I bought a CZ 457 in left hand ..also in 22 mag..last summer… I haven’t have much time to put a variety of 22 mag ammo thru it… But the CCI 40 gr hp ammo shot nickel sized groups at 60 yds …. Trigger needs a little attention to lighten the pull weight but there was no trigger creep…The wood stock had lots of figure to it…but the stock was pretty dark like it had been stained…Checkering was nice. The action was very smooth to operate and probably smoother than the LH 452 that I have when it was new out of the box…I like the trigger housing /guard better than the CZ452…as the 452 trigger housing has a stamped blued metal trigger guard… The red cocking indicator at the back of the 457 action is a nice feature and the safety is like most American bolt rifles now regarding safe and fire position…Sometime this winter I’ll run a bunch of different brands of ammo thru it to see what it really likes… Right now it has a Burris Fullfield ll 4x14 x42 scope on it in CZ steel rings.

Change spring? Posts written about this on rimfirecentral dot com.

Re: barrel length on these, Do see overall length of the 457s vs the 452s.......

The guns may not be as long as one might think, with the 24.8"

That's a beauty, Rodney. I have a 452 American that I sent off to CZ's licensed gunsmith as soon as I received it from the factory.

Emai toTriple River Gunsmithing requesting work:

Cut barrel to 18".
Recrown barrel.
Thread barrel using 1/2-28" pitch.
Include gnurled cap.
Trigger job.

It shoots little tiny bug holes with or without a suppressor

Love that rifle.

I got a leftyCZ 457 in22 Mag a month and half ago, I settled on Hornady 30 grain vmax and Hornady 45grn FTX for bigger critters. 30 grain was the best, but the 45 FTX was about 1/2” at 50 yards.
I think you will be pleased.
