Cz457 mtr

[TonyB555]

I have recently bought myself a new CZ457 with Walnut stock. A very nice rifle with good accuracy. There is a problem. The trigger weight from the factory is 4lbs. This is too high for a target rifle. A spring kit is available from the USA and I bought one and fitted it. This reduced the trigger pull to 1.8lbs which I think is still too heavy for a target rifle. The next step is to fit a Timney trigger for £200. This will allow the trigger to be adjusted down to 10 ounces, which is a little light, I would prefer about 1lb. Why does an excellent target rifle have such a poor trigger?

I recently bought a synthetic 457 and the trigger spring was heavy so i replaced it with a Biro spring and now it is just under a lb.
Sweet as a nut. I use mine for rabbiting.

I thought the 457 trigger was fully adjustable, unlike the old 452.

I tried adjusting mine as seen on youtube but it made no difference. So a lighter spring was the answer.

There are a few suggestions online on how to tune up the triggers such as the following .

I’ve done this on a dozen or more cz’s down the club. It makes a huge difference. Easy to do and equally easy to undo.

I think the manufacturers put a huge trigger pull on as standard so that you can’t sue them if you have an accidental discharge.

Rimfire magic sell trigger kits for these and they not silly money.
