I have the same CZ457 in 22WMR with a vortex 4x12.This is an extremely high quality rimfire.The Turkish walnut on mine looks like a high end rifle and all the hype about CZ rimfire accuracy isn’t no joke!Best rimfire I’ve ever owned!!!

I have a cz 457 lux here in south Australia running a vx freedom 2-7 Chosen specifically because it is made in America All the best my American friends and good luck God knows you need it 🇦🇺🤝🇺🇲👍

Y'all get the best 4x4s Down Under though, so decent trade-off 👌 😏 I'd love a Toyota FJ70 diesel

Glad to hear that they heeded the recommendations to put the steel trigger guard on the rifle for that kind of money. I have the 455 and they are truly gorgeous and well built rifles!

I bought this rifle today, in 22 WMR, with the 24 inch barrel. I put the only scope I had laying around on it, a 40-odd year old Bushnell "Sport View". It took only 10 shots to sight it in, and then I shot it 5 times at 100 yards, 3 times at 50 yards, and twice at 25 yards. You can cover all 10 holes with a quarter! I zeroed at 100 yds, then shot 1/2 inch high at 25 yds, and 1/2 inch low at 50 yds. This is the most accurate rimfire rifle I have ever shot/owned. I have an old 3X9 variable Leupold VX1 on a .308 Winchester that I never shoot. I thought about putting it on the CZ 457, but heck, it is pretty close to perfect with the old pice of crap Bushnell scope! Good review, sir!

The 457 is a great and best looking CZ rim fire gun in CZ history. I have one in 22 WMR, planning to get a barrel kit in 17 and 22 LR for it

22 Winchester magnum is one of the worlds most useful cartridge. Majority of hunters don't even know it. Hits way above its head.

Two Desert Dog videos in two days, doesn't get better than that! You answered all of my questions on your accessories. I've had great luck with the VX freedom series also. That is a beautiful rifle. Have a great weekend!

Well you said to wait and it was worth it. Great write up, I started checking on the CZ last night based on your comment. I appreciate the detail on scope and rings, very helpful, it looks like I may go that route, and I really like the idea of changeable barrels. Also, from the videos I watched, the difference in terms of accuracy between the CZ and Tikka was negligible, both far better than I am. So, again, thanks.

Follow up - bought the 457 with both .17hmr and 22 LR barrels. I've shot the 17 on the range and in the field at ground squirrels. It was spot on shooting at the range and deadly on squirrels out to about 140yd (the area we were in wouldn't let us shoot past that safely). I put a Leupold V-X Freedom CDS 4-12x40 with Tally rings on it. Next up 22LR. Again, thanks for the review of a great little rifle.

just picked up a 457 in 17 hmr. planning to have it threaded 1/2x28 so i can run a rimfire can. super excited. great video and information here thank you.

Love my CZ 457 Premium rifle. Gave my CZ 455 to my son for Christmas and missed it almost immediately. The 457 is a beautiful, functional, and extremely accurate rifle. Highly recommended and a great value for the money!

Sweet looking combo. Got me checking out the Chech sling looks pretty kool . Love my 457 and I also had the 452 and 455. Got my eye out on their rifle in 6.5 Grendel but not the heavy varmint model the regular one for deer hunting in Florida is more than enough.

Nice review Desert Dog. Have the 455 varmint in 22LR and the 457 varmint in 22 WMR. The LR shoots fairly consistent .4" 50 yard groups and my best group was .29" with bulk Browning BPR high velocity ammo. The WMR isn't quite there yet, but we'll see. Both guns are keepers.

Love the look of the CZ. Thanks for a well done review. 👍👍

god I love the brand CZ had a model 2 Brno was the same brand in Australia ans that thing shot so accurate I also had a leupold on it back in the 1980s and shot many rabbits doves and other animals with it fantastic accuracy on a sporting rifle and you're holding something that well made ....I cant thank god enough that these company still holds high standards for rifles man its a good thing these days 👍👍

Nice rifle. I sold quite a few 452's & Scout models when I was a gun counter guy. Guess they are upping the game. I currently have a Norinco JW15 -13 (13" Barrel) copy of the CZ, it shoots really well too. That Leupold is looking like a great match for any decent rimfire. Thanks Mike

Love my 452. Very close to my Cooper in accuracy using CCI mini mags vs Tenex for the model 57M.

I just picked up the American in .17HMR. Nice gun, light but still solid and the action has a great feel. Looking to harvest some snowshoe hare and I can’t wait to use it. Thanks for showing the barrel change in real time too, I was debating picking up a .22LR barrel for plinking and this just ended the debate. So easy to change. Maybe a bull barrel, suppressed with an appropriate stock? A little trigger work…. Just a few things.

Thanks for the review. I'm picking up the left-handed version soon.

I love the wing safety on the 455. I did some bolt and trigger work on my 455 and nobody has felt a better action after trying my 455. The 1/2" 100 yd groups are nice too (with 22lr).😁

You should try the 17 HMR if you should have quartering troops you're going to cry because it's that accurate very seldom do you get a group as big as a quarter inch

I agree, I have it with barrels in 17. HMR, 22 WMR, 22 lr. It's one of my best rifles.

What an awesome rifle. Makes me kinda wish I spent a little more when I got my Savage 93, can't complain too much though its light and shoots well. I use the Leupold Freedoms on my predator calling rifles, they are hard to beat for 199.

Good review, Desert. Can't wait to get my 457 scoped up. I ordered an Athlon Neos 4-12X40 w/BDC 22 LR reticle. We'll see how it pans out......

