CZ 457 22lr or Ruger American Target 22lr

[Old Grey]

CZ457 Varmint - walnut. LOVE it. Also have several ruger`s as well, great shooters. But the CZ457 is a better gun without any doubt.

I have a CZ 457 Varmint that I have not regretted one bit.

I have a Ruger American Target 22lr with a Leopold rimfire scope that I was offered to trade for a Single 10 that I have been wanting, but if I trade i want another bolt action 22 rifle and the only one I can find to my liking is a CZ 457 I would have to add a scope so I am looking at $800 or so but I would have a revolver also. Then again I can keep the Ruger and get a 9 shot Heritage for alot cheaper than the CZ. What would you do ?

I have the 457. It’s on the top of my list out performs my kimber government and my christin arms by far.

Own a Ruger American Predator in 204 Ruger and CZ -457 Varmints in 204 Ruger & 223. The first Ruger American Predator in 204 Ruger was all over the place and sent it back. Factory concurred and sent me a new one. Granted, these are all centerfire but just passing along my personal experience. CZ has a rock solid reputation.

CZ 457 Varmint with YoDave trigger spring takes the cake.

Crazy good. Mine likes Eley Tenex, RWS R50 and Lapua Midas. One holes groups at 50yds.

CZ. And any of them for that matter (452, 455 or 457). I have a 452 that I’ve done some work to, no real need for it since it shot phenomenal stock, but I just like tinkering and adding to my firearms!

No experience with the Ruger American, but my Ruger 77/22 is a magnificent firearm.

Thanks for mentioning the 77/22. Got an older one, well over 25yrs old. Got a cheap 4x Bushnell on it--mounted that years ago a trial. Shoots so well, never took it off. Sh!tload of fun at 50yds. Yes, a magnificent firearm. You'd have to pry it from my cold, dead hands. (Grandson loves it too)
