That American has gorgeous wood on it. Any idea on availability?

 

[Sakoman .308]

This is exciting news. I look forward to shooting one!

Safety is forward for fire, that's one of the things everyone was asking for wasn't it? Plus the shorter bolt throw.

 

[Mike112288]

Oh nio. That long barreled one is too nice

 

[CaptainHook]

Bolt-clearance still seems pretty mediocre, given the scope rings.

Either way its probably a tack driver.

Lol I was going to bet someone would say that.

Looking at the 1st pic, the action of the 457 is thinner than the 455.
Not a good sign IMHO

I knew someone was waiting for my comment

Cheaper, faster. I'll stick with my 452's thanks.

Do you mean the diameter of the 457 receiver is narrower than that of the 455? How can you tell?

I was refering to the thickness of the wall at the ejection port.
Looking at the two receivers at the top of the picture (overhead view). The top one has a thicker wall than the other. To my eyes it seems so anyway.
Looks like they did cut a chunk of metal each side of the receiver where they stamped "CZ 457".

Ha me too but always willing to look especially CZ

Maybe just for weight reduction ? I would agree it does look thinner, but I mean its a 22lr...

They sure are producing some nice rifles the past couple of years, it sure makes it tempting to get another.

The left side of the actions look about the same thickness. Think of if one slices kielbasa diagonally, how it appears much thicker than a perpendicular cut... could just be the angle the ejection port is machined. I dunno, but I've got the bug to do a custom build off a 457 action! You guys think too much about the action design... didn't ya see what I did with a Cooey? My Remington 597? (a super thin walled receiver if there ever was one). A mm or two off the action thickness ain't gunna break the rifle... The real question is "have they stepped up their QC on their barrel making?" Everything else about the 457 looks good in my eyes, and I guarantee they'll shoot lights out with a custom barrel plus a couple mods (bedding, ignition fine tuning, etc...). The only way these rifles could fall short is if they keep chambering and crowning with tools duller than butter knives
