    CZ 457

    Oh, that’s nothing. I was at the range shooting unsupressed. Me and the guy next to me look up and the guy a few lanes down just walks down range while everyone is shooting to check his target. Not only that, but the guy is holding a locked and loaded AR pistol which he proceeds to point at...

    Tikka T1X

    I never had a Midas Tac on my T1x. My son used one briefly but we upgraded him to a Tract Toric.

    Help. Should I buy a Cz 457 or Savage mark 2

    Exactly! That has been my observation as well. If there is some other reason for the velocity increase I would like to be educated as to what it is. Maybe Ncbrshooter knows something we don’t. This is getting of topic however. Back to the original question. I’ll repeat my original response. My...

    Help. Should I buy a Cz 457 or Savage mark 2

    All I can tell you is my rifles with a match chamber where the bullet is being pushed into the rifling shoot faster than my rifles that don’t. In general I pick up another 20-30 FPS with the same exact ammo. That has been the case with all my rifles. If the chamber isn’t the reason please...

    I wouldn’t worry to much about ammo testing. My Vudoo shoots just about anything I put in it good enough for practice. In general anything made by Lapua/SK will shoot good enough for positional competition. I don’t even lot test with mine. I just buy a case and shoot. I have yet to get a lot of...

    NRL22/NRLX match gun weight

    My Vudoo and my Tikka both come in right at 18 lbs. I prefer a heavier rifle.

    What Scope for a CZ457 Varmint?

    Depending on your budget I would just pick up a Vortex Diamondback Tactical or Viper PST in 4-16x44 or 3-15x44. The 44mm objective and shorter optic will probably look a lot more proportional to you and 15-16x should be good enough to see your bullet holes at 100 yards.

    Help. Should I buy a Cz 457 or Savage mark 2

    You will get a whole lot of opinions on barrel length. 22lr is going to meet its maximum velocity at around 16”. I have chronographed all my barrels between 16” and 20” and the velocity is more dependent on the chamber than the barrel length. In other words a 16” and a 20” barrel with the same...

    Help. Should I buy a Cz 457 or Savage mark 2

    Get the CZ. I had a Savage MKii. The operative word there being had. I had constant reliability issues with it and finally got fed up and sold it. A CZ457 or the Tikka T1x will be your best bet. If you don’t want to replace the stock, go for the CZ 457 Pro Varmin. It’s a great rifle right out of...

    Tikka T1X

    It took me awhile to find the right optic for my rimfire rifles. I liked the Sig but the FOV was not great and made scanning for targets a lot more difficult than it needed to be. The reticle was not ideal either. It had the standard mil reticle which wasn’t great for holding for wind while...

    Tikka T1X

    Yes, the parallax does go down to 25 yards on the Ares ETR. The issue with mine was it was almost impossible to get all the parallax dialed out of the scope under 100 yards. Doing it at a match on the clock while shooting at something like a KYL rack where a little error can make a huge...

    Tikka T1X

    I think that is a typo on Sigs part. The parallax goes down to 25 yards on mine. That said I no longer have the Sig on my T1X. I’ve switched to 5-25 Viper PST gen 2’s on both my T1x and Vudoo. The Sig is a really nice scope especially for the money. It is just overkill for a rimfire to start so...

    Tikka T1X

    It’s very likely that’s the issue. Get behind your rifle and try moving your head around a little and see how much the crosshairs move.

    Tikka T1X

    A lot of times issues POI shift can be attributed to not getting all the parallax dialed out of your scope and or having an inconsistent cheek weld. I had a Athlon Ares ETR that I had a heck of a time getting parallax free inside 100 yards. Doing positional shooting where I would get behind the...

    Tikka T1X

    Shooting groups is a necessary evil to me and in general the only time I do it is if I’m testing ammo. Now I don’t even test ammo at 50 yds any longer. I set up a target at 200 early in the morning before the wind picks up and test that way. I will shoot 5 groups of 10 and see how the lot...

    No, it’s listed as sold.

    Tikka T1X

    I think the issues are from the shroud not the handle and knob. both the Sterk and AO bolt handles functioned flawlessly.

    Tikka T1X

    Here is my rifle. The barrel is 16 1/2” a Feddersen blank I had a local gunsmith fit and chamber for me. He used a Manson Eley EPS reamer and head spaced it at 0.041”. The stock in the photo is a MPA chassis for a Tikka T3x that modified to work with the T1x. I moved the barreled action back to...

    Tikka T1X

    If You force the stock straight and fill the front of it with epoxy I would guess that will fix it. If It was me I would get some lead shot and fill the front with lead and epoxy
