    Kids Supergrade won’t cycle reliably with Wolf

    I was going to suggest the same thing. If I remember correctly, Wolf has a pretty low published velocity... Like around 1050 fps? However, in a short barreled semi auto, it's probably running a little slower than that.

    Rimfire myth busting and cold hard data

    For For cleaning a carbon ring, hands down C4 over rimfire blend. I was turned on to Bore Tech Rimfire Blend by Don Smith. It was alright, but I was having to scrub my chamber with a bronze brush to get the toughest parts of a ring cleaned. I stumbled across C4 at a lgs and have not looked...

    Flat Trigger Shoe for a CZ 457?

    Definitely double check that. My understanding was that any rail, ARCA or Picatinny, would disqualify a rifle from base class. I remember it being said that "a bipod rail is only acceptable for a base class rifle if it is part of the rifle as it comes from the manufacturer." I am getting...

    Rimfire myth busting and cold hard data

    I'm looking forward to your findings. Over the years, shooting several rifles barreled with Lilja and Benchmark barrels, depending on ammo brand, specifically bullet lube type, I can guess what you'll find in regards to clean vs dirty bore and chamber. Here's something for you to experiment...

    Flat Trigger Shoe for a CZ 457?

    Rolltide.. I don't know if you've checked out the Athlon line of scopes, but you may want to look into them before you purchase an optic. I've seen a few folks have trouble with the Cabelas scopes, and since Bass Pro took over, they no longer have lifetime warranties. They are only waranteed...

    Flat Trigger Shoe for a CZ 457?

    I too would love a flat trigger or shoe. It's the one and only thing that bothers me with my 457. I'm thinking of removing my trigger blade, heating it up and straightening via hammer and anvil. If I do it and it works out, I'll post pics of it and the process. Meanwhile, I'm trying to get...

    Bergara has a new rimfire.

    I honestly can't tell if you're being sincere or sarcastic. I'll assume it's sincere based on previous private convo's with you, as you have always been very professional in our discourse. If I am reading your reply correctly, I'm getting that the pictures of the targets that you posted are...

    Bergara has a new rimfire.

    You're absolutely right about that. Although, I personally wouldn't call it a joy swapping parts around every time I want to shoot a different caliber. We're all unique, as human beings, and therefore find delight in varying things. For instance, I thoroughly enjoy cleaning my 22lr's, while a...

    Bergara has a new rimfire.

    We'll have to agree to disagree I guess. I see it differently. The "barreled action" is just that. No trigger group or stock/chassis. In order to shoot the barreled action a trigger group also needs to be installed as well as a stock or chassis. Whether you already own one or not, the stock...

    Bergara has a new rimfire.

    Betty?! My name ain't Betty, and I fail to see where any of what I posted could be construed as me being offended. I merely stated that there is hope for better groups than what was pictured, and the reasoning behind that hope.

    Bergara has a new rimfire.

    I know the guy that posted these results and talked with him regarding them. The first thing that I would let any potential Bergara buyers and curiosity seekers know is this... - the shooter only had 1 lot of Tenex and a half hour at the range before it got dark. Therefore, no ammo or lot...

    Proof barrel for cz 455/457

    Yep.. I'm curious to see real world results as well. FWIW.. I reviewed my emails with Proof. They mentioned that their test rifle produced 10 shot groups at 50 yds that were ~.5" with Center-X, with some groups smaller than that. I would assume that they would have done some serious lot...

    Proof barrel for cz 455/457

    My pleasure! Just for illustration, if in a controlled environment and everything stayed constant, with my rifle, that lot of R50, and headspaced at .041", I could theoretically shoot close to 3/4" groups at 100 yds. Increase the headspace by just .002" and my groups at 100 yds would grow to...

    Proof barrel for cz 455/457

    MD.. SAAMI spec for 22lr headspace is .043" to .051". With that said, Area 419/Bartlein is within spec. The thing to remember about SAAMI specs is that they are a saftey first spec. As a business, Area 419 has to keep their rear covered, so they are obviously keeping headspace in the...

    Proof barrel for cz 455/457

    Who are you directing this question to? If it was for me, I would have to ask... For a company to ask $650.00 for a barrel, wouldn't it be wise to set the shoulder back an additional .011" while it's chucked up, and then provide a shim pack, rather than end up with less than ideal headspace...

    Proof barrel for cz 455/457

    I had a conversation with Proof regarding headspace of their new drop-in barrel for CZ's. They seem very satisfied with whatever headspace that you end up with as long as it meets SAAMI specs. Based on my 2 457 receivers, I'd end up with headspace of .046" and .047" respectively. These...

    cz457 action

    Unfortunately, the only way to get an action is to but a rifle.. Unless, of course, someone parts out a rifle and sells an action.

    CZ 457

    Is this a new magazine, or did it used to work but now it doesn't? If it's a new magazine and all 9 of the previous rounds eject but not number 10, or 5 if a 5 rnd magazine, I'd suspect that the follower in the magazine is in backwards. If it's not backwards, the spring under the follower may...

    CZ 457

    Oops.. I've been remiss. Rule number one.. Any new rifle post require an accompanying photo. ? She has a nice tan.. I'd call it an espresso finish. I was able to get the trigger down to a very crisp and respectable 1 lb 2 oz pull There's a picture there of the 457 with my son's 455 scout to...
