Ok, its very new still, but a few videos are appearing. I was quite struck on these, but my primary need was dusk/dark. I've only seen the one direct night comparison with the Alpex 4K and I'm disappointed, to the extent I'm going to hold off on getting a new Pro. Clarity, without and with, additional illumination, at night falls short of the 4K. The objective lens is smaller than the 4k and that has been suggested as the reason. Both 50mm Focal length apparently (but an obviously smaller lens in the Pro) and the 4k is a 1.2 and the Pro is a 1.8, something on the 4k makes it be

I've recently got the HMR version, but I suspect all the Synthetic are the same basically. I am a big fan of CZ, I have 2 x .22LR, 1 x HMR and 1 x WMR all new at the time and all model 452. Over the years I have felt no need to change as they all performed very well out of the box and continue to, even now. Just a bit of fettling with trigger springs etc upfront. They are all field guns and get a lot of use. Anyway, I got the urge to get a new 457 HMR in place of my 452. (My 452 HMR was very probably the first sold in the UK as I got it from the dealer first thing in the morn

OK, I tried adding a bit of extra rubber to the bipod saddle but not really a great solution. So, what I've actually done now, is smooth out the moulding lines on the rifle stud, and filed a very small amount out of the hole the stud fixings go through on the Bipod. Job done.

Do you have one or have you used one please? (or the non LRF version) Realistically, how far can you identify a rabbit well enough to shoot in total darkness..... 1 . Straight out of the box with no artificial illumination? 2. With decent artificial illumination? Many thanks.

Black Sun V20 VCSEL Laser IR illuminator Anyone use one of these please? What's your opinion please, what sort of distances does it give you shootable vision? Many thanks.

Bog Death Grip Clamping Aluminium Tripod Shooting Stick Anyone got one of these please, your comments on it appreciated. Many thanks.

I've just treated myself to a new one in HMR. Replaced my 452, still have .22lr and WMR in 452. The 452 was, and still is, a great model, just fancied a 457. Anyway, the moulded studs on the Synthetic 457. I've had an issue with the Harris Bipod not fitting snug, so had to pad the stock fitting section, and now I find the Sling doesn't fit the stud holes, tried 3 different slings, all the same. Is it just me, or have other Synthetic 457 owners had similar issues? Cheers

My Harris bipod was used on my 452 and fitted a treat, it doesn't seem to like the 457, the gun stock studs are much bigger and the Bipod struggles to pull it tight. Padding out the bipod should work, I'm looking at the self adhesive neoprene as first choice.

Hi Everyone I've just got a CZ457 synthetic in HMR. My Harris 6-9 swivel with stud attachment seems to be having a slight issue. The studs are quite big on the gun and the Bipod will not attach tight, have any of you had a similar problem? I'm thinking of padding out the bipod where it attaches to the stock but I'm not sure what to use. Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions? Cheers

Problem is, that's too true to be funny!!!!

Thanks for replies. After a lot of research I've settled on another SM11. To be specific another SM1116. My existing SM1116 was showing internal signs of wear, and I managed to pick up a new one at a good price.

I'm out of touch, I've had the same SM11 moderator on my HMR for what must be 15 years or more. What's new, is there something better/smaller/lighter/even cheaper? What are you all using these days, and what are your views? Cheers

Anyone got one?? What are your views please? What else is as good/better for a similar price please? Many thanks.

Can you believe this??? This fox has no idea how lucky it is on several levels!!! It is a regular, (I have lots around me), and I noticed a few days ago it had been injured, I suspect a RTC, anyway it seems much improved now. It is cheeky beyond belief, and seems remarkably tame at the moment, probably due to injury, but I suspect some of the neighbours feed them round here. So, I just went out into the back garden and left the door open, I came back and found this...... ...and then it even started chewing at my slippers!!!!!!

Yep, spot on!
