A while back I bought a CZ 457 VPC and was happy with it, then I bought an almost new CZ 457 MTR, but absolutely hated the stock. I have nerve damage in my hand and found the odd grip, unusable. I put the barreled action into the VPC chassis, the results have been very good, along with the Bergara B14R Steel, is now the best shooting rifle I own. The barreled action from the VPC, has now been installed in a CZ 457 synthetic stock and is now one of my favorite rifles. The 16.5” heavy barrel and the synthetic stock make a great package.
