My brother & I took the hour drive to what is probably the best gun store in Michigans lower peninsula yesterday and I came home with this:
I had recently decided to try to get an old J.C. Higgins model 31 .22 running and it rekindled an interest in .22s. A few weeks ago we were at this shop and the CZ 457 American caught my eye. I decided I would like a nice bolt action .22 and if I found one with a really nice stock I would buy it. I checked out the display rifle, then asked to see the one still in the box. As soon as the packaging was opened I had my mind made up!
The scope is a Vortex 2-7x32 Crossfire II Rimfire and the rings are Warne rings suitable for use with either a 3/8 or 11mm dovetail. It is a beautiful rifle which features excellent fit & finish, really nice machine work, and the fully adjustable trigger is just sick right out of the box!!
This is my 3rd CZ purchase in the last year, which includes a Shadow 2 black/blue and an AccuShadow 2, and I am really happy and impressed with all of them. CZ makes some outstanding firearms!!
