Smithrjd: This "juror" is NOT "still out" on the CZ 457.
The CZ 457 I bought is the heavy barrel wood stocked model and its looks are only surpassed by its accuracy (in 22 Magnum no less!) and one of the main reasons I bought it was for the corrected safety.

VG how does that 22 mag shoot? I have been thinking about getting one but 22 mag rifles are a crap shoot for me. I currently have a 77/22 Mag. I had the barrel cut back and rechambered with a "match" chamber but it is still a 1 to 1.5" gun. My next option is a new barrel or a different 22 mag rifle.
BTW I do have two 452's, one in 22 and the other in 17 HMR. Both are tack drivers. And that safety does sucks big time!
