    Cz 455/457 drop in barrel, which one

    Pretty easy for me. I like to be able to set my headspace, and the only manufacturer that provides a way to do that, as far as I know, is Lilja.

    Rimfire Optics ~$100

    Out here, the Athlon scopes are becoming increasingly more popular, especially for Base class rigs. However, even a lot of Open class shooters are using them now. Based on what I saw with my shooting buddy's new Midas TAC, I will probably own one the next time I buy an optic. At all levels of...

    Rimfire Optics ~$100

    You may want to check out the Athlon Talos 3-12x40. My brother just picked up the 4-16x version with mil dot reticle and I was surprised at the clarity and brightness! In addition, it has side paralax adjustment which adjusts down to 15 yds. The reticle is more coarse than I like for...

    Which comes first, rifle or scope

    My personal experience testifies to this. I was a consistent 6th through 10th place finisher at my local PRS style match with what I thought was a great optic. I upgraded it and immediately placed 3rd. For the next 16 straight matches I placed no lower than 5th. Maybe it was just...

    RPRR First NRL22 Match

    "As others have said, you can also just put something under the short one if more height is needed." To the OP.. 2 people have said this now, but I'd recommend checking with your MD before assuming that it will be allowed at your matches. Some MD's may allow it while others will not. I would...

    NEW From Zermatt Arms - RimX Actions

    Haha! I was going to ask you what you meant by your response.. Then I realized that your initials seem to resemble your remarks.. Have a great day!

    NEW From Zermatt Arms - RimX Actions

    I didn't actually have an issue. I mearly had a conversation with them regarding their barrel tenon length and the chamber that they chose. The problem is with me moreso than them if I'm honest. I have troublshot and built a lot of CZ 455's and 457's. I've been able to get them all to shoot...

    NEW From Zermatt Arms - RimX Actions

    Haha.. Yeah, kinda said that in the post above yours.? If I can get consistent .2's from CZ actions with drop-in barrels, I'm pretty sure that you can at least equal that with a well made custom barrel and a RimX.? What tube are you going to go with for your review?

    NEW From Zermatt Arms - RimX Actions

    I'm pretty excited to see what a 6 o'clock pin does as well. I've heard and read a lot about it, but never had a 6 o'clock action to play with. The barrel probably accounts for over 90% of accuracy potential from a rimfire. The RimX action should be fantastic to build off of. After having a...

    NEW From Zermatt Arms - RimX Actions

    Care to quote me when I said the it won't shoot? What I said is... Did you even notice that I used the word "If"? Here's another "If" statement for you... If, they only posted one group, do you think that they only shot one group? Do you think that they would post the worst group of several...

    NEW From Zermatt Arms - RimX Actions

    Hmmm.. One 50 yd 5-shot group that measures ~.420" ctc?! Everything was looking so good until then. Hopefully that group was posted by someone that doesn't officially represent Zermatt/RimX or Proof Research. If that is truely representative of what to expect, I'll happily keep my...

    Need a new rimfire T1X or CZ457?

    It looks like there is a club close to Springfield Mass. There wasn't any additional info for this club on the NRL22 website. You might try calling the gin club for info..

    Amp plates 'legal' in NRL22?

    Read the first page of the January cof. That is where it states what gear is legal for THAT month's cof.

    Amp plates 'legal' in NRL22?

    If you open the December course of fire and read the first couple of pages, it covers allowed equipment for that month's COF. As for what's allowed at Nationals... We probably won't know until a day or two before the match. At least that's what happened last May when it was announced that...

    Need a new rimfire T1X or CZ457?

    That's a great mindset! Love the Vudoo comment.. LMAO! I forgot to ask if you have considered the new Bergara bolt rifle? It obviously doesn't have a chassis, but I've seen enough good groups posted to believe that they are a great NRL22 rifle. Besides that, they look to be an even better...

    Need a new rimfire T1X or CZ457?

    Not trying to be a difficult, but if someone wants to be competetive in the NRL22, their rifle needs to shoot sub-moa.. Period! Most targets are 2 moa in the NRL22, but there are occasions where they are even smaller. Add environmental factors to the bc of a 22lr slug and all of a sudden a...

    Need a new rimfire T1X or CZ457?

    My .02... The only way to know if a missed target was you or a rifle/ammo/optic issue is to eliminate all, or as many as possible, equipment variables. That means a rifle capable of sub MOA accuracy which is shooting properly lot tested ammo, while looking through a clear and reliable optic...

    457 questions

    Scope and ammo questions are very subjective. You've gotten some good suggestions and advice so far. I would ask, what are your plans for this rifle? If just benchrest/casual range days, then the NF that you mention in a later post will be very nice. If you plan on competing in precision...

    Torque Settings CZ457 VPT Action Screws

    Couldn't have said it any better. Mine likes 30, with 20 being almost as good. These rimfires are such fickle creatures.

    Torque Settings CZ457 VPT Action Screws

    I think what Near Miss was getting at is that each rifle will perfom better at different torque values. In my experience with aluminum pillars, I would say to start at 15 inch pounds and work your way to 40. Shoot several groups at each new torque value. I've also found that the first group...
