It was great to find this video as I have just bought the same CZ 457 to put in an ACC chassis here in Australia. Great video. Thanks for taking the time.
I found the same thing on the 457 I just bought - 20" varmint barrel with a 1/2x20 threaded muzzle. At least I knew about it when I ordered it. Now, I'm going to have to figure if I like the "thumbhole" stock that it comes with!
Nice rifle! I have a EU 455 that came factory threaded, factory fluted. Been told this is very rare for CZ to do and that it was made as a promotion for a company over in EU. Mine is also threaded in 1/2-20. Just like you when I contacted CZ USA, they told me that CZ doesn't make their guns suppressor ready and that it was done aftermarket. After pressing them further, they reached out to the parent company with my SN and found out that it was an EU gun.
@@CokeMk7 I want to try shooting 22 matches and a chassis built for competition seemed like a good idea. I wanted to try something different too, since I already have the LSS chassis. the ACC also has the arca rail which I've been curious to try out
Hi, catalog 457 MTR herencia un europe doesn't have a thread barrel. But It isn't the first time that I see small changes in their products. The reality is that here in Europe each country has its own import company and sometimes they requests special orders with some small modifications. It would not surprise me that if for some reason a production could not be sold, the surplus ended up being sent to the American market. Here in France you can find some models offers in the market, which you cannot find later in the CZ catalog.
Very nice review and built, I also got very interested on the CZ 457 after seeing your video...I shoot some CZ 455 at my club, and they are very precise, not particularly sexy on the original wood stock, but very good rifles....the 457 with this MDT chassis looks really nice.
Hi Womfat...do you have any idea how many rounds you put through your CZ 457? Is it keeping the precision and accuracy? Any ideas also about the average life on this barrel and if it is easy to change barrels later on? Thanks if you have any of these answers.
@@ohleocleafar I have about 3000 rounds through the rifle now, no signs of slowing down. I was curious as to the life of a 22LR barrel as well. Depending who you ask, you'll get answers varying from "much longer than a center fire" to "you can never shoot them out". In the end, there are many variables that come into play. I think they can be shot out but the round count will vary and I've never done it. The 457 uses the same barrels as 455s so there are plenty of aftermarket options on the market. Parts availability and general maintenance was something I looked for when deciding on the rifle.
Excellent video Sir. Has me looking for a 20inch MTR!! That bolt cycle looks really smooth! A decision between the TX1 and the 457, though the 457 looks to have the nicest bolt cycle (maybe).
I will say that the 457 action visually looks better than the 455. I have been pondering getting an Area 419 457 package with the Manners stock because I want to have a non-chassis rimfire gun in the stable. Operationally, I like the changes to the bolt geometry and the fact you can easily swap bolt knobs.
I got to handle one of the Manners Area 419 457s, it was very nice. The bolt changes are nice, especially the bolt stop on the receiver and shorter throw. The actual bolt uses the same extractor, holder and spring clamp as the 455.
That's a beautiful CZ... It's a 'match custom' here in Australia and a $3000 gun. I'm trying to figure out the difference between this and a MDT Varmint and is the 3x price worth it in the long run.
Just ordered a Cz 457 mtr 20" barrel. Can't wait to get it out and shoot it. I can't decide if I should get the Vortex Diamondback Tactical 6-24x50 or the 4-16x44
I actually had purchased the 4-16x originally, and then exchanged it for the 6-24x and paid the price difference. It depends what you want to do , but the 6-24 is a bit more versatile and you can always keep it on the lower settings. Come at a cost of larger objective lens and more weight though.
Just got my rifle in yesterday. Was super excited to see that mine came with a threaded barrel like yours (I'm also in Canada). I'm going to get the 6-24 tomorrow. What height rings did you get?
I’ve ordered the 457 MTR and the Area 419 rail. I have a Vortex Diamondback Tactical 6-24X50 scope that I will mount. What height rings did you use? Thanks.
I really like this scope, depending on what you're looking for, it may be hard to beat for the price. I wasn't going to do a dedicated video on the optic as I'm not as experienced with scopes.
I've handled the t1x in store. I like the MTR more because of the heavier barrel profile. There's been reports of the t1x not being true free float out of the box. That said, I don't think you could go wrong with either.
Did you by any chance use the washers with the action screws when you installed the action into the chassis. Also what torque setting did you use on the action screws. Thanks!
@@filimonherrera657 Nice. I played around with the torque settings from 25-65in-lbs.. It didn't seem to make a difference so I put it in the middle. I think the action screw torque affects rifles in a soft material stock like wood or plastic a lot more

Glad I could help
Great video! Lots of great info. I just purchased my CZ 457 today and can't wait to try it out!
Nice! it's a really slick rifle
Great, great video. I'm just starting to get into Rimfire Precision Series. Your video really helped me understand where I want to go with equipment.
Thanks! Always happy to help

Damn, that's a very nice setup! The videography and production of this video are also right on point!
Thanks! I do my best with what I got
My 457 mtr came threaded, I'm in the UK so you may be right regarding the barrel being threaded for the European Market. Your rig looks sweet 👍
Thanks, I'm really enjoying it.

