Title: CZ 457 American Suppressor Ready
Post by: Bret on May 22, 2020, 12:02:34 PM: I'm looking at purchasing a CZ 457 American Suppressor Ready. CZ's item number is 02313. CZ's website indicates that the barrel length is 20.5", but Dahlonega Armory's website indicates that the barrel length is 24.8". Obviously I'd tend to believe CZ's website information more, but since I'd be buying from Dahlonega Armory, I need to be sure. For anyone who has this rifle (item number 02313), what's the actual barrel length?

I put BKL rings on mine and a Weaver V-16 scope.

Post by: Bret on June 03, 2020, 10:31:04 PM: viking499, Do you remember the model number of the rings you purchased? BKL's website is kind of confusing.

Post by: viking499 on June 05, 2020, 09:00:18 AM: 257's for a 1" scope. Will need mediums or high depending on your scope.

I think these are great rings for the money. They will work on a 3/8" or 11mm rail.

Post by: Jiva on June 05, 2020, 09:21:27 AM: +1 on the BKL's. Excellent product and a very good value :)

Post by: viking499 on June 05, 2020, 09:36:34 AM: Must be a run on 22 scope rings too ... :o

Next choice, look for Warne 7.3 rings. Also great rings, just a little more expensive that the BKL's. Still fit 3/8 and 11mm. These seem to sit a little lower, so you might need high's for this model if going with a 40mm objective.

Post by: Bret on June 05, 2020, 07:56:16 PM: I picked it up after work from my dealer. I'm very pleased with the quality. It did come with the 20" barrel. The trigger is great. Here it is as it came out of the box:

Here it is in tacticool configuration with a Bowers Bitty suppressor and 30rd magazine:

Even though I don't yet have a scope, I'm going to shoot it tomorrow just to see how loud it is with and without the suppressor.

Post by: Rorge Retson on December 09, 2021, 08:58:15 PM: So, what ever happened with this test drive?

Also, where did you get that high-cap magazine?

Post by: Bret on December 10, 2021, 12:01:55 AM: Sorry, I should have provided a follow-up. It's amazingly quiet with subsonic ammunition and the suppressor. It's pretty accurate overall as well. The 30rd magazine came directly from CZ if I remember correctly.
