The 452 American was one of the best rimfire sporters ever made, exceptionally accurate, and good adjustable trigger, which could be made lighter by changing to a lighter spring. The 455's and 457's are a cheapened product riding the success of the 452's. IMO

This is the truth, the 455 & 457 have way less machining processes and as such are much cheaper to make. But they're all quality guns, I just know having looked over all of them the 452 was made in an era when cost wasn't as much of a consideration.

If you buy the 457 and want to have all three calibers (22lr, 22wmr, and 17hmr) I would suggest buying the rifle and additional barrels as a set. This way headspace is checked at the factory. I bought the rifle and barrels at different times and ran into the cartridge headspace issues. 'Go' and 'No-Go' gauges run about $35 each. I used Plasti-gage red and got lucky on the clearances. If any barrel machining would have been necessary, it wouldn't have been cheap. Just a thought.
@ritesideofthefence5857

How difficult was it to overcome the head space issue. Not being a Gunsmith I just thought if they were cz barrels they would work. Also how can you order all three calibers at once. Is this something CZ offers ? Sorry for the lame questions but after 20 years with my 452 lux I’ve decided to purchase a 457 American as was hoping to eventually purchase barrels in all calibers.

Your 3 series Cross-section comparison is very informative .These 457's have all of the improvements to bring them into the Anschutz grade of rifles. I myself would say that the pillar bedding , the reduced bolt travel , adjustable trigger, magazine finger well and even the cocking indicator pin would be more of an improvement to note than the change of safety direction . I do like your accuracy commentary and rate of speaking , keep 'em coming ... Skwerl.

The Excellent CZ 452 had the barrel threaded into the action permanently. The CZ 455 went to a slip fit barrel clamp so different calibers can be used in the same rifle. Which is something popular in Europe, but less known in the US. I haven't found the safety difficult to get used to on the older guns.

It’s always been a regret that I never picked up a 453 (Single set trigger model) or 452 Ultra Lux. I’ve got a 452 Trainer and while it’s not the shiniest rifle, it shoots like a laser. I can’t say a 455 or 457 would shoot worse but none of the “improvements” CZ made (save for the adjustable trigger) were for any purpose other than cost/ease of manufacturing. I don’t remember anyone clambering for a swappable barrels on the 452 and that feature necessitates a “one bolt for all” system that has to sacrifice some precision for the ability to accommodate different cartridge sizes.

If the 452 is built from higher quality parts then I will probably pick that. I’m not too overly fussed in the slight differences in accuracy, I just want a rifle that will last.
