A couple weeks ago I got a CZ 457 Varmint MTR and mounted a Weaver Classic V-Series 4-16X with Warne rings.
Recently the weather finally broke and got a few hours at the range.
After sighting in, I started breaking in the barrel with Eley Standard Velocity ammo.
Here a picture of one of the targets with a 5 shot group.
I'm wondering what this rifle will do once the barrel gets broke in and shooting Match Grade ammo. cz 457 varmint mtr.jpg CZ Target 2.jpg
 
I just purchased a 457 Varmint in 17HMR, got it out once to get it on paper at 35 yards, and ran out of time. Need to get it out again and get it zeroed for 100 yards.

If one is familiar with CZ's (452/455), the 457 has some good changes. My Varmint came pillar bedded, they have a forward to fire safety, 60* bolt throw to clear more scopes and I appreciate the nitride finish on the metal for a field rifle.

Those MTR's like you have, have a match chamber, I will be curious to see what type of accuracy you get with it once it settles in. How many yards was that 5 shot group?

Thanks, that was 50 yards off a benchrest. I mounted a Weaver Classic V-Series 4-16X 42 A/O scope with fine crosshair and target dot recital with Warne scope rings.
 
Nice rifle, with those groups with non match ammo shows potential of being a one hole shooter
I have a 455 varmint precision trainer, literally shot one hole at 50y with wolf match 22lr
 
Grimmy, let us know how she shoots with match ammo. To get my groups, I installed an after market trigger....and installed a bubble level to try out, surprised it works for me... To get the outmost accuracy from my rifle.
