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.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.
synthetic stock painted?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!
Factory synthetic stock from CZ. It came with a 22LR stainless barrel, and I just did the 17HMR varmint barrel swap.synthetic stock painted?
They're stiffer then the pencil barrel they protect.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.
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.Using an Oryx on the old 452/455 action is a genius move.
