I ordered mine on Monday. I can't wait to get it. While waiting, I will be shooting my American Synthetic.

 

Thank you for your service! We must be the around the same age. Enjoy your new CZ!

 

Thanks for your service and congrats on the new CZ Varmint MTR, you're going to love it as I do both of mine. For competition they both love RWS R-50 followed by Eley Tennex & SK Rifle Match, of course that's lot # dependent. For our weekly just throwing lead down range they both like Norma TAC/MATCH-22 followed by CCI SV & Federal Automatch. I also use a CZ 457 Synthetic for squirrel hunting as well, great little rifle for sure.

 

Thanks for your comments guys. I have a feeling I'm really going to enjoy this Bench Rest Game. I've shot quite a lot of Silhouette Matches both IMSHA & NRA in my days and was really big into IDPA before I moved to Florida. While in Florida I shot NRA Bullseye Pistol with 22 & 45 cal guns. The club I belonged to there had weekly matches, talk about a Humbling Discipline, 25 & 50 Yards one handed with Iron or Red Dot sights. It was fun though and I did manage to shake a few into the Bull. I will no longer shoot IDPA with Bad Knees and Bad Lungs I cannot see myself at 76 running around getting up and down trying to beat the clock, with a loaded gun in my hand.......a Disaster Waiting Happen. Nope just sit on a bench, prop up my gun, squeeze the trigger, and look for a thousand reasons why I didn't hit the dot sounds like Fun to me

I’m 74 and I feel the same way you do…

 

That's where we come in.., when you run out of reasons, we can supply 100s of them every day...

 

RickBK1948 - Welcome Home Brother… thank you for your service. Congratulations on the 457 Varmint MTR. I’m betting you will enjoy that addition. I can totally relate to your last post - I attend what I call “Me. Myself, & I” matches these days. Select 2-3 similar firearms and have my own competitions. Today I am heading to an indoor range and will be shooting one of my High Standard Victors alongside a Colt Woodsman Match Target and I have a 457 LRP that needs the optic sighted in. I have a few CZ rimfires and enjoy shooting them all. Get yourself some SK Std Plus, Rifle Match, or Pistol Match ammo to try in that new Varmint MTR - I find that it usually performs well in all my CZ 45x 22s.

I have a Brick of S&K Rifle Match and some CCI SV on the shelf waiting to be eaten up by my new CZ !

 

Where are you ordering from?

 

Ordered from Locked & Loaded they still show as in stock for the Varmint MTR as of 5 minutes ago !
Rick

 

Thats where mine came from in May. Cheapest I could find anywhere that had stock. I'm younger by a year but you can throw in balance issues to the equation. My run and gun days are over, with a safe full of pistols, I too, have succumbed to watching paint dry!

 

Thanks for your service Rick!
I too have been shooting a 457 (standard Varmint model) for the past few months, and have become smitten by the rimfire/CZ bug. I will likely be rearranging my budget to work in a MTR sometime soon…

 

You will enjoy the mtr as I do mine

 

I've owned a few MTR's, then build something and trade or sell the MTR; then get a I want one thought!
Buy another one etc etc.

Latest one is going through a cosmetic redo
Scope coming off
Champions choice 10" sight extension and adapter going on
With Anschutz sights for Iron Sight Mini Palma shooting, maybe indoor light rifle offhand local matches this winter.

Should be a fun project.
Champions Choice was OUTSTANDING with CS. On this order
The adapter was out of stock, they made one up for me and got it out in, less than a week.
Phoned me and explained the two shipping boxes etc, Great Company.

Good fortune with your MTR and appreciate your service!

When I was living in Nashville I would sometimes stop at their store. If I weren't careful, it would get expensive FAST!

They're a great company to do business with. In fact, I bought my Anschutz from them.

 

An old thread but I love shooting my 452 varmint but after hearing about the 457 varmint MTR I may be looking for a new CZ.

 

I also love my 452 it's my go to

 

I would sell mine but a little more than $800

 

Wished they made the 457 Varmint MTR or the pro varmint in LH!

 

I wish they made and shipped some to the US!

 

Can I ask what the difference is in the MTR and the 457 Varmint is? Just stock styles?

 

MTR has a match grade chamber and barrel.

 

I got mine from EuroOptic and one from Locked and Loaded

 

I ordered mine from LockedLoaded as well. Shipped in 5 days following actual receipt of FFL info. They had 5 when I called to check stock qty. Took a while to get due to bad weather and my FFL being closed for several days but that is not their fault. Would definitely check with them if they still have them in stock.

I have lately only seen the mtr on gunbroker

 

Try Palmetto State Armory

 

Just bought one last week from guns.com and it will/should be at my FFL on Monday (tomorrow) for inspection and processing.

 

Owned about every model of the 457 and kept the MTR, made the mistake of selling my LUX so had to buy another one. The LUX is a skinnier version of the MTR that reminds me a lot of the 452 Super Luxe I never should have sold, but did. Be patient with breaking the MTR barrel in and it's as accurate as any rifle around. Over the past couple of years, I did grind the plastic pillars out and replaced them with stainless steel ones cut from stock bought at Ace hardware and bedded both the action and the first inch of barrel. Also epoxied in the lug behind the bolt and learned to stand the rifle on its butt to torque first the rear bolt then the front one, both to 30 inch lbs. Guns are as individual as people, but mine loses some accuracy at higher torque settings. I also replaced the original screws with cap head ones that hold up better. Mine likes Norma TAC-22 and generally will shoot about 2400 on an ARA target with it. I've only gotten 2450 with Eley Match so will give up the 50 rather than pay that much more for ammo. It holds its own in 200 yard silhouette on NRA animals. Best score was a 43 this past year as I recall. Our club adds a "lollipop" at each distance to keep things interesting. And turkeys seem to be my nemesis. The LUX is actually fond of CCI blue box but the occasional flyer is inevitable in ammo of that price. Too bad that SCAR triggers aren't available anymore as that really was the best modification I've made to it. Congrats on finding a great rifle, enjoy !

 

Thank you for your service SIR 🇺🇸! You will love the MTR! I have one as well as an @1 and really enjoy them both. My MTR however is a build but still love the stock especially after I customized it.

Anyway have fun and enjoy!

 

Love my MTR! I need to shoot it with my Anschutz 64BRS, see who can do what?
