CZ 457 Royal in 22 LR, Full Review and range time, is the 22 LR your favourite calibre?

I have a CZ 457 .22LR and living in British Columbia I had to get the Canadian version with the Maple leaf embossed on the stock. Well made rifle, looks nice and very accurate as your Royal is.

I am glad to see you good British people can enjoy firearms. From what I’ve seen, the UK countryside is quite a lovely place. Looks like your Target Shooting sessions are a relaxing, fun and a magical time in a persons life. I think your CZ would be concerably more accurate with a slightly more high end scope like a Schmidt and Bender or a Leupold Scope. 🎯

Lovely looking rifle, little personal gripe 🙄 The writing cut into it.

cz now has 15 round mags for 22 lr. way smother than 25 but still alot when plinking. the metal 5 it comes with is the hunting mag

Thanks for detailed review

Chris, great review as usual 👏 I can't wait to collect my own one. I'm still waiting for the paperwork to come through. It looks just beautiful.

I have 2 royals. One in 22lr and one in 17hmr. Both shoot great but that 17 hmr is an absolute beauty. Great review.

I was lucky to find last fall CZ 457 Royal with beautiful "tiger strips" on walnut stock. Just love it! Mine loves Eley Team and CCI Velocitor ammo. Shooting out of 50 yards is just ... boring (hole in the hole). 100 yards makes it more interesting. The only 22LR rifle I can compare is my Lithgow LA101. Thanks for the review :)

Excellent review, and I’m only half-way through it. I bought an MTR, but soon grew tired of the weight. Was lucky to discover a take-off stock and barrel from a Premium on Gunbroker and rebuilt it in that configuration. Would’ve been just as happy with a Royal. Both models are just a cut above the others with apparently oil-finished stocks and that steel magazine, well worth the somewhat higher price. I’ve only fired a few different loads through the new barrel, but if it’s less accurate than the MTR, the difference is hard to detect. Thanks for the report.

Great rundown Chris. Bought my CZ457 synthetic post your review. 16in barrel…tested plethora of ammo…loves ccs stingers(32’s) and the RWS hypersonic (40g’s). Shoots very similar groupings despite grain velocity differences. SK match still to put them thru it.

Cz lettering destroys such a beautiful walnut stock.

Beautiful rifle that will be a future classic 👌

The chocking sounds more louder than the shoot

Thanks for this useful review. I would like to purchase this model and look for guidance about this beautiful rifle. What material, the receiver made from? Is it steel or Aluminum? Is there any plastic part exist in this model?

Just got a cz457 in 22 mag. I havent had time to take it to the range yet but it looks great. 23 mag with a bull barrel ot heavy bsrrelas they calk it.

Awesome!

Can the trigger system of 457 be put on the vsr10? I will appreciate it if you can comment or experiment test it too? Thank you so much for sharing cz 457

Complimenti! Che ottica usi? Grazie

My CZ 457 MTR 20" shoots sub MOA out to 100 meters using SK ammo, if there is more than one hole it's usually my fault.I use S&B for training, but there is almost always at least one flyer.

For those who know........ Only a British video would show a guy wearing wellies!!! Love it
