I bought one after watching this video, had it a year now. Awesome rifle!

[@TargetBreaker1234]

Might have to upgrade from the faithful 455’a having seen this! Cheers Chris great review!

[@tonybennett4922]

Cracking rifle Chris ,you certainly tested it . Quite a change of look and features for Cz . almost like my a T1x

[@chrisparkin431]

Yes, a varied array of 457 options from this to the LRP I also reviewed

[@jayhansalman5625]

Loved the review, awaiting approval on my application for a firearms licence. This is the rifle I've had my eye on for a while. You've now sold it for me. Love the content 👌🏼

Thank you for that barrel grab that showed the stock doesn’t flex too much. You’re the only one I’ve seen do that and it was something that I was very curious about

[@rudedawg5087]

Thank you very much for this review video. I'm in the states and have been wanting a new accurate light weight rifle for hunting/plinking and this rifle is on my radar. I do not plan on entering any sanctioned competition shooting but it looks to be a great contender for the friendly contests we have at our private gun range. With the current ammo crunch will this rifle easily handle lower tier bulk ammo? I realize that would be like trying to run regular gas in a Ferrari. I do have some higher end ammo but mostly what is readily available here now is Remington Thunderbolt, etc. of which I have a bolt load of including CCI .22 quiet that I use for night time backyard raccoon hunting with my old 881 Marlin b/a. Thanks again for the video.

[@rangerdanger766]

You really made that rifle look good. Whats your take on 22wmr? Mine seem to struggle in the wind. Both American shooting 30gr Hornady, and Varmint shooting cci 40gr. Also have u ever tried Meopta scopes? Perfect match for these rifles

[@sunsetgundog]

Hi Chris, I've just bought a CZ 457 as above. Since the optics that I'm not selling with my old rifle are Piccatinny compatible, I will need to get a slide on rail. I've seen that the CZ Pt. rail has a gap over the ejector port. Do you think the gap is necessary to allow spent bullet casing to leave the gun smoothly?

[@yokep0]

Incredible accuracy. No reason to choose varmint . Can you show or describe own "Hit pattern data chart" (included sheet)? The question is - should I pay attention to it when I buy CZ 457?

[@malc1730]

great rifle have the 452 in both 22 and 17 hmr and would not part with either

[@markd6770]

Accurate review. I have the CZ 457 American (24 inch barrel) with walnut stock. Getting MOA groups at 100 and 200 yards makes this mediocre shooter feel good!

[@reinholdsuess208]

Hi, I have a question, what brand is the "clamp" which you use to fix the rifle on the tripod (min. 8:30)

[@chrisparkin431]

BOG Death grip, it comes with the tripod from Sportsman Gun Centre

[@averageoutdoorsmannz2015]

Had my eyes on one of these (and that exact scope as well), however I'm just wondering if there is going to be much difference in accuracy between the light barrel and varmint barrels (and if the vamrint may be more forgiving on different ammo). Is it worth spending the extra money / weight for the varmint barrel? Plans are for a competition 22. Great video by the way, exactly what I was looking for.

[@MKChase-uj9vx]

Hi pal I shoot a CZ 455 .22lr with a walnut stock and heavy barrel and I always say; it's the one rifle I'll can't imagine ever selling. Accuracy and build are exceptional for the money and the heavy barrel takes a little longer to get hot... but conversely, longer to cool. I don't find the weight an issue and if you are target shooting then I only see it as a plus. I use it for rabbits and have no issues taking 100 meter shots, the rifle will out shoot me, all day long. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend one pal.

[@kentdavis7438]

Enjoyed this review very much! Do you find that SK ammo to be your preferred target ammo for all your CZ 457's? I'm still testing different ammo in my LRP. It seems to shoot everything well out to 50 yards but past that SK rifle match does well and I'm working on 200 yards + at this time.

[@chrisparkin431]

Bring that to one of my live Q&A's videos

[@flyniceguy]

Hi Chris. Could you find a difference in accuracy between the Synthetic with the standard chamber and barrel vs the LRP with the match chamber and varmint barrel?

[@chrisparkin431]

In reality with wind, rain and all other variables, no but the handling characteristics are massively different

[@oscarchiadegie6133]

Hello, I would like to have the name of the weapon and the ammunition used during the text. If possible I would like to have a link for the rifle and the ammunition. as well as the sound reducer or silencer

[@TommyTucker0]

I had my heart set on the 20" Varmint model with the heavy barrel but after watching this i might go for the synthetic, the accuracy seems to be just as good with the light weight barrel of this synthetic model, ....... why? I thought the lightweight barrels were not as accurate

[@doubleugly1594]

Wirh 22lr it has way more to do with the ammo you're shooting than the barrel profile

[@nelsonm5032]

Hello Chris, do you recall the torque spec for the action? hard to pin down an answer, somewhere between 25-30 im reading un officially. thats seems a bit much for a synthetic stock maybe...

[@chrisparkin431]

I just do what feels right unless otherwise specified but 40 years playing with mechanics kind gives you a natural feel for stuff

[@nelsonm5032]

Thanks for the reply. i put a torque driver on it an they appear to be 25 inch lbs from the factory, atleast on my gun. wish me luck ;) cheers

[@nelsonm5032]

took the synthetic out today shot a bunch of SK. it really likes rifle match and surprisingly pistol match! looked for that winchester here in canada, no go. closest was winchester m-22. that stuff you have is the ultimate varmint round. well, for your particular rifle anyway. cheers.

[@jasonmyers5116]

Don’t suppose you can do a video on how to change the trigger weight on the Cz 457?

[@chrisparkin431]

I could but KZbin may well bin it as a waste of time because they don't like technical detail shared and have 'burned' me in the past for it

[@Chunkythefatfisherman]

Chris, sorry if I missed it, but what mod do you have on it, it's so quiet?

Thank you for this excellent video. I was vacillating between two rifles to buy, and this convinced me. This is the first time a watch a video from this channel due to my research in which CZ LR to buy. Imo the narration is a bit cold and clinical, whereas I prefer a more relatable presentation. No worries. Just my preference. That is why I won't subscribe. Maybe this little bit of "criticism" is of some benefit.

@@chrisparkin431 Your reply just strengthens my point. Let us say you want a definite answer on some question about quantum research and find it in a research paper with all the materials and methods used and research done and all references, would you rather have Neil deGrasse Tyson or Veritasium explain to you, or on the other hand, have an unemotional recall of facts? Both would give me an excellent answer delivered in an appealing or unappealing way. Do not be so easily riled up by mild criticism. Carry on as you deem fit.

When the safety is engaged the bolt does not lock in place, meaning you could accidentally chamber a round even on safe

Hello Chris ! First of all thank you for all your videos 🙏 I will buy a .22 rimfire, but I hesitate between this CZ 457 synthetic and the Savage B22 precision. I love the chassis and the look of the savage, and the trigger seems to be really good, but some people criticise it because of its « bad » reliability. The CZ seems to be incredibly reliable, and precise, but the chassis and the ergonomics... What do you think about it ? And which one is the more precise according to you ? I hope you will see this comment and answer it 🤞🙏 thanks a lot ! (I’m sorry if my english is not really good, I’m french)
