Hi all, I’m wondering if anyone has a CZ457 and actively changes the barrels for different calibers? Perhaps .22 to .22 mag etc. Is it practical and does accuracy suffer in any meaningful way?
Cheers

I have cz457 now as well which stay 22lr. The 22 mag barrel I have stays in the box.
You can swap barrels and count scope clicks and be pretty close. But I usually find you need 5 or 6 click either side to get it sighted in perfectly. I’d prefer sight in after barrel change but it can be pretty close.

I have a cz455 only with the 22lr. Interested in selling the wmr barrel?

It stays in the box because I’m not really happy with the accuracy. I didn’t try every ammo type. Probably has less than 150 rounds down the barrel. But as I am more than a bit iffy about it’s accuracy potential I’d rather not part with it.
