CZ 457 TIMNEY TRIGGER REVIEW; STOCK VS YODAVE VS TIMNEY

[@donaldhanger9807]

I have one and it does deliver. I do have several rifles withTimney trivets

Great video, Josh. Thanks to you I've just picked up a CZ 457. The YoDave spring kit is amazing. Very easy installation. Thanks again for all the time and effort you put in your videos.

Good looking out brother. Vivek Ramaswamy 💯🇺🇲💪

[@Ret2Play]

Never shot precision before. Went to range this past weekend, and a regular let me try his CZ 457. I'm hooked now, just ordered one and studying up on the sport. Great content!

[@Plainsimple67]

I am going to get one for my CZ 455, THE 457 TRIGGER AT 1.25 IS JUST PERFECT, IN MY HUMBLE OPINION.

[@TomSuveg]

Love your channel dude. You actually talked me in to buying a 457 mtr, thanks

[@eightyninerrover]

Gr8 Vid. A “friendly competition” friend brought me a supposed (per internet) competition spring that was either boxed wrong or ? I remembered posts of cutting down a pen spring, installing a longer adjustment screw and now have 13 oz measured. Cost 0, labor & fun only. Maybe 30 min job. Clean crisp/lite. FREE!!! My CZ 457 came with 3.5 LB min, adjustable trigger. What a joke. We did it at the competition with a Dremel as I’d purchased the rifle just days b4. I have banged the rifle every way with NO firing. Go Timny & Yo Dave but There’s options. Wish I knew how to post Lapua center x 50 & 100 yd targets.

[@wowguy3562]

Your evaluation is spot on, my cz 457 mtr factory trigger broke at 1lb 3oz and with the yodave spring install most broke at an even 8 oz, one test broke at 6oz, thanks Josh put me down for a 3x if you can get them that large, I'll take two shirts

[@PursuitofAccuracy]

Will do Wow Guy. Appreciate the support and comment

[@TheGarnerjustin73]

If you polish the Sear and Striker faces combined with a lighter spring, the factory trigger isnt shabby at all. But its never had a very crispy break like the Timneys are known for.

[@nksmfamjp7801]

Good video production. Really, triggers that are fully adjustable are adjustable for take up(pretravel), pull length(sear engagement), pull weight, over travel.

[@Errol.C-nz]

a sear profile cleanup & polish would achieve a better result & deal to the over travel.. the CZ sear is well hardened which is the key.. but then its not plug n play 🤧.. springs too are an easy change from any engineering supplies for a buck.. im not sold on Timney.. better to spend on accurising the bolt face & chamber match with head space

[@SundayNews27]

I commend your honesty. I know what I said and……. I will still probably purchase this trigger for my VPR MTR since I have a 457 .17 too and will have the best of both worlds.

[@PursuitofAccuracy]

Thanks Myles

[@jamesminshall4601]

Great review, I played with my trigger and finally went into a shop and had them test the weight and it was running over 2lbs, fitted a yodave and it feels much better and I will shoot it for the first time in an hour. It would be great if you did a video on adjusting the standard trigger.

[@stevesteve6506]

Same here. Can’t seem to get my 457’s trigger under 2lbs.

[@punisher9oneone]

My stock 457 MTR will only go a touch below 3!!! It’s gotta go

[@richardmattix5322]

Glad Timney made a good trigger for the 457

[@davcono]

I have watched numerous videos on the 457 trigger and also played around with my trigger. The one glaring omission by everyone is the link between the 3 setting parameters on the 457. Everyone talks about the adjusting screw but no one addresses the role the other two set screws play. How should they be set? Is there a connection between pull weight and the other two settings? Safety issues? Even CZ does not talk about those things.

[@dwc4343]

The screw by the trigger pull weight is for the travel after the break. The one by the trigger shoe is the travel before the break. Set both of these to the minimum amount of travel. And set them first. If you go too far with either of these settings the sear won't catch and you need to back off a quarter turn. Set the trigger pull last cause these first two settings actually increase the trigger pull. I have my trigger pull adjusted all the way out and it's still to strong for a competition gun. Get a Timney trigger and you can get it preset and 10 oz.. or more. Can't beat the Timney on any gun.

[@capomand45]

I could not get the stock trigger below 2# even with the Yo spring. I just installed my Timney trigger and LOVE it 6oz and breaks like an icecicle.

[@PursuitofAccuracy]

The timney is super nice. Id say your stock trigger was untypical but i have heard of others unabke to get below a lb even with the spring kit.

[@keepridingfun]

This trigger is fantastic and probably my favorite mod to my 457. I like how Timney shows the adjustment range minimum of 10 oz but mine came out of the box at 8.1, and yours at 5.4 lol

[@PursuitofAccuracy]

Lol yeah. Good triggers

[@maxie1057]

I thought the 10 oz was the minimum low end for this trigger. If it can be adjusted to 5 oz. like you have done, I definitely need it. Thanks for a great video.

