Ohhh Myyyy

Owned one and sold it. I really like the 457 action and I always prefer iron sighted rifles. I have been enjoying a 452 lux for the past few years and thought the jag would be a nice upgrade. I think they have weighted the stock to counter balance the barrel on them. It felt very different from the 457 Canadian stock I also have. The front sight element is fibre optic which makes getting a crisp sight picture with a defined edge very difficult. They're certainly a quality rifle just not as much of a step up as an iron sighted shooter from the 452 lux for me. Shooting subs was very quiet and cb shorts were a whisper.

I have a 600 Lux with the same weird front sight and was looking at it thinking about how hard it would be to put on a proper globe sight instead. Beyond my skills as far as I can see though.
 
Ya.
Super cool
I would have bought one already if it had the same stock as the “premium”.
Im a sucker for a schnabel forend.

Another sweet option wud be a 24” with a full length mannlicher.

Not a huge fan of the fibre optics on my 16” scout either. Something a bit more classic would be preferred.
 
I've had this CZ 452-2E Ultralux rifle for some time now and it's the rifle I like to shot the most with iron sights , 28" + long barrel makes for an excellent combo. Mine has the standard front iron sight and have had no problems with it. This rifle cycles 22 short with no problem at all. Haven't seen any of the new CZ 457 with iron sights so not sure how it compares to my 452. As previously mentioned very nice and quiet when shooting.
I do have the CZ 457 American in the 22 mag but my 452 is always first out of the safe over everything for just fun shooting.
Good luck in your purchase.
