CZ needs to start making Picatinny 1913 rails as a factory receiver option, at least for the US market. It's ridiculous how pretty much everyone with these rifles has to cobble together an optic mount.
You would think right?
Always torque from the center fasteners out to the end fasteners. Nice rifle !
Exactly what I was going to say but then I read your comment. :)
Thanks for the video, I'm picking up a CZ 457 American next week. I'm going to pick up the same rail. Blue loctite will be fine I use it on set screws all the time.
I ordered mine in April. Just picked it up today! The exact rifle. Shot some suppresed this afternoon...amazing!
Cool! Hope you like it.
@@ZackCarlson love it
If its permanent you should be putting on loctite on the rail where it meets the receiver... clean up the mess let dry for 24 hours. If you're really paranoid you should also look up the dry vs wet torque values and set your torque driver accordingly when using loctite as it alters the torque values to wet instead of dry.
The mount is designed to lock on the underside of the machined mount on the receiver. The set screws lift the picatinny rail away from the receiver to lock in place on the machined receiver groove. So if applying LocTite it would need to be used sparingly in the original receiver groove. "I" recommend NOT doing this, stick with the purple LocTite on the setecrews only.
Have you had any issues with the set screws or mount loosening up?
Nice & clear instructions- thanks! Why does any manufacturer use anything other than Piccatenny? What is their rationale?
Probably own a stake in rail adapters lol. But really they probably do
Thanks, I’m going to order the rail today. I see 5 thumbs down, it’s seems even gun related video gets about the same. Makes me think maybe some anti gun people just go video to video doing this. Well thanks for the clear easy to follow video.
No problem.
What type bipod do you have there?
Good
Thanks for watching.
Have you had any issues with the bolt hitting the rings with this rail? Or problems with the rail walking out?
Sorry I ended up selling this rifle.
Hello Zach
Is this the 16.5 inch barrel?
Thanks
Yep, the 16 version.
Thank you Zach for the response, I have another question, I checked your channel and I saw you have a video of the tikka T1X. Which one you like better the 457 or T1X?
Thanks
What MOA is the rail?
DIP offers 0 and 25 MOA rails. Most choose 25 MOA for 22LR rifles for longer distance shooting provided their scope has enough adjustment to still reach down to 50 yards or whatever they want for the minimum distance. Area 419 offers 0 MOA and 30 MOA rails.
so is there no drilling needed? is it literally just gluing the screws to the divets?
Some rifle receivers come with threaded holes for mounting picatinny rails.
Still holding solid all these years later?
This gun has moved on to someone else, I kept my Tikka. It shot better for me than the 457.
Why do you use a different rail other than the dovetail rail already on the rifle?
Because sometimes you have a scope and rings on hand, before the rifle purchase, and requires a picitinny rail.
Just buy 11mm dovetail rings. Not that difficult.
Unless you need built in cant in the rail.
But then again they have rings for that too.
I read that dovetail rails are the common rail used in Europe while many in the USA prefer picatinny. Many already have the picatinny rails on other rifles and already have picatinny rings. I recall reading that some 34 mm scopes claimed it was harder to find dovetail rings that size. Some may just prefer the available picatinny rings.
They just recently discontinued this 457 model. Not sure why though. Great video.
Probably because that boyds stock is a pile of crap.
What base did u use under this Picatinny? What brand, what model? I really hate we
have 2 use two basis for mounting any ding (thing). i want a peep sight at the end of
the receiver, far back as possible to maximize the sight radius. Butttttto can't bc
the CZ in infinite wisdom placed a bolt release button-bar there. the only way
seems 2B to change the U-notched leaf to a peep disc or put the 11 mm European
dovetail base, then place a compatible peep sight unit at the back. Butttttto i can't
find dattttto peep sight to fit datttttto PickAtinny base. Does any one know if a Leeman
or Williams etc peep sight unit fit directly to this Europeeeen 11mm dovetail directly or
indirectly? Just how? And if the dovetail on the older 455 compatible w this newer 457?
Yah, being the biggest buyers of CZ units in the USA vs. all of the Europeeeen mkt,
why oh why can they cater to us? Dattttto includdddoooo what so called their
'American' model. No American mounting, just same as any 457s sold here.
AREA 419 HAS A BETTER SCOPE RAIL
Different strokes for different folks I suppose.
Much more expensive version. $100 vs $40.
What is better about it?
@@spartancaptain5691 I think one reason is it has a recoil lug.
Have you had any issues with the scope rail screws moving or loosening up?
