I have the short barreled version of that 455. I really enjoy it. I just wanted to comment that the stock on it is wood laminate not synthetic, so don't bang it into anything too hard. Please let is know how it groups.

Could you elaborate, on why you despise the 457?

There are all kinds of ranges with distances over a 100yds
DelTone in St Cloud has 200yds Oakdale is open to the public on weekends during the summer Hudson Rod Gun is open to the public Not sure these have over 200yds Beaverbrook has open hours to the public Private clubs unless hosting events... Gopher at Harris goes to 1000yds Post 435 @ Elko goes to 200yds Elk River Sportsmans Club goes to 600yds NorthStar @ Redwing goes to 600yds Faribault near Kilkenny goes 600yds (if they are done reconstructing?) Dakota County @ Rosemount goes to 300yds Forest Lake goes to 400yds Minnetonka Sportsman (Mound) goes to 100yds Minnetonka Game and Fish / MRC (Nowthan) goes to 300ys for sure, with steel to 400? Rainbow Sportsman (Cokato) goes to 300 if River not up Delano Sportsman goes to 100yds |

I've been eyeing one myself... picked up a RPR Rimfire recently and it is just a blast to shoot, I enjoy it much more than I expected. However I don't see myself putting any money into the setup as it has it's shortcomings - I'd much rather put money towards a CZ TBH. The 455 VT seems like a good LR starting platform that would allow meaningful further upgrades if desired...
I notice there is both a 16" and 24" barrel version - any preference of one over the other? |

I like long barrels on long range and target .22 LRs.
I've chronographed numerous lots of .22 LR match grade ammo over the years and I've noted that longer barrels almost always produce a lower standard deviation in velocity. Long sight radius isn't the only reason smallbore target rifles have 26"-28" barrels. You'll hear people state a 16" barrel will be faster, but in long range .22 LR shooting, you'll want to use standard velocity anyway. It's more accurate as it doesn't have to transition to subsonic velocity, and it drifts less in the wind. If you want to suppress it, then 16" makes more sense to keep the rifle's OAL down. But I'm not a big fan of suppressing standard velocity .22LR ammo. It's already pretty quiet, especially in a 24" barrel and passing through a suppressor doesn't help accuracy. |

Thanks, I was thinking along the same lines, but wound up with a 457 - since I was returning the RPRimfire due to the FTE issues, I was limited to purchasing current stock, and they didn't have any 455's avail. I thought long and hard about stepping up to the Trainer, but as luck would have it both models were OOS, so went with the 457 Suppressor Ready 16.5". 100yd's is my norm, 200 sometimes for fun, so I think it'll do fine.

The stock lines are also just a bit "off" and the checkering looks cheap. On a positive note, they finally got rid of the stamped bottom metal, which has always been the only "cheap" feature on the CZ rimfires. I like my CZ 453 American and and my wood lottery winning CZ 453 Varmint far more than the CZ 457. https://oi1111.photobucket.com/albums/h470/SDBB57/Rimfires/A9B4C28C-9A2A-41C6-8A9A-8C75E4C1F5BB-5199-00000A2744220ED0_zps9e6cc630.jpg The CZ 452 and CZ 453 didn't quite have the elegance of the Model 52 Sporter, but they came pretty darn close (and the grand finale CZ 452 would have matched it if it had lost the stamped bottom metal) and IMHO it was superior to the Rem 541. https://oi1111.photobucket.com/albums/h470/SDBB57/Rimfires/B40C61E1-0D4F-4102-929D-E7B256FDF59F-20900-000020C7EA23EBB7_zps90d89129.jpg https://oi1111.photobucket.com/albums/h470/SDBB57/Rimfires/D0405970-092B-4FC6-8856-1273C75ADE14-20900-0000240E5EEEECBB_zps77fbba34.jpg The CZ 452/453 had better lines than the 77/22, and was head and shoulders over the Zastava made Rem Model 5 and CZ 99/MP 22. https://oi1111.photobucket.com/albums/h470/SDBB57/Rimfires/CE0449A3-BCB0-46BE-8E3C-3F8B82CC853C_zps76ptpgof.jpg The CZ 457?

I have one of these and love it. Already have defended my garden from 2 rabbits this spring with headshots at about 35 yards and that seems to have kept the rest away.
You need to add a suppressor for sure. I'm using my YHM Mite with the upgraded Stinger internals. Ammo is Eley, can't remember the exact type since I bought a bunch of different types to try out. Still need to get more magazines. |
