Picked up my CZ457 American 22 mag this afternoon. The CZ gods blessed me with a beautiful dark tiger striped piece of walnut. Hope it shoots as good as it looks!

Scope will be here tomorrow. Vortex Diamondback HS 4-16x BDC.

8 oz spring for the trigger arrived today, so I need to get going on that also. Also need to check the barrel screws and action screws for proper torque. Thinking 30# for the barrel and 20-25# for the action.

Very nice rifle. I used to shoot those .22 Magnums back in the days. It's a .22 on steroids. You should have some fun with it. Gives you the power edge over those little .22's.
 
Got everything put together and retorqued properly. Barrel is free floated all the way, grub screws at 30#, action screws at 22#, scope mounted last night, reworked the trigger and swapped the spring Tuesday night. Trigger is now between 8-10 oz.

Will be taking to the range this weekend sometime and see how she does!

Good looking CZ, my daughter has a 455 that is in a boyd's barracuda stock, ans i just put a magnum research barrel on it, we had it out today and shoots great, could use some trigger work.
