CZ 457 Synthetic 22 LR Review by Chris Parkin 

Work at a large privately owned gun store in Pennsylvania.... I've seen more 22s than I can count.... The 457 is my absolute favorite rimfire hands down.... No competition. I'd sell my kidney before I'd sell mine. (457 American with a striped grain Turkish walnut stock.) Looks as good as it shoots.

Excellent review, Chris! I have the same rifle and love its light weight and accuracy.

Well purchased this week, tried Ruger and Sako. Stuck with CZ. Zeroed to 50 yards with a basic Hawke scope, a bog standard silencer with subsonics it is a real tack driver. I tried a hundred and was getting two inch grouping straight away, need to fiddle with the scope a wee bit. Very pleased and for the price, and future options for "pimping" up, it is the best value rimfire out there imo.

Thanks for a good review, appreciated you showing what goes into switching out the barrel.

Have one in 16” with a Hawke caliber specific scope and scirocco moderator . It’s a great little rifle for rabbits and squirrels and I love it !

Thanks for sharing, enjoyed this. I have CZ 455 synthetic 22lr, 457 Royal 17hmr. Love them both.

Great review. And good shooting.

Very good and informative video. Thank you!

Very informative and very well presented 👍🏻

Good straight forward info..

Awesome video! Chris clearly knows his sh*t which is great to see. What a rifle!! 👍👍

Excellent review thanks , I'm seeing a 457 in my future!!!

Just after buying this firearm all because of this review. Thank you.

Hey man, you are an AWESOME shooter!!!! The CZ 457 is one of the best rifle in the world! Especially in the caliber .22 LR! WELL DONE!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Nicely done

I’m shocked at how tight the groups are with that light barrel! amazing imo. shoots group as well as any factory 457 i’ve seen… i was worried about buying one because of the light barrel, not anymore. thanks for the video!

Nice & Clear review

Wow great job on ur video... I have the same crow I plink with

Love mine 👍

I love this gun.

excellent review. it would be interesting to see this rifle with the iron sight barrel on it.

Good review Chris,upgrade of my 452 may be on the cards,

Class shooting there mate cracking gun 😊

Probably this is one of the most accurate 22lr rifle.

Great video. What distance do you usually zero your scope for the SK ammunition. And what are usually your holdover/clicks for 75,100 and 150 yards?

Cool video :)

Great review thanks. It is my choice for a new rimfire. This video confirmed it.

Great video and trial session. Would you share the model of the sound reducer you are using? Thanks a lot !

Great vid i have this gun and i love it cheap and a great shooting gun

Hi Chris What scope rings do you use on the CZ 457 with the Element Helix scope?

Excellent review. I bought a CZ 457 Royal and I love the gun, but it is a bit too pretty for me to hunt with on rainy or snowy days, living in coastal Alaska that is most days. I think I will buy the synthetic version so I have something to take out in poor conditions guilt free.

I would be interested in knowing the height of the scope mounts and the brand (Hawke Scope mounts in "high" or "medium" height)???

Enjoyed your video. I am looking for a light weight dedicated squirrel hunting rifle, how is the accuracy of this rifle straight out of the box without the silencer? I understand silencers can affect the harmonics of the barrel just like tuners and do not want to start that debate but would truly like to know the 457 synthetic's thinner barrel accuracy straight out of the box. I like the weight of the rifle and synthetic stock for use in adverse weather conditions but accuracy is my key objective. I'm a little concerned with the thin barrel profile's accuracy but do not want a heavy bull barrel while carrying in the woods. Thanks in advance.

Nice review. You made me get one. 150m is the distance i want to shoot. I just bought that cz457 synthetic with 20barrel. By the way, are you lubbing your bullets? Thanks

Gracias

Is there a reason to go with heavy varmint barrel or to stick with this one?

I wish CZ wiwould make this stock for their 455....I would buy it quick.

Just goes to show, you don't need to fork out Anschutz money to get a tack driver, 👍

Actually - if you use a torque wrench and torque the screw the same every time - the return to zero is spot on. Tested it many times on my own cz457 synthetic

@SportsmanGunCentre do you know if the gun likes CCI SV? Thanks

nice HW97k blue laminated hanging on the wall ;)

Very good review. I am turning my interest from airguns to cal 22 Lr very recently so I am looking for a rifle accurate but not too expensive. Is the CZ 457 a good option?

Howdy from Texas. Nice shooting, .22 sub, in some crosswind at 100. ;)

Wow ‼️ Pretty good for straight out of the box. Robert PS The ‘police state’ here in Oz doesn’t permit sound moderators 🤬

Hi Chris great video, I'm in the market for a bolt .22LR and its down to the synthetic CZ457 or the Tikka T1X. Any you chance you doing a comparison review on both. Keep up the good work.

how do you find the scope magnification to much or jist right? thanks:)

I like cz syntetics cal 22

Your rings are installed incorrectly. Those are Warne 3/8 - 11mm rings. The dot on the side clamp indicates whether you have it set to 3/8 or 11mm. Your rear ring, dot pointing down, is set to 11mm while the front ring, dot pointing up, is set to 3/8.

so looking at the accuracy of this synthetic version there is really no need to get the varmint heavy barrel?

chris, how can fit a bipod in the rifle ? can I fit a picattiny rail ?

Maybe a stupid question, but can you just fire outside (on targets or rabits) in the UK with this rifle?

I have the same but in 22 Mag. It shoot an inch at 100, when I can. It's my truck gun, barrel has about 40 rds. Through it, it will get better

Not seen anyone shoot these kinda groups with any of the 457 rifles... interesting.

Is this black raven 24 inch gun?

Is this CZ 457 Synthetic Rimfire Rifle a good alternative to the Tikka T1X MTR, or is the latter still a better rifle for target shooting due to the thicker barrel? The barrel in the CZ 457 Synthetic seems rather thin compared to the ones that come with the CZ 457 Varmint or CZ 457 Varmint MTR.

สวยมาก

Algum brasileiro babando aí como eu?

ภาษาต่างจากเราใครติดตามหรือเข้ามาสนใจหรือให้คำตอบได้ ร้านไหนสั่งเข้ามาปืน.22lrรุ่นในรีวิวนี้มีป.3อยู่แล้วสนใจครับ

Saya ingin beli senapan ini tapi saya gak tau harus beli dimana mohon info nya bos 👍👍👍👍

😁😁😁😁😁

How is the rifle so quiet, it's quieter than my sub 12 ft-lb rifles.

Really? A target shaped like a bird? Say no more.
