Not a 457 American, but instead the Varmint model with a heavy 20.5" barrel.
Nice groups. JB is that a pic of your 457. On my cell the bolt body looks a bit different and the mag looks flush. Is that OEM? Thanks.
Been curious how the varmint WMR shoots.
Ahh…… I might be missing something but this looks like a 557 to me?
……and K22 you must be a super calm/well disciplined squirrel hunter - when ever I take a rifle out with a trigger pull less than 1/2 ponds I often get premature ignition (at least on the first one or two)😄. Just heard yesterday that CZ is going to be bringing out a 457 with a high grade maple stock in the American this year - I know maple isn’t for everyone but if they are truly high grade may just have to add an American to the 457 stable?

In trutn PennDog, I am. I learned early on using a KDF double set trigger which they had set for me at 6oz. I would get on target, or on Squirrel, set the trigger then leave my finger out of the trigger guard until I was absolutely ready. Cross were on exactly where I wanted them and then I would just barely touch the trigger. I never used a the safety. With a trigger that light I could stay focused on the crosshairs and use muscle reflex to touch the trigger.
I did take a little bit to get used to it, but a lot of bench shooting was the answer. In all honesty, I never squeezed the trigger. Now when I use a 12oz trigger I feel like I'm squeezing it forever before it breaks.
