Interesting offering. It's a good looking rifle too. I suspect it will be a hit with the walking rifle/hunting crowd if the accuracy holds. ( Not so much with the target shooters. ) It's good that the carbon is not a tube but actually attached to the sleeve IMHO. That said, I almost choked when the CZ rep said the gun weighed 1 kilo. You'd think a rep that is doing an interview would have read up a bit first.

 

I heard that, too. He had to mean the barrel.

Although, maybe the stock is helium filled.

 

CZ's have always been known for their accuracy. Will these barrels deliver? I do have to wonder. Are they just wrapping something like a tried and true American barrel in carbon or is this an entirely new venture into the unknown /unproven for them. I'm looking forward to some real reviews.

 

I’m wondering if they are working with Proof?

 

They didn't say, and I don't know.

I'd guess it would be a European manufacturer making for the European market with the ½x20 threads on the barrel.

 

I’m thinking CZ could sell this barrel all day long in different colored laminate stocks too. Like the Boyds at-one

 

If it holds up accuracy wise it will be a hit, only time and some testing will tell.

 

We hear big talk about its match chamber and MOA guarantee in this video - we’ll see, as you said, but I’ll probably buy it regardless 😂🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️😎

 

If I heard the rep correctly, it also has the match chamber. Interesting....

Did find the full weight of the rifle is 2.15kg (4.73 lbs).

Haven't found an MSRP yet

 

Is it a European model or is it coming here?

 

Canada seems to get the first batch, nothing but “crickets” so far

 

found this:

and a little more on the description here CZ 457 CARBON LIMITED EDITION .22 LR - JMS SPORTING
Probably $2K+ if it hits the US market

 

Thanks for posting. It's gonna be $$$.

 

The stock is polymer with a soft touch coating & the match action is what they already have in production.

I understand that the carbon wrapped barrel is a premium component.

From the JMS Sporting link it showed "pay in 3 installments of 665 (British pounds)" that's 1995 pounds total. Converted to American $ that comes out to $2483... wowza
