My new 457 LPR is shooting incredibly well and I have been able with the help of this excellent video to get the trigger down to 9 oz's on my RCBS trigger pull gauge. Love CZ as a company.
Thanks! I am pleased to report that you can reach the take-up screw with the short end of your tiny 1.5mm, WITHOUT taking anything apart. I wanted more travel, like my Timney two-stage, and I got it (counter-clockwise) without botching any screws. My 457 AT-ONE produces sub-3 MOA groups regularly....peep sights at 25 yds...age 74. Two other thoughts: the torque on the action screws is 31 in.lbs., per the stock change vid.....Contrary to one rumor, mine eats CCI Quiet .22’s all day long, the tight CZ lockup makes them really quiet. Added take-up, without take-down....5 in one big hole.....one click high. I might as well poke holes in the bullseye before I hang the target, and save on ammo.
@CZ firearms: are you sure, that the overtravel adjustment is presented the right way in this video? Shouldn't tighten the screw reduce the amount of overtravel? Beause when I tighten the screw completely, the shot will not break - holding the trigger and losening the screw (turning it out) will release the firing pin after 1/2 turn with zero overtravel. If I keep turning the screw outwards, the amount of overtravel increases.
Replacing my Ruger 10.22 trigger with a KIDD trigger set to 8+8oz, I am convinced I will adjust my 457 to something like that. Excessive trigger pull, in my view, causes the gun to flinch as it all pings into a different position... Thanks for the vid. Just what I need...
I love hand guns since a can remember. I tell you, that if I had the money I would buy at least tow of these beautiful hand guns. I am one of your biggest fans. From Panama, Campo Elias. So long
I got mine down to one pound by simply following the directions above, without any different springs. Got the 1st stage to a nice, short travel, into a "wall" that just "clicks" when the shot fires. Shoots like a 300.00 aftermarket trigger right from the factory with nothing additional purchased.
Is there any general setup for these screws? As I understand it, the two second screws in this video is depending on each other. How do I start if I start from scratch?
Hi, I have shooting my CZ457 Varmint and loving it. Please may you tell me what weight the trigger is set at from the factory and what can it be reduced to? Thank you.
Every one is going to be just a little bit different, buy trigger scale and do it yourself. A quick read through the comments on this video has some people getting the trigger down to about half a pound.
How can you strip the thread. All you are doing is adjusting the position of the screw within the mechanism. You're not clamping anything down tight. It's not scope rings or stock bolts..🥴
@@brucebell1809 should’ve clarified, the head in the 1.5mm hex screw. They strip out very easy due to the small size of the tool and not a lot of engagement. Yeah the application here doesn’t take much torque but dealing with 1.5mm hex anything is awful
Not a lot of support for the 557 owners. I have a cz 557 short action lux 308win and there's no videos like this. Please can you do a bolt disassembly and trigger adjustments vid for them? Would be very helpful as I can't find any customer service help only sales branches in Europe or US. After sale support is very important with firearms. Any help would be appreciated.
@UC8iwxSVC1Vz4zPIQsk5GV8Q yeah, I took it apart and put a lighter spring from an ink pen in it. Honestly, I don't remember what weight I got it down to, but it was signifcantly better.
You mean the sticker they put on it, like every other long gun manufacturer puts on as well? They can easily (and should) be removed by the purchaser. Don’t be a dope, it’s for marketing and easy identification when they’re on a rack at a store.
As much as I like my new American 22wmr I am going to give Cz a thumbs down for their adjustable trigger. It was a big reason why I bought this gun. I was able to get mine down to an inconsistent 2 1/2 lbs with really no help from this video. P.S. where are the extra barrels? That was another reason I have two cz rimfires
What is the minimum pounds the trigger can be set for? After coaching and shooting off hand and 3 position with Anschutz rifles for decades, I really need my new CZ 457 Varmint AT-ONE rifle to be able to go down to about 7 ounces. My fear is, as usual, the minimum is about a pound and a half, which will force me to purchase after market.
Mr Damon, I think theses are 2 almost completely different rifles. The Anschutz a first class target rifle (almost as good as my Lithgow 101 😂👍) while the 457 Varmint is a hunting rifle although can do a great job at double duty if it needs to. I for one wouldn’t feel all that comfortable walking round the woods with a 7oz trigger squirrel hunting! Kind regards from across the pond
@@longbeardmcstruttin5876 the manual states, "does not recommend excessive dry firing (firing without ammunition). It is advisable to use snap caps for dry training as they are intended for this purpose."
Here you can see where a lighter trigger is made. CZ say that the lightening of the trigger is done by the front bolt ua-cam.com/video/TiUVoqf5AiY/v-deo.html
You can't adjust the trigger down past 2lbs and that's ashame that you have to buy a trigger for a cz to have a good trigger I own 5 czs but that trigger is the worst. Do something about that. Beagleman
I have just bought the 457 LRP. Can anyone tell me how to insert the spacers in the back of the stock to increase the pull? It isn't explained anywhere in the instructions which is pretty poor.
When tightening the hex screw it's a good idea to hold the set screw with its hex wrench to prevent the setting from changing.

I just received my 457 American today I cannot wait to shoot it it’s beautiful rifle super blessed to have it
Now we need a complete bolt disassembly. Thanks.

