Product Description
Built to be an ideal first gun for young shooters, the Scout has a short
12? length of pull. With simple leaf rear sight and blade front (rear
adjustable for windage, front for elevation), learning the basics of
sight picture has never been easier. 11mm dovetails on the receiver make
adding a scope a breeze.
Own a suppressor? 457 Scouts have a muzzle
that?s threaded 1/2×28, allowing for hearing-safe shooting without the
need for muffs or plugs.
Adding a larger stock is easier than ever
once kids outgrow the short length of pull, as all 457s use the same
stock inletting (with two barrel channels specific to standard and
varmint-weight barrels). The entire 457 platform is modular, meaning
swapping different barrels/chamberings or stocks is done quickly and
easily with only a few tools.
Shipped with a single shot adapter to teach ammo conservation, any 457/455 magazine will fit, from 5 to 25 rounds.
If
we were to pick one thing that our previous rimfire platforms were
lacking, it was an American-style push-to-fire safety ? something
Hunter?s Education instructors and 4-H shooting coaches have begged us
to incorporate for years. Though that was the most obvious change, we
also took the opportunity to tweak a load of small things at the same
time. In addition to the receiver-mounted, push-to-fire safety, we
chopped almost an inch of length from the action and slab-sided it to
reduce its footprint and weight.
The stamped bottom metal of the 455
is gone, swapped for a classy two-piece interlocking system. To make
scope fitment easier, we ditched the 90° bolt rotation in favor of 60°,
allowing for larger ocular bell diameters with lower ring heights. To
top it all off, the 457 now features a trigger adjustable for weight,
creep and over-travel.
With the exact same swappable barrel system as
the 455 and the same reliable polymer magazine system, the 457 is
without a doubt the best rimfire platform we?ve ever fielded.
