Yes they do. But they always work and load easy.Do the 10 round magazines hang way out the bottom?
Hmmm, that is ugly. I could be happy with the 5 round magazine. Give and take. The thing that has kept me from getting a CZ is that I do not like the magazine at all. I am okay with single stack 5 round designs in a relatively inexpensive or middle platform like the Mark II but not above that price range. At that point I want to be able to load 10 rounds and have the magazine flush.
I am sure they are but that is a full stop for me. I would settle for the five rounder but not the ten. I had a Marlin semi that used a 10 round magazine when I was a child. I hated that thing because it was always hanging up and sticking out and rattling around. And it sticks out where I like to wrap my hand during carry. No go for me, CZ or not. Their next CZ 4XX needs to have a rotary magazine or even, heck, a tube magazine. I just do not buy rifles that do not have flush or nearly flsuh magazines. For the high end price of a CZ, that needs some improvement. The five rounder is okay, just not what I would expect for an otherwise really nice and fairly expensive rifle.The 10 round CZ mags look just fine when shouldering and shooting the gun. They are probably the best .22 LR stick mags I've ever used.
Yes. But I think that is more money and effort than the OP wants. Fortunately, the stock sporter matches I shoot are not up to that high standard. Some are offhand, Seniors are allowed a front rest only. But the rifles have to be pretty accurate to win. All shots touching at 25 or better.i have been reluctant to post on this thread, dont want to seem arrogant. if you truly shoot matches with 22 rifles, the following accuracy is what is needed....50 feet, same hole. 25 yards? need to examine the back side of the target to tell if it is more than one shot. 50yards, dime size absolutely max group. 100 yards, quarter absolutely max qroup.
....unless you are extremely lucky this requires a good gun, good ammo and a high end scope, a sightron III, would be a starting point.
...rifle? anschutz gets it done along with match ammo.
...my czs out shoot my rem 541x, my mossberg match rifles, and my savage sporters. my kimber can be occasionally up to the task...if i can get lucky now and then....fwiw.
Utter nonsense. I just tested my three Ruger American Rimfires, two Savage MKII/93 guns and my CZ 457 American. They're all within a few ounces of each other with an average of about 3.5lbs. All crisp and smooth.Savages and Rugers have crappy triggers out of the box, the CZ isn’t a benchrest trigger by any means, but it’s mucho better than the gritty garbage the other two come with.
And it is easy to adjust or upgrade the CZ trigger.The Mossberg 144 is still my pick for used, but darn accurate with anything you put through it and reasonably priced. The CZ 457 at $600 is the best bang for the buck new. You have to remember our money isn’t very valuable now vs 25 years ago, so $600 ain’t that much.

Believe it or not, my best factory trigger is a Winchester 94 1971 NRA commemorative. It's perfectly safe but light and crisp at about 1.5lbs.I keep hearing that and am rather perplexed. The two best triggers I have encountered of late on production rifles, one is my CVA .44 Magnum and the other is a Benjamin Marauder air rifle . Neither of my Mark 2 rifles have bad triggers nor does my Marlin .17 HMR. But it has a target trigger and some other stuff installed.

Springfield 2020 Rimfire Target would be a good choice don’t have one but would like one.If all your looking for is accurate and easy to shoot then a savage, ruger American/American target. Maybe a little nicer (on average) but not "expensive" Then cz457, bergara bmr, and the tikka...after that your paying for features, fit n finish, etc
I love my Christensen Ranger, but its not cheap.
Are you seriously comparing a Jewel or Shilen trigger to one that comes on a $200 rifle??? Context, it kinda matters.Try out a jewel or shilen trigger then tell me if yours are “crisp and smooth.”
Ive had a mkii fv and step one was a rifle basix trigger before I ever shot it. The accutrigger was gritty, and had some slop. The rifle basix trigger was way better in form and function, not benchrest better, but mint for a $275 gun. It would shoot, popped golf balls at 100yds with mini mags repeatedly, the gun wasn’t the problem if a miss happened.
Never shot a Ruger precision, the few I’ve handled in shops had gritty sandpaper feeling triggers, may have been Friday afternoon assemblies and I just unlucked into handling them, bolt movement and lockup on them were rock solid though, savage was the same on the bolt, rock solid.