So long
Update..
I REMOVED the adjustment screw altogether... MUCH better.....
With the YoDave trigger spring, I can get the trigger pull to one pound. Without it I couldn't get the pull to below 2.5 pounds.
I got mine down to one pound by simply following the directions above, without any different springs. Got the 1st stage to a nice, short travel, into a "wall" that just "clicks" when the shot fires. Shoots like a 300.00 aftermarket trigger right from the factory with nothing additional purchased.
Yeah mine is around 1lb 5 oz with stock trigger
Mine is the same way. Mine only went down to 2.5lbs before the screw came out. Im going to order the YoDave springs.
Is there any general setup for these screws? As I understand it, the two second screws in this video is depending on each other. How do I start if I start from scratch?
Perfect explanation. Thank you

Great video. Easy setting in 457 Thumbhole. Thanks by the way : )
Buona sera, ottimo video, ben spiegato. Dopo dovendo rimontare il calcio quale è la coppia di serraggio originale di fabbrica
Thank you,nice video.
Really... a 1.5mm and 2mm screw?? Just make them both 2mm. 1.5mm screws are worthless and just too easy to strip.

I prerequisite to watching this video is the "CZ 457 stock change" from CZ Firearms.
When are the 10 round magazines coming????????? Not much fun shooting 22 PRS with the MTR and a single 5 round magazine. Ridiculous
Cz457 bolt disassembly, please.

Interesting, thanks. What is their factory trigger pressure setting? Thanks in advance...
I don’t know for certain, but if I had to guess I’d say it’s upward of 2.5 lbs maybe 3!
Mine is quite heavy! Hence why I’m here
Is it possible to remove the safety switch at this stage?
Got a new spring plus the adjustments it’s a shooter.
I bought a new 457 American a few weeks ago. No matter how much I back the trigger weight screw out, I can't get it to pull less than 3.5lbs.
@UC8iwxSVC1Vz4zPIQsk5GV8Q yeah, I took it apart and put a lighter spring from an ink pen in it. Honestly, I don't remember what weight I got it down to, but it was signifcantly better.
Me too.can’t understand why it won’t go up or down in weight
@@davidfrederick392 Same here. My new 457 LRP always around 3.5lbs no matter how I adjust the screw.
Why did CZ ruin what would have been a beautiful 457 Premium rifle by putting the gaudy, ridiculous-looking name tags on the stock?
You mean the sticker they put on it, like every other long gun manufacturer puts on as well? They can easily (and should) be removed by the purchaser. Don’t be a dope, it’s for marketing and easy identification when they’re on a rack at a store.
@@chevyon37s no, he means how the used a router to carve the name literally into the wood in large, gaudy letters on the side of the rifle...
Clock wise, anti clockwise,ok👍
Can the rifle be shot without the tension adjustment screw and nut? To achieve the absolute minimum trigger weight?
No, otherwise the trigger would never reset and would stay disengaged.
with this full adjustable factory trigger, why ppl still buy timney or any other brand trigger group? I don't get it.
Is it the same for left handed bolts?
As much as I like my new American 22wmr I am going to give Cz a thumbs down for their adjustable trigger. It was a big reason why I bought this gun. I was able to get mine down to an inconsistent 2 1/2 lbs with really no help from this video. P.S. where are the extra barrels? That was another reason I have two cz rimfires
Is the adjustment for the CZ 557 exactly the same?....... thank you
That was easy. Thank u.
😁👍 Awesome!
Has CZ stopped production in the Czech Republic due to COVID19?
no
Torque specs for action screws?
31 in lbs
What do you do if you accidentally go beyond those thresholds, do you just turn the screw back the other way?
Cheers Mate!
What is the minimum pounds the trigger can be set for?

My fear is, as usual, the minimum is about a pound and a half, which will force me to purchase after market.
The lightest I could get my 457 MTR was 2.0 pounds

I got my MTR down to 11oz
That over travel advice must be wrong.... To get less over travel I screw that in not out to reduce it!!!!
Started at 1.5Kg and removed almost the whole screw to finish around 1.4Kg... a bit disappointed tbh
Can 457's be dry fired? Trying to get trigger pull weights without live or dummy .22lr.
Solved my own problem once I read the instruction manual.
I just read my manual because I am curious as well, I could not find an answer? What is the correct way
@@longbeardmcstruttin5876 the manual states, "does not recommend excessive dry firing (firing without ammunition). It is advisable to use snap caps for
dry training as they are intended for this purpose."
I can't made it less than 53 oz. Comlitly loosen it.
Do not belive this video if you have a CZ 457 MTR in 2022 the real adjustment is completely different
Here you can see where a lighter trigger is made. CZ say that the lightening of the trigger is done by the front bolt ua-cam.com/video/TiUVoqf5AiY/v-deo.html
How much lrice
You can't adjust the trigger down past 2lbs and that's ashame that you have to buy a trigger for a cz to have a good trigger I own 5 czs but that trigger is the worst. Do something about that.

You can't find a setting it won't go down what part of this don't you understand????????
Beagleman
Why don't you show the CZ 457 bolt assembly? It is a very important part.
Must be cleaned after shooting
Must de cleaned ??
Never showed us how to clean an oven too !
bolt assembly doesn't need to be cleaned until over 1000 shots
