[QUOTE="Namuh, post: 3064355, member: 127267"] I own a CZ 457 American with the 24" tapered barrel and wood stock. I bought it mainly for hunting and a little target practice and plinking. I scoped it with an older Japanese made Sightron SII 4-16x42 with the adjustable AO and Burris steel rings, the scope is an even pound and the rings are 5oz. The rifle alone weighs an even 6lbs and I could've shaved off a half a pound of the total weight with a different scope and aluminum rings, but as it sits, it weighs in at about seven and a half pounds out the door, slung and loaded. Out of the box the easily adjustable stock trigger pull on mine was set at a heavy, but crisp 4lbs 8oz which I readjusted to 1lb 14oz without any modifications. When you're shooting from a bench how far the magazine sticks out the bottom of the gun isn't much of a concern, but out in the woods I carry a gun around the middle a lot, I took a hard look at the Tikka, but when I was handling it in the store the Tikka's magazine stuck out to far for me to comfortably carry the gun around its waist, I wish the CZ's magazine was flush with the stock, but it's not bad. Overall the 457 is a nice gun and at its price point I don't think you can do much better. I think you'll be very happy with your choice. [/QUOTE]
