I’ve been using the MDT XRS chassis for my CZ 457 for a few months now, and the weight savings are amazing! It feels much lighter without sacrificing stability.

That’s great to hear! How adjustable is it? I’m looking for something that can be tailored to my preferences.

The adjustability is fantastic! You can tweak the length of pull and cheek riser easily, which is perfect for different shooting styles.

5

That’s definitely a plus! Does it also accommodate various accessories? I want to mount a bipod and possibly a scope.

Absolutely! The MDT XRS has a ton of mounting options for bipods, scopes, and even flush cups for sling attachments. Super versatile.

I heard the MDT XRS is compatible with the CZ 457 factory parts. Is that true? I think it could save me some hassle during installation.

Yes, it is! You can swap the chassis without needing to modify your rifle much at all.

The price tag can be a bit steep though. Is the performance really that much better than the factory stock? Just trying to weigh my options here.

In my experience, yes! The stability and comfort really enhance my shooting experience. But it’s all about personal preference.

I used a torque wrench and a bit of Loctite on my screws. Ensuring everything is secured was key for me. A little prep goes a long way!

17

Wow, that’s solid advice! I’m looking to get this chassis too. Did you run into any particular challenges while mounting the action?

18

Mounting the action was a bit tricky, but using some blue Loctite helped. Make sure not to over-tighten it, or you’ll have a nightmare on your hands later when adjusting it!
