Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires CZ 457 American

Shot my BIL's new 457 .22lr Thanksgiving day. Great shooting rifle, really liked the Midas+. He was shooting Mini-Mags and it did ok, but it shot better groups with the standard velocity. The worse grouping at 50 yds was the Mini-Mags, next best was the CCI standard velocity, and the best was the Laupa Midas+. With the Midas+ it would just wallow out one hole.

Only thing I didn't like was the weight. That bull barrel makes it heavy for a .22.

Even with a 20oz scope my SS 455 is pretty light and handy. I hope I don't go chasing perfection and trade it off foolishly. Despite the flaws, it's a good rifle.

How does your 455 SS shoot? LR?

Good, I hope. I have it on good authority that Santa is bringing me a SS 455 in 22LR. The SWFA 10x42 I got during Black Friday might look overpowering on it but I'll be damned if I'm not going to give it a try!