My 455 17hmr shot 5 shot one inch @ 100 yards out the box...its accurate. Safety is tight, i polished it down to make it slide easier, a bit of metal removed. Polished the bolt ramp to make it easier to throw the bolt. Leupold 3 3-9x50 fits 90° bolt perfectly. A suggested vortex had a large rear lens, doesnt fit worth crap, ...you need high rings to mount a scope so i put the leupold on it, which has a small diameter rear lens. Careful on buying a scope, lots of trouble getting a good fit.

I took a 455 american and totally pimped it out with a boyds target stock, new fluted heavy barrel and picatinny rail mount- athlon 6-24 50mm ...sold the stock items , kinda wished now that I had kept it stock, because it now weighs 10+lbs ...not exactly carry around the woods weight, I dont target shoot that much now but a dime will easily cover what it prints with sk subsonic @50yds...

Wow, two DDO videos in one day, I'm now optimistic about the rest of the day! That 457 seems to have everything worked out. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this rifle. Take care and be well!

I have one and yes they are just awesome and also I have the same scope. For me a Harris bi pod was a most for 74.00 dollars. GORGEOUS GUN. Every one should own 2.

Thank you for turning me on to a great rimfire rifle.

I have the CZ 452 nickel coated 16 inch 17hmr. I actually like the fact that the barrel is threaded into the receiver. If you have the 452 or 455 make sure you put in the Rimfire Magic trigger tune kit - it's the trigger of the gods!

Nice rifle, enjoyed the video. Someday if I ever get back to the states Ill probably get one as I rebuild my collection.

Great review. I have almost the exact same setup. I bought a CZ 457 American in .22 WMR last year and topped it with the same Leupold VX-Freedom 3-9x40mm scope, but used BKL dovetail scope rings. I also have a very similar sling as yours. It's become my favorite rifle. I'd like to get the .22 LR barrel for it next.

Very knowledgeable and informative. I think I know what rifle is going to be in my future…

I was visiting my wife's family during the summer of '20 in Kalispell and got my hands on the American at the Sporthaus. Very nice, but I wanted irons and set my sights on the Lux. Of course I left the credit card at home, so I couldn't make any ridiculous spur of the moment purchases. By the time I got home, all the inventory of the Lux were sold out and I had to hunt for a Training, which I was lucky to find in a lgs at the time. Fantastic rifle! It's easy enough to find the Lux stocks, if I really want that handsome wood, but I've yet to purchase one. I did recently purchase a Scout LNIB for 400 bones for my 5 y/o to grow into. The barrel swap feature is excellent, but factory barrels sell out quickly. My old Marlin 883 has chowdered feed lips and the part is NLA. It still cycles fine, but I'm hoping to score a .22wmr barrel for the CZ in the near future, as it hits with authority. Appreciate the excellent review. Thanks DDO!

Awesome! Now I'm sold! But wait... I'm a southpaw, do they make LH guns?? And... I love my Erma E M1... Every time I grab it, it makes me feel in Guadalcanal... Gonna see if they make the 457 LH... Thank you much for sharing! 👍

Hey DD, Happy New Year (2022)! I am interested in buying a 457 Varmint w/20" barrel. I have not been able to find much info on how these 22LR rifles are chambered. I think they use the CIT (German?) specs versus the SAAMI specs, and the chamber appears to be close to the Bentz (American) version. I have asked CZ to verify but it seems to be a closely guarded secret. CZ also has MTR (Match Target Rifle) chambers. I have heard these rifles are very accurate - MOA or even better - and I want accuracy without spending thousands on a target rifle like a RimX or Vudoo. What info do you have? Thanks.

Love that VZ sling too.

Desert dog since u got such great taste i subbed

Excellent information. very thorough review. thanks

It seems like the bolt is more secure on the 457. What I mean by this is I have a Bergara BMR in 22 mag and when throwing it in the truck, slung on my shoulder just walking in the woods the bolt always disengages/ sometimes then sliding back when walking. So I have to walk with my hand on the bolt as I have missed countless opportunities shooting game because of this issue. Long story short I ordered the CZ 457 varmint in 22 mag.

She's a keeper !!!

Nice the 22 magnum chamber is longer than 22lr, glad CZ make it work in the quick barrel swap, what's the torque on those barrel screws?

Also if u want iron sights u can order the lux barrel

Hello, I have a question. I have 30 moa rail and I want to put 20 moa sphur rings. Do I go with low, medium or high rings? 30, 34 and 44mm height? Scope is 34mm tube and 56mm objective.

amazing architecture

Excellent video. Loved the music selection during the barrel swap. Can you please educate me as to who the artist is that did the guitar solo…. Thanks again. 👍

They got it right with the 457. It can hang with the 452. The 455 definitely couldn't. My FIL shoots rimfire competition and they are raving about it. I kept outshooting my cousins 455 with my 452 until he finally got a 452 as well then it got interesting.

Great info thank you. Is that the American model? I was just contemplating ordering a Lux, but the wood on that stock in your video looks great, if that's the American I think I'm sold.

Man i wish there was a way to swap a rimfire bolt into a 223 cz 527. With one or a couple of those 223 caliber adapters, you could have one gun for plinking, small game, varments, deer and hog sized game. Maybe not the best caliber for the job, but i know guys that use the 223 quite effectively on deer. Plus it would be a good supressor host as well. Hell, you could chop it down, fit it with a folding stock, and it would be a dam fine survival rifle.....like a modern day M4.

The 550 "premium" rifles were limited runs that had higher grade wood and checkering compared to the standard 550's. They also had "hand fitted" actions (some with jeweled bolts) and slightly better finish on them. The "CZ Premium" rifles were equivalent to a "M70 Supergrade".