I love the gun man, that thing is amazing. Im building my CZ457 Precision Trainer to a "match grade" gun like the MTR.
Nice, I'm sure you'll have a great setup yourself
Womfat aside from it being cool af. What made you want a CZ in a ACC chassis
@@CokeMk7 I want to try shooting 22 matches and a chassis built for competition seemed like a good idea. I wanted to try something different too, since I already have the LSS chassis. the ACC also has the arca rail which I've been curious to try out
Very nice set up. Waiting on my CZ 457 to arrive . But that MTD Chassis is $1100 here in Australia
Dave Rieck Nice! The mdt stuff is pricey, managed to snag mine during the Black Friday sale
@@Womfat that it is but wont stop me buying one , but in crimson. Love your videos to mate
@@daverieck6352 Crimson will be very cool

It's definitely a match chamber. Can't use CCI Velocitor in it.

If your gun likes CCI standard, using CCI Green tag will tighten it up a bit more. Same stuff, just more consistent I’ve found.

I've handled a t1x, and it was quite smooth as well. Both are great rimfires

@@fitztech with the tall area 419 base, I got the low rings and they work well.
im looking to get into long range shooting. Where can I try to start when im located in Toronto?
Hello, not sure if you may already be aware but airguns use 1/2" x 20 tread so any muzzle device for an airgun should fit.
Colonel mustard has 1/2x20 muzzle breaks.
I am the 223 thumbs up. It was hard to bust that 222 but the video was worth it.
Great video. Did you find any accuracy improvements or issues over the original stock?
I just bought a 457 with a 24” treaded barrel in a chassis. Now just waiting for it’s arrival. Do you know who makes the chassis for CZ?
I’d like to chat about your aftermarket barrel.
Do you have an email you are willing to share?
Regards,
You can find my email on the about tab on my channel
Very nice ,well done video 👍 you sold me. who in Canada offers the CZ 457 MTR ?
It's fairly easy to find. Most places that sell CZ will carry them (finding them in stock might be the hard part right now)
Great setup mate, what colour is that cerakote?
Thanks, it’s the factory FDE cerekote color from MDT
all in what did it cost in CDN $ ? approx. is good
I’ve ordered the 457 MTR and the Area 419 rail. I have a Vortex Diamondback Tactical 6-24X50 scope that I will mount. What height rings did you use? Thanks.
Steve Kiemele I used low height rings 0.9” height
excellent review. How do you like the vortex scope? Can you do a review over that too?
I really like this scope, depending on what you're looking for, it may be hard to beat for the price. I wasn't going to do a dedicated video on the optic as I'm not as experienced with scopes.
Wanting a 457 MTR with a threaded barrel for a standard thread.
Could always bring it to a gunsmith :P
Area 419 sells a loaded 457 mtr around 1k. Basically a match ready set up with a wood stock. It comes threaded
If I put that chassis on the 16 inch barrel is the forearm going to be longer than the barrel
Yeah, the ACC is quite long, but originally designed for centrefires
Hey also from Canada I’m torn between this and the tikka t1x. Have you handled both and if so which would you recommend?
I've handled the t1x in store. I like the MTR more because of the heavier barrel profile. There's been reports of the t1x not being true free float out of the box. That said, I don't think you could go wrong with either.
Did you by any chance use the washers with the action screws when you installed the action into the chassis. Also what torque setting did you use on the action screws. Thanks!
I use the washers, and torque them to 45 in-lb
Womfat fantastic. I’m gonna play around with the torque and see what it likes. Gonna be using eley tenex.
@@filimonherrera657 Nice. I played around with the torque settings from 25-65in-lbs.. It didn't seem to make a difference so I put it in the middle. I think the action screw torque affects rifles in a soft material stock like wood or plastic a lot more
Womfat fantastic ran into one issue with the length of the barrel and using a magneto speed. What did you do in order to chrono?
Hi I’m in Canada too, where did you get this gun, I searched google but can’t find it. Thanks
Almost any dealer that sells cz will sell the 457.
Womfat sorry, I mean the chassis, I can’t find the same one like yours. Thanks
You can buy it directly from MDT, they are a Canadian company. Just look for mdt chassis
Womfat thanks, buddy
Where did you pick up your parts if you don't mind me asking?
Here in Canada I bought parts from go big tactical, rdsc, bullseye London. The chassis I bought from mdt directly
They're going after Anschutz.
Unknown User I was shooting matches 25 years ago, CZ, Anschutz, kimber and Ruger 10/22 were the top performers.
They always have been
Is 6-24x magnification overkill for rimfire? Seems like a lot of glass for ~150 yards but I’m curious to hear your thoughts.
Not overkill. Lots of 22 matches you’re trying to shoot a half inch target at 50 yards. Really helps you see
