CZ 457 Varmint MTR

Problem with this platform is constant lack of magazine availability for CZ 452/455/457 rifles. This issue has been ongoing for years. When they are in stock, they can be $50 plus. Guys have been paying $70-$100 each, so a handful of mags can cost more than the rifle. Get it together, CZ.

Beautiful rifle! Love the shots of the woodwork and etching. The way you work the bolt to chamber each round is phenomenal! Thanks for sharing!

Great rifle . Amazingly accurate out of the box

Love your work. Another great vid. My 455 is a shooter, but I put a wmg barrel on it. Bought a Ruger PRP to shoot 22lr. Still working to get groups like that. Trigger, bolt handle and knob added. Now it is the shooter, so I enjoy your comments on position techniques, holding cheek position, etc. I have bad habits, having to realign with every other shot or so . Anyway, always look forward to what you have to say. 🤙👍

Production value is increasing exponentially! Keep it up sir!

Awesome setup!

Just got one in order. Been wanting a CZ 457 with either the Varmint or MTR barrel but they've been out of stock everywhere for a few months now that i have some cash and ready to move up from my Savage MkII FV-SR (great rifle for gettjng started in PRS if youre not wanting to spend a ton of money on it yet. For $230 the MkII FV-SR is a lot of rifle for the money). Finally found an MTR like this one in stock and immediately ordered it. Cant wait for it to arrive and get it scopwd and start zeroing and testing out ammo types with it.

Love the elegance and craftsmanship in some of the CZ line. You continue to be my hero. Hopefully one day we can shoot together.

Thanks for the review Ray. That is the model I was looking for before I went down the Rimx rabbit hole (still waiting on a chassis). I even bought some CZ 10 rounder mags when I found them available because those had been kind of had to find for a while the last 2 years, so I may try to add one to the collection some time down the road.

Thanks for the recommendation Shannon

Beautiful gun and it shoots lights out, CZ makes some quality guns! Thanks for the video, Happy New Year :)

Ray, glad to see the channel back in my feed. Nice video. May you and the family have a Blessed New Year!

Thanks for the video. Changing out the bolt knob is no big deal. I actually have a knob off of a B14R on mine. Have a great New Year. Be Safe

Thanks for an honest and open assessment. Great video especially considering it was sort of a last minute effort. Definitely value you opinion and appreciate the rimfire content.

Great video, exactly what I wanted to know about the MTR 👍🏻

Been doing research on a myriad of rifles for awhile. This video sold me. Ordering tomorrow!

Underrated training rifles in the CZ 457 or 455 22LR w/Boyds Pro Varmint stock ( then experience the joy of a CZ 527 in .223 w/Boyds Pro Varmint stock). Extremely accurate trainers you can build on a dime when paired with a Arkin optic of choice. Serious trainers you can compete with and enjoy burning through ammo. You'll be glad you did when your CZ 'trainer' proves superior to religulous practitioners of Voodoo economics gunwork.

Great video, I couldn't get the MTR, but did get the Precision Trainer in the Manners stock. It is way beyond my capabilities without doubt!!

I just picked up this very rifle. Wish you would have went a little more into the bipod and the install you used to attach. Thanks. Great job

CZ’s are shooters!! One thing I started doing when trying to wring out little bitty groups is to pull a Hoppes Viper snake through the bore 2 times after 10 or 15 shots. Jury’s out on it’s effectiveness so far but my CZ 512’s (22LR & 22 Mag) are just a smidge outside of 1 moa when the conditions are right and I let the barrel breathe for at least a minute between shots. I only shoots varmints so that certainly meets my needs. I think I’m going to have a 457 before too long. Thanks for the demo…
