that there are 2.5-16, 4.5 - 14, 6-26 and as Dave said 6.5-20.

Regardless, scopes are like rifles . . . you can never have just one. I have more scopes that rifles.
 
Regardless of what magnification you buy, get a scope with an adjustable objective, for a 22 most scopes have quite irritating parallax issues up close. If you're shooting outdoors, exit pupil is not a deal killer, it'll be light enough to work. I had a B&L (now Bushnell) 6-24 on a Brno Mod4 at one time - most folks thought it was too much, but the gun shot well enough to justify it.
