CZ Barrels

Post by Kaos » 06 Feb 2021, 8:34 am

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’ve swapped barrels around a bit. 17hmr to .22 LR mainly. That was with my cz455. I still have my cz 455 but leave it set up as 17hmr.
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?

There is a sako quad scope that can be sighted in to the 4 calibers that the quad was available in way back when they started selling these switch barrel rifles . But from my Knowledge and looking for one myself . They are as rare as rocking horse s#*t unfortunately

Why can’t people expend 2 rounds to zero? You do realize, we are talking less than a dollar’s worth of munis here peoples... just sayin
At what point does lack of maintenance become patina?

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.

No worries. I’m a bit undecided about the barrel swap idea, because I’d probably do the same thing and leave it in the box. it’s tempting though and I guess eventually they’ll be hard to come by.
