New production CZ457... for better or for worse?

Sounds like the previous owner neglected to pillar and bed that 455

Their loss, my gain.

I have heard others that have found the 600 did not live up to the standards set by the 527. I have yet to see and handle one. I am not super convinced that the 457 is an improvement over the 455. Apart from a few nice features; the shorter throw on the bolt, the slide safety, and a recoil lug (regardless of what it's made of) are improvements. The more up to date styling is just window dressing that could be made for about any CZ.

For me, i prefer the 457 to the 455, even the 452. Mostly due to the bolt throw. But i think its just fantastic. Trigger is also nice. My base varmint one just shoots incredible. I have 5-6k rounds through it.
