I mounted a Bushnell Match Pro 6-24x50mm to it with high rings. The rail setup is CZ’s tried-and-true 11mm dovetail. Most NRL22 stages are 10 shots, so if that’s your game you probably want to hunt up 10-round magazines, which are sold by CZ and other sources-although availability was spotty when I looked for them. A five-round metal magazine is included with the VPC MTR. Price for these extra barrels range from $139 to $199 and are available at CZ’s webstore. So if you wanted to use the Varmint Precision Chassis for varminting as well as competition, you could swap out barrels to a couple of different lengths of. Just like its 455 precursor, the barrel on the 457 can be changed by turning out two screws at the front of the receiver. The 457 action itself features cuts behind the receiver ring to create a slab-side effect, which trims weight and looks sporty. There are instructions on adjusting the trigger in the owner’s manual, but CZ also has an excellent video on YouTube that explains and shows the process really well. Mine came in at two pounds, 10 ounces on average, and the pull is superb. The trigger is a fully adjustable single-stage.
There are QD sling pockets on both sides and a rail at the bottom. The stock is Luth-AR’s MBA-4 Carbine Cheek Rise, which is adjustable for length of pull and cheekpiece height. Why orange? That’s the color CZ uses on its premium competition pistols. A Hogue pistol grip is attached to an orange aluminum fitting. The VPC MTR’s lightweight aluminum chassis is an attractive green and features M-Lok slots at three, six and nine o’clock. These take GrovTec QD cup inserts, which are not supplied but are readily available. The bottom of the stock has a built-in rail attachment for a monopod, and there are QD cups for sling attachment on both sides of the stock. The semi-hard buttpad has raised, serrated sections at toe and heel to help keep it in shoulder, and it’s removable if you want to change it. Length of pull ranges from 11 to 14 inches. Instead of employing a lever, length of pull is adjusted by pulling down on a locking pin and sliding the stock to the desired position. The MBA-4 is a stripped-down version of Luth-AR’s more expensive stocks, but it retains the features you need. It is the MBA-4 Carbine Cheek Rise from Luth-AR, a good choice on CZ’s part. It’s not only faster to work than the old 90 degrees, it allows more clearance for the larger ocular bells on today’s scopes.Īs a dedicated match rifle, the 457 VPC MTR sports a stock with an adjustable cheekpiece. customers-especially those who work with young shooters-the company changed the 457’s safety to meet our tastes.Īlso new is a 60-degree bolt throw. Previous CZ rimfire designs operated in reverse, and after receiving feedback from U.S. A big change with the 457 is the safety, which now operates like Americans think it should: forward to Fire, back for Safe.
The 457 action works smoothly and locks up solidly, and in the case of the VCP MTR it gets a match chamber.

Once my suppressor shows up, I hope to do an update on handling and accuracy of this rifle with a can attached.) The 16-inch, cold-hammer-forged bull barrel is threaded 1/2x28 for a suppressor and comes with a knurled thread cap. Thanks to Silencer Central, this is an incredibly easy process to go through, but it doesn’t make the ATF move any faster. (As an aside, I’m still waiting on my ATF paperwork for a suppressor to clear. The 457 has grown into an extensive line of sporting rifles, so it made sense for the company to expand into the competition side of things. 22 I bought years ago because of its smooth action and accuracy. The 457 is the successor to the 455, itself a forerunner to the excellent 452, a. The action features a 60-degree bolt throw, which works faster and provides more clearance for larger scopes. The orange pistol grip fitting is a CZ competition- gun design cue. The 457 barreled action is housed in a green anodized aluminum chassis of CZ’s design. Distances can stretch to 200 yards for NRL22 and even farther in other sports. These matches have you shooting over barrels, off ladders and from various barricades/obstacles in addition to standard position shooting like standing, sitting, kneeling and prone.

It’s intended for today’s hot new competition games: National Rifle League 22 (NRL22), which I focused on, Precision Rifle Series rimfire and others. When I first saw CZ’s 457 Varmint Precision Chassis MTR, I looked at its 16-inch barrel and thought, “This is a target rifle?” Having competed for many years with Winchester 52s and Anschutz 1413s, with their long, heavy barrels-as in 27 to 28 inches long-I was suspicious of how accurate an abbreviated barrel like the CZ’s could be.įor one thing, the 457 VPC MTR isn’t intended for NRA three-position or prone shooting.
