    CZ 455 pillar bedding questions

    33/64” piloted counterbore, make sure the spacing is correct, and drill it. Be sure to face the pillars off at the proper angle as the guard inletting to prevent aftermarket guards that are solid from bowing. Do it right or don’t do it at all!

    After spending all that money do you wish...

    I have a v-22 in hand, and it suffers from this exact problem just like the 40x (not as bad as some 40x’s though). While this is the first and only action I’ve looked at so far, of course I can’t say they will all be this way. Due to how many projects I have going on (even in my retirement lol)...

    After spending all that money do you wish...

    No matter if an action is rear lock up or mid lock up it can still be competition worthy. The question is why are all custom rimfire benchrest actions rear lock up instead of mid lock up? It really isn’t due to being better but it was done to make it easier to fix a flaw of a 40x and that is to...

    After spending all that money do you wish...

    Both lugs don’t make contact, only the bottom one does at about 80%. I can’t do nothing about it without doing a rebarrel. Don’t like the way the barrel on it slugs but that has nothing to do with the action. The ignition on this action needs work. It’s has a few flaws in that department but I...

    They all have their weaknesses. The Vudoo I still have to pull the barrel to accurately measure headspace as I’m curious to see where it is. For perfection it has areas that need work just like a 54. The biggest issue on a 54 is the feeding and ejection. This particular Vudoo has no feeding...

    After spending all that money do you wish...

    I’ve had em all, worked on em all, and still build on many of them. What it all comes down to is budget, what your gonna do with it, and who builds it! For a competition gun a 455 built is hard to beat. It will never I mean never replicate your centerfire rig or drop into Remington 700 stocks...

    Setting back a CZ455 22lr barrel

    Also if your headspace is at .043”, you are extremely lucky! Most actions with factory Barrels headspace at .046” or greater measuring both the barrel shank length and receiver face to bolt face recess while cocked using a quality depth micrometer.

    Setting back a CZ455 22lr barrel

    If your able to fit a blank to the gun, sell off the factory pipe and call it a day. If you want to experiment there ain’t nothing wrong with that. I’ve tried everything you can imagine with these from custom fit Barrels, many different custom chamber reamers I came up with, custom striker...

    Setting back a CZ455 22lr barrel

    On 455, your not actually setting the entire barrel back. What your doing is setting the shoulder back only in order to tighten the headspace. On older Lilja drop ins this was working out perfectly but it’s kind of annoying spending money on a match barrel and then having to put it in a lathe...

    CZ 455 "Tacticool" or wait for Tikka T1x

    My source tells me the tikkas should be available by September :(. I’m hoping it’s much sooner than that but it doesn’t look promising :(. The main advantages I see with the tikka currently is that there are many after market parts for the T3 such as triggers and stocks that work on the T1x...

    Annie 64 price?

    It all depends on how old it is. A newer style 1416 64 id buy 100 at that price, the older 64’s not my cup of tea.

    Setting up a Lh 452 as a tactical comp rifle

    I still build but only for those who compete in prs and nrl22. Much better than doing 20 builds at a time lol

    Setting up a Lh 452 as a tactical comp rifle

    Like magic the bedding is complete :). Stock is painted including the bedding edges. Gotta wait for the left hand scope rail now :(.

    Setting up a Lh 452 as a tactical comp rifle

    For the left hand shooters, they aren’t blessed with all the choices us right hand shooters have. While a fully built 455 is within reach for the lefties, they cant get one in left hand. Not all want to sink the cash in building a left hand Annie but the 452 LH is a cost effective alternative...

    Slow first shots with Center-X?

    How does the gun shoot? How are you cleaning the barrel? Any access to a borescope by chance?

    Garrow development 17hmr

    Other then the ammo being inconsistent, it’s a pretty bad ass round! It is possible to find a good lot of ammo but it’s not like it’s readily available to purchase that way like match 22 lr ammo is. For the most part the ammo is loaded good enough to achieve 1/2”-1” on average at 50 yards. It’s...

    Garrow development 17hmr

    Even the greatest built bolt guns are at the mercy of the ammo consistency with the magnum calibers. 6-8 ish years ago you went through a couple lots and could find some great ammo that was lights out. Now it’s a bit frustrating seeing velocity spreads of 150+ FPS from shot to shot! I love my...

    Strongest .22lr bolt action

    While a 452 has 2 lugs, they are smaller in size compared to the single lug of the 455. The 2 lugs on a 452 rarely make full contact. They need to be lapped in order to get that which should only be done when rebarreling. Only way to really find out this one is to see at what pressure each...

    Strongest .22lr bolt action

    Stiller trident single shot, stiller 2500xr, and turbo. All are 6 o’clock firing pin setups with rear lock up vs the center lugs on a 40x.

    Area 419 pic rail for CZ 455 or is there another?

    The best setup is the Murphy’s with the receiver drilled and tapped though a weee bit overkill lol.
