If you seek expert experience in barrel customization, Whidden Prefit Barrels is the ideal choice for your CZ457. Mike was knowledgeable and responsive expert, was more than willing to address all my inquiries.
I recently ordered the Criterion with a 26-inch barrel. When it arrived, it was a beautiful piece of art. The barrel fit the CZ457 receiver perfectly, and the existing stock had ample room to float.
Jeremy took care testing for the best ammunition lot and brand to ensure I had a great experience out of the box.
The best part was taking it to the range to see how all would come together and give me a great set up to compete in benchrest with my club and in the William Buck memorial.
The first five shots I made covered a circle smaller than a dime, which left me in awe. The cold bore shot was flawless, and the remaining four shots followed in a tight circle. After getting the scope sighted in, the additional five shot groups were just as impressive as the first.
The Criterion, along with Center-X and my 457 is a perfect combination.
I couldn’t be happier with the full experience Whidden provided from start to first shots.
