CZ 453 bolt/sear problem

[oldfatguy]

When I adjust the trigger on my CZ 453 for a very lite pull the bolt will over run the sear and go back too far if I run it hard enough to eject. When adjusted for heavier trigger pull and the bolt stops reliably. So how can I have great trigger and reliability?

OFG,
Lets start with your model number.... Is it really 453?

My 453 has a set trigger and is easily adjusted for lite pull.

OP, what you're describing is a downside of CZ's design that uses the sear as the bolt stop, my 455 has the same issue. I'm not aware of any fixes, but would cheerfully be corrected; I inquired once about an aftermarket side bolt-stop installation, but whoever it was I was talking to said they didn't think there was enough material there for it I think.

Yes AGS, it really is a 453 with set trigger. I don’t use the set because of the vast over travel.
