Does any know if a retailer or sponsor have these in stock? Sold mine with another rifle and been checking with local shops and no one has an eta on them? Anyone know something about these from Timney or is just the same old supply chain issues again?
 
looks like they're 'behind' - maybe someone has one they're not using ??

I’ll put up a wanting to buy on the rimfire forum page thanks for the replies. I’ve never used a Yo Dave what’s the feedback from your buddy with them?

I have a yodave and a timney. Yodave is a huge improvement for I think ten bucks or so. Got it down to 10oz and crisp But it will be replaced with a timney this spring. I don’t think you can go wrong either way but the timney just feels better to me

I hope they can get them made for spring or can ship and fulfill the Canadian orders!

what don’t you like about it compared to the stock. I haven’t switched or tried the timney in my T1X because it had such great adjustment and the no creep at all. I did really like it in my Cz 457 compared to the stock adjustments.

Quite a bit of sideways wiggle and the stock trigger broke cleaner. I wanted a 2 stage but wasn't worth those downsides.

I've used a number of YoDave springs and they've been great/economical upgrades. (SUPER simple on a Tikka T1x, a trigger that almost doesn't need it) The 457 is a bit more involved, ships with a nylon-like block to make that job easier. I haven't installed mine. There is a YouTube video on it I believe, I'll be leaning on that.

I've installed 3 X Rifle Basix triggers over the years, but they don't offer one for the 457 yet.

Hey thanks for the reply I did install that spring on my T1X and super easy to do. It’s a little scary how light it is right now and haven’t had a chance to get out and try it. I did end up picking up a trigger from a fellow cgn’r on its way for the Cz.
 
I did try the Yodave spring on my 457, it really helps on the weight, but with factory trigger no way you can eliminate the creep. Replaced with the Timney and creep was gone, pull weight was on 9oz, which is on the same weight with Yodave , but no creep and breaks clean, is it worth paying $250.00 , hard to tell, I’m keeping the Timney since money already spent
 
Good day all. I am on the fence about getting a timney for my 457. Does anyone have a comprehensive guide to adjusting stock trigger to absolute lowest pull weight with as little creep as possible. Not sure of best procedure as so many different answers out there. Then I would like to try a properly adjusted stock trigger with light spring installed before I make a decision.

Cheers and have a great day
Chris
 
I'd agree that the YoDave spring for the CZ 457 is well worth it. As good as the 457 rifle is, the stock trigger pull weight adjustment range is pretty minimal, and it really does have a lot of creep and poor feel. The YoDave spring definitely gets the pull weight down even if the trigger is still so-so.
 
Hey Chris,

I spent a lot of time dicking around trying to achieve what you want to do and as Lever30 says, even though I managed to get the pull weight down, the trigger was still "so-so."
Bit the bullet, so to speak, paid the money for the Timney and while YMMV, I think it was money well spent. There are other options out there besides Timney but I can't speak to them. I went the Timney route because it's what my LGS stocked and they told me I could return it if I wasn't satisfied. I was satisfied and now have two of them on CZ457s.
