Sticky : The CZ / Bolt action rimfire picture thread !

[eco]

Need to add a nice bipod. Any suggestions?
It's 9.4lbs as is. Bit of a workout. Haven't tried yet, nor adjusted the scope.
Looked at the mdt acc but that one was over 10lbs without the scope!



10.3lbs with a magpul bipod

Using an Oryx on the old 452/455 action is a genius move. The chassis is so flat that you need to run high scope rings no matter what, rendering the 90° bolt throw a total non-issue for optic choice.

Thanks; less expensive action, same barrel selection. Unfortunately, the oryx is not made (I asked) for the 452, and the 455 does not fit the 457 Chassis. I love my very early 452, I still consider these to be CZs Apex .22.

CZ 457 in 17HMR heavy barrel. Are 419 pic rail and bolt knob, Vortex Diamondback Tactical topped with a DNT Zulus for video recording. Excellent gopher gun!

synthetic stock painted?

Factory synthetic stock from CZ. It came with a 22LR stainless barrel, and I just did the 17HMR varmint barrel swap.

 

[Every Shot Counts]

Just set-up a CZ 457 MTR for a friend where this will be his first gun ever and first time out at the range.
The exact same rifle and accessories as mine except with a different scope.

I installed the scope twice (the first scope was defective) and sighted it in the other day. I also cut out the Plano case foam for him.



And it shot pretty well after getting it sighted-in...5 shots...

Are the synthetic stocks decent on the 457's?
I'm looking for a 17hmr upgrade from my Savage 93G heavy barrel, it's decent, shoots alright, just kind of meh everytime I take it out lol.

CZ 457 Varmint LH installed in a modified XRS Chassis.
Calgary Machine shop has the cnc file to modify/inlet the chassis. Send PM for more details
Has not been anodized to match because i am an impatient person.

They're stiffer then the pencil barrel they protect.

Passed 10K rounds through my IBI/457 yesterday, still shoots.

As much as I loved the look and as comfy as the Thumbhole laminate stock was the comb height was too low for this scope setup and the forend was too short I found on some barricades in ORPS. So I set it aside (will be used when my son out grows his scout stock many years from now) and dropped the action into this MDT Oryx chassis. I will be Running open class next season.

I am going close out last two course of fires this season in production running my CZ 457 Canadian with a 3-9x40 SFP scope with a mil dot reticle (just think it be fun to try going ultra basic).

And of course I also have my sons CZ457 Scout.

Thanks for your kind words; I have put slightly higher Weaver steel rings on since that photo was take, as the Glades Armory bolt handle would just barely touch the scope. I went to medium rings, and it is perfect for me, with just a bit more lift on the cheek riser. I did have to switch to a flexible cleaning rod as the cheap aluminum one was a bit tight going in the YoDave bore guide.

 

[doughboy22]

I made some LoP spacers for mine with some off-cuts, thinking about installing an adjustable cheek riser next and refinishing it.

you have done I nice job cutting that foam case out. what was the process? looks very clean

 

[Jahnj0584]

Either its pick-n-pull or he used an exacto knife with a straight edge.

I lay the rifle on the foam and then use green masking tape and place it along the 1/2" x 1/2" squares that are cut into the foam by the case manufacturer.

I then use a utility knife with a new blade and cut along the existing cuts already there.

The optimal pest control tool for around the farm: cz457 synthetic with a 3-9x40 vortex scope and loaded with CCI Quiet. There are hundreds of walnuts and bitternuts on the property and the red squirrel numbers can reach plague proportions if not managed. They chew wiring in the cars and get into the barn and outbuildings and cause a huge mess. Ive had a few 22s for this purpose and this is the best setup ive found so far. Sqrls were used for bait so not wasted.