[@cadecorneliusen3047]

I noticed the fly on left side of target. In early morning after sun comes up and the fly's are warming up I tack up a 2nd target & spray sugar water on the target and wait for the fly's. lots of fun. I put my mtr in a MDT chassis.

[@PursuitofAccuracy]

Haha awesome

[@TerrySprey]

Great idea

[@52oggie]

I like your takes on the cz 457 mtr & ammo just got my 457 mtr put a Athlon Midas tac on it, it like ely match & club match is 5rds touching at a 100yd cot my ruger prr is no were close to that I think I might go with the ODave trigger first, keep up your good work on the cz 457

[@wowguy3562]

I shot my new cz 457 mtr for the first time in May, I used a ballistics calculator and shot my gong at 300 yards, the very first mag I shot the cz hit shot 3-4-5 on target at 300 yards. I think you will enjoy your new cz, put an area419 30 moa scope base on it and you will be set, I did put a yodave spring kit in after the first outing it works great for 15 bucks

[@ernieparker4309]

I bought the yoDave and after installing it I was very happy but once I got to the range I felt the grittiness and the break felt good but not great. My buddy had his 457 with the Timney and side by side there is no comparison. I ordered one as soon as I got home. Great review

[@lubub9088]

Hi. guys - I want share my experience with Timney trigger on my CZ 455. Original trigger on my CZ I little bit modified and it was not bad - but I found after 3 or 4 shots another shot had different pull and jumped over pre-trigger set. So I bought Timney and no adjustment and start to practising .... well first what I noticed was sharp edge on trigger - I filed it down later I found that shiny coating (on my trigger) is slippery ! So with round diamond burs I made texturing like antler pattern. From that moment I am happy happy ! One idea more. I found ammo manufactures using oil or wax for their bullet protection so when I am loading a magazine I try to avoid to touch bullet ! And if I accidentally do that before start shooting I clean up my finger or at least I take some dirt or sand and I clean that lubrication off from my finger - it is working for me. Happy shooting !

[@lubub9088]

one info more - as far as I know CZ make special trigger FLYWEIGHT TRIGGER and price in Canada is flying between $179 - $230 . Because I did not find any references for this trigger in the time for replacement my choice went to Timney. One point more I like CZ guns but I start to feel the quality is going down. When I compare my 22 LR BRNO1 with CZ 455 I have to say that old timer is much more smoother, on cheap gun they made pillar bedding, the trigger is great . But it is my feeling and I use it for hunting or dispatching my game on trap line. I am very critical to gun manufacturers - for example few years back I bought Wheatherby made in Japan and took to me 2 months to bring it to my basic standards !!!

[@tobinbennett]

Unfortunately I’ve been having lots of feeding issues since installing the Timney. Seems to happen on average every 10 rounds and the last round of the magazine. Sometimes the bolt jumps over the round and sometimes the nose of the bullet hits the top of the chamber before it even clears the magazine catch on the back of the round. Going to install the factory trigger and see if the issue goes away. Maybe I just got a out of spec trigger and it is putting to much pressure on the bolt as the bolt doesn’t seem to be quite as smooth.

[@PursuitofAccuracy]

Yeah thats interesting

[@DavidBallach]

Why buy a yo Dave spring kit, get a bick pen snip the spring in half and use it. I did it on my Cz 457 and get 8oz pull weight. Still put the Timney in because I love the flat face trigger over a curved shoe.

Hello, Nice review, I ordered the Timney and have a question for you. Was your Timney at 5oz out of the box? Or did you adjust it down? Website says 10oz-2lb range? I’d like mine at around 5 oz as yours is. Thank you.

[@PursuitofAccuracy]

I adjusted it down. The adjustments are pretty easy though

I tried to leave my cz set to factory settings, you do need to remove (1) Allen screw with a set nut that holds the screw in place from turning) to install the Yodave spring, I did not mess with any adjustments for pre/over travel or pull weight, left them alone and got a nice 8oz with he spring kit, Josh made a lot of sense about losing pull weight adjusting the pre/over-travel

Great video! I shoot a CZ 457 Varmint in NRL 22 based class and and I don’t believe you can change the trigger so a Yo Dave spring is the way to go. If I was building an open class gun or a PRS style gun I would definitely go with the Timney trigger.

[@PursuitofAccuracy]

The yo dave is very good for what it is

The price for base class “excludes” aftermarket triggers. Implying you can change them and it doesn’t add to the rifle/scope price for base class.

Being a trigger snob myself, the difference between 6 oz and 9 oz doesn't seem like much until you shoot 6 oz for a while. If you go back to a 9 oz, its like "when the heck is this thing gonna break?" Thanks again for another great video.

@PursuitofAccuracy, be careful with the pull weight on Timney trigger. I set mine at 8oz and it felt very nice. However, when closing the bolt aggressively, the trigger would go off.. and it did so until I got into a 1lb weight range. I'm not sure if this is just my trigger or this is a normal behavior.

