Cz 457 scope mount ??

[Killitgrillit]

Howdy all,
Well I picked up a 457 mtr and a Bushnell match pro ED with 56mm obj. What scope base and ring/ ring height do y’all recommend??
And then Timney trigger or YoDave kit?
Thx

I would recommend trying the spring replacement and readjustment for your factory CZ trigger first. They are generally a fine trigger and can be adjusted down around the 10 oz range, +/-.

Area 419 rail or a similar design that clamps into the grooves. Those that set a secret vertically into the CZ receiver dimples tend to loosen over time, I have three of them in my junk box, so it from experience.

I have used both the Timney and Jard triggers and prefer the Jard. I see that makes a SIDHE CZ trigger is you want the be$t.

IMO there is no better scope base for the 457 than the Area419 (my preference is 30MOA with bubble level). The last 457 I owned had the Timney and I was completely satisfied with it.

Yo Dave springs for the trigger, and BLK scope rings (Super High for a 56mm Obj.)

Think the rail I grabbed was an EGW, zero angle, used the Burris XTR Signature rings, the med height ones, that was too high for my liking, cheekpiece wasn't able to get high enough. 30mm tube w/50mm objective, had a solid 1/2" clearance off the bbl @ 30deg. I see Burris makes a low set now, didn't exist at the time I got the gun. I liked the XTR rings as it gave me lots of choice on the angle. I did end up changing the Boyd's AT-one stock out for an MDT Field stock, which cured all the fit and height issues I had, can use any ring & rail combo I want now.. Buying ND mags cured the feed issue I had with CZ mags too.

I have the EGW rail on my 457MTR with Vortex rings to mount a Vortex PST GII 5-25X50. The rail and medium rings got me plenty of height, perhaps too high because I had to put a cheekpiece on the stock. Hindsight says I should have given more thought to dovetail rings instead of the rail to maybe not need the cheekpiece.

The 419 is nice but is too tall for some people. I think I went with the DIP one.

 

[TheOtherZilla]

I have DIP on all my CZ's.

 

[dusterdave173]

I love the DIP-they have been doing great for years and at less $$ than the 419--IMO the bubble in the Area 419 is about useless and though it is the darling of many I think the Tiny Torx screws are easy to strip / damage

I just went with the 8 oz spring from CZ. It works just fine.

Area 419 30 MOA base and Warne mountain tech lows clear my Venom with a 34mm tube/56 objective.

EGW rail and Nightforce rings to support my scope. Whatta Hobby!

Watch out for the scope rail coming loose, and sliding or vibrating. Especially using a heavy "tactical" scope. I just reattached mine using Loctite between the base and the rifle, if that doesn't hold a followup with JB Weld will.

Thats why you use a mount that has the set screws to tighten down into the divots in the receiver. The side clamps don't hold well at all.

Don’t bank on it.

Headed into my third season with the EGW rail. Nothing has moved yet with 8K through the system. Whatta Hobby!
