Cz lettering destroys such a beautiful walnut stock.

[@peterhealey2668]

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.

[@user-qn7yq3eo2q]

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. 🎯

[@henrymoreland8719]

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

[@williammoore6953]

What fool would approve such an idiotic idea on such a beautifully designed rifle?

[@trevorkreutziger9450]

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

[@MariuszNmntechcom]

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.

[@cooeeycobber]

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.

[@advmotorrad]

Thanks for detailed review

[@baconator754]

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.

[@waldemar4919]

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 :)

[@Greyzonecompliant]

The velocitors are a favorite in my 457 to.

[@Greyzonecompliant]

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

[@tjfishing2714]

Beautiful rifle that will be a future classic 👌

[@regsparkes6507]

If these CZ rifles are not the best value in rimfire rifles, then they have to be near the top 2 in the world of rimfire rifles. This `praise` also applies to Chris Parkin Shooting Sports, as a no nonsense and thorough reviewer. If and when I am in the market for a rifle, it`s Chris and or Ozzie Reviews`` in Australia, I turn to for what I need to know.

[@chrisparkin431]

thank you

[@masoudajvand1474]

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?

[@Juliang61]

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

[@MichaelGastFilms]

Thanks for the good Video Mr. Parkin

[@electricjoke]

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.

[@Lowballinoutdoorz]

Awesome!

[@geordiegeorge9041]

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.

[@870Leon]

The chocking sounds more louder than the shoot

[@ronniearellano5992]

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

[@andrearoseano9685]

Complimenti! Che ottica usi? Grazie

[@robertunderdunkterwilliger2290]

Looks like a great offering from CZ! But I think the stock could've been improved if they had not rounded it off like they did, and instead left a flat wide forend on it.

[@chrisparkin431]

Buy a different model if you want a different stock

[@martinilavsky2553]

Which bipod is it? Brand? Model?

[@Cyka-Blyat7055]

Nice gun

[@Squarepeg57]

Is it fun Chris? 😊

[@sparkplugsteve402]

Quad sticks all day, best innovation for years 👍

[@johnybrezina4613]

Great video, I also am a CZ fan... I have the MTR in 22lr, little heavy for carrying around for hours, but is doable with a padded sling... One thing i would love to see is a review of the Premium version... Mainly for the stock, i have to admit...

[@pvegod1484]

I’ve the got the 457 LRP and Jesus is it heavy

[@schutendohkji548]

I got a Premium version. It shoots great. Looks great but u need to pay Xtra for datto. U kan keep the iron sights n don't remove it. Scopes r for weak hearted. U can install a target competition quality (for non-weakhearted) off hand shooting w NECG peep sight and it also looks great. See my main comment way up above.

[@ronniearellano5992]

Can you please so test it with out the suppressor or silencer? Thank you so much and I appreciate it... Shalom Shalom enjoy watching it...

[@chrisparkin431]

Watch the video

[@bunpongchanglongkipheisom7251]

Cz457How much does a sound pipe cost 

[@bariosejati592]

Ini bisa di order kah boz

[@deeparker6109]

Feeds a lot better than my Anschutz 1761 22lr, cycling any faster than slow motion jams the bullet pointing up at 90 degrees against the breech face :(.

[@johnutting9615]

Have a look at slightly bending the lips of the mag to get the round to go horizontalm try bit by bit .

[@thr333zy]

would you reco getting the synthetic or wooden stock for $100 more for cz457

[@chrisparkin431]

The video has my opinion on it

[@dinobaltazarsaldana]

Hello, can you tell me what brand of suppressor it is?

[@chrisparkin431]

Sak

[@cesare307]

Very silence rifle. Maiby you use subsonic pellet

[@nelsonyang365]

I love cz and there gun but only reason I wouldn't buy one is because of the bb gun scope mounts

[@Greyzonecompliant]

they offer a picatinny rail for it

[@user-yr7vn6ke3x]

What sling is that?

[@chrisparkin431]

Probably Hornady

[@L.V-Rider]

I thought all scopes dial the same direction.

[@chrisparkin431]

No

[@akbarnsja2773]

How can I buy that rifle, boss?

[@chrisparkin431]

In a gunshop

[@winmungmossang8411]

Where do I fine this gun??

[@chrisparkin431]

In a gunshop

[@phillycheesetake]

The model name laser-burned into the stock is about the ugliest thing I've seen on a rifle in a long time, hopefully it can be ordered without that.

[@saadmagnum936]

Agreed

[@raybruce9522]

Agreed.

[@raybruce9522]

Ruined a beautiful walnut stock.