[@PursuitofAccuracy]

@@emalyuta its a sear engagement thing. Too light of a trigger with too little sear engagement can do that. You can adjust some more sear engagement into the trigger so its not releasing on bolt close. I typically adjust mine then use a rubber mallet to smack the action to make sure it wont release on me

[@emalyuta]

@@PursuitofAccuracy thanks for the note. I could not find any information about adjusting the sear engagement on the manufacturer website, and sent an email to tech support.

@@emalyuta im not sure its technically a “sear” adjustment but you can add a little more pretravel if you have that adjusted to close its pushing the sear close to the break and with the trigger really light it can bump fire

[@cacinaz8802]

Thanks to you I have caught the CZ bug. I am a bit confused about the best model, and I am budget limited. I would want a MTR barrel (I think) but also 20 inches and I am left handed. So I can't go with the Varmint MTR stock because it is set up for right handed shooters. Is the MTR overkill? What do you have? I understand the Bentz chamber is better than Sporter. Pardon if you have already covered this in another video since I haven't watched all of them (yet). I have seen a couple of older 457s advertised that have 20 inch barrels and a beautiful Turkish walnut stock that would work. But the wood stocks don't necessarily give the best performance.

[@PursuitofAccuracy]

In your particular case id get whatever model you like the most thats lefty friendly. The mtr barrels are match chambers and usually very good. The standard barrels are usually very good as well. But in the event its not up to par the aftermarket avaikability of barrels is abundent (proof, bartlein, lothar walther, lilja, IBI).

[@jimjones5633]

Excellent video. I don't competition shoot but am just an old geezer that likes to shoot my rimfire rifles at our range. I realize the lightest trigger pull possible would be needed in competition so help me understand are b/a precision rifles like yours inherently designed to be safe with trigger pull weight only in ounces? I am a air gunner primarily and thought the T06 triggers in both my Diana 34's @ 1.5# are exciting.

[@PursuitofAccuracy]

Thanks Rude Dawg, not quite living up to your name haha. The CZ factory trigger can be taken so light that it becomes un safe in a drop scenario. The Timney was designed to remain drop safe even at it's lowest setting but I haven't tested that theory. Most of the bolt gun matches for precision you have to move with the bolt open and the bolt only closes when your target is in your crosshairs. This prevents the possibility of anything bad happening if we were to drop the rifle. Of course all things are possible but most good triggers remain drop safe to their lowest pull weight settings.

Salut Josh, I can now confirm that I am indeed your undisputed equal in two regards …. I own a CZ457 MTR and a white cat. After that things sort of go downhill considerably …. but wait …. I also own a White West Highland Terrier. Seriously though I prefer the factory trigger on my MTR to the set trigger option on my CZ 527 Varmint in .223. I feel more in control with the heavier pull wait. With the 1lb pull weight option on the CZ527 it simply “breaks” too easily if you know what I mean, and please do not suggest it is simply my old age. Regards Robert

[@PursuitofAccuracy]

Im not a huge fan of a set trigger. I think i could get use to it on a bench rest only rifle but outside of that i prefer a single stage trigger almost always

[@jimreed6653]

Good video. How is the Timney trigger working these days? It's been over a year since your original post. I read the posts below and saw where you had adjusted it down to the 5.4. Do you still have it set at 5.4? Have you checked it for slam fire?

[@PursuitofAccuracy]

Its still going strong. Its set around 8 ounces and no slam fires and very bump safe

[@jimreed6653]

Why did you change the weight?

[@PursuitofAccuracy]

@@jimreed6653 its been in and out of different chassis and being shot by different people. Its not my main competition rifle so 8 ounces is just where it ended up at.

I don't even fire a new rifle until I put a timney in it !

He's one of two, and the most annoying / funny of the two as well. Thanks for the comment and support.

[@michaelnapoleoni6355]

I'm pretty sure it's a bad idea to dry fire a rimfire. Not sure about the CZ, but I know for the most part, you shouldn't dry fire a rimfire without using a spent casing or a snap cap/dummy round. It happens, but the more you can avoid it, the better off you are.

[@PursuitofAccuracy]

Heavily depends on the manufacturer. Most modern rimfires can be dry fired without any issue

Just waiting on the flat blade trigger shoe.

[@PursuitofAccuracy]

Yeah i hear that

[@christopherfreeman3095]

Good review. For my preferences, the Yo Dave is not only better value but also superior. I prefer a 2 stage trigger and have a 2 Stage TT Diamond on the big rig. Allowing me to keep the take-up and adjust the over-travel to replicate the feel of my centerfire is far more important than having the lightest, crispest, & least movement. Also, retaining some over-travel can be beneficial to accuracy as a safety margin when you get “hurried” in a match. There is really no need to try to eliminate it, except on a semi-auto.

[@PursuitofAccuracy]

Never thought about that. Thanks for commenting

[@albaneincowboy183]

Are you going to try one of BScar’s triggers? It looks like he’s got a 6+ long wait list.

[@PursuitofAccuracy]

At one point we were talking. Ive sent several emails to follow up across two months and no response. Not looking good

[@albaneincowboy183]

@@PursuitofAccuracy ok well I hope you get one soon. It looks like a lot of people are wanting one.

[@briansupermag3918]
