I think I’ve found “the one”:
For many a year I’ve been on the hunt for MY ideal .22 rimfire rifle.
I’ve gone through a bunch of them, sold most. But guys I think this one’s a keeper.
This is my Česká zbrojovka Uherský Brod Model 457 repeating bolt-actuated rimfire magazine rifle chambered to discharge 5,6mm x 15R smokeless powder metallic cartridges (.22LRs).
Guys, from the match adjustable trigger, Turkish walnut, weatherproof nitride, sleek balance, fast slick bolt, changeable barrels, and outstanding dependability and accuracy, it’s a “no brainer”.
Sure, it’s not as modern or tacticool as an S&W M&P-22, but I’ll bet you donuts to dineros it’ll outshoot it and it makes a fantastic plinker, small gamer, bencher, trailing piece, you name it.
I’ve got about one brick through it at this point on the road and it’s been one-hundred per-cent reliable and shoots better than me any day and twice a week and more than once on Sunday.
I’ve got it fitted with one of Leupold’s fine 3-9x40 telescopes set in Warnes, and it’s got a Montana brand carrying sling that I just love. It goes from hasty to stowage like that and looks good, too.
The stock of the piece features elegant French inspired chequering that provides a firm handhold in moisture. There’s also a comfortable recoil pad that helps “stick” the butt to the shoulder nicely.
Overall, I know I keep showing this Chechen beauty off, but don’t mind me.
