    Eliminating forend flex in the tacticool.

    Got some time so I got the epoxy in. I didn't dye it black as I like the look of the bracing :). It took exactly 2.55 oz of epoxy to fill the area in perfect. Total weight added is just 3.5 oz.

    Anschutz 64 ejection problem fixed

    Mental note to self, if spending $1k or more on a factory rifle get a cooper lol.

    Anschutz 64 ejection problem fixed

    This is one reason which has held me back from getting an Annie. If you choose not to fix it who handles the Annie warranty here in the US?

    Eliminating forend flex in the tacticool.

    Once it's finished I will def weigh the stock but my guess would be around 4 ounces added give or take. I can't give an exact number on how much the area holds as I just mixed up a bunch and had a lot left over and wasted. I'll pay close attention this time around as I'll be doing a few over the...

    .17 HMR round not fitting real snug in a Lilja barrel

    As justin has already stated going with to tight or short of a chamber in the hmr will result in ruptured cases or worse from over pressure. The smallest you can go I believe is .004" smaller than a factory chamber which is what I believe lilja has done. Justin, I don't have a factory barrel on...

    .17 HMR round not fitting real snug in a Lilja barrel

    You probably saw a pic of a 22 LR lilja with the round not all the way in the chamber. The reason for not going tighter on the hmr is due to case ruptures. If a slam fire was a problem from going too tight, see how tight it is to push a 22 LR round into an eps match chamber! Never had one go off...

    Eliminating forend flex in the tacticool.

    There are good amount of stocks available for the 455 now. Boyds offers 3 different ones, Richard microfit offers one based on like 12+ styles, Manners offers one, and I believe McMillan does as well. The boyds stock are great for the money but are not perfect. Better than the factory American...

    .17 HMR round not fitting real snug in a Lilja barrel

    That's pretty much as tight of a chamber you want on the hmr. If you go tighter ruptured cases will happen.

    New Member, CZ Tacticool build

    When I do 455's with a tacticool stock I just get an American synthetic and sell the barrel and stock. You can easily get $100-$150 back putting the cost of the action and such at $210-$260. Go to boyds and for about $100 ish you have a tacticool stock. Then you can get your lilja and go from...

    CZ 455 Ultimate Tacticool 17 HMR Range Test! Pics!

    I'll be mostly target shooting at 50-100 yards but wanna find a good choice for yotes which I would imagine would be the xtp 20gr. I had 3 savage 93 17 hmr's in the past and all but 1 preferred the hornady vmax in 17gr offerings. All 3 though shot the 20gr the best. I'll have to grab some of the...

    Justin have you tried the xtp or game point 20gr in yours yet? If so how did they do?

    CZ 455 Ultimate Tacticool 17 HMR Range Test! Pics!

    Those long star lines only appear mostly when firing jacketed bullets and are in line with the groves of the bore. In 22 LR the pattern will still show just the lines won't be as long. Those lines are the exact same length and the exact same color which means the crown is perfectly cut. You may...

    CZ 455 Ultimate Tacticool 17 HMR Range Test! Pics!

    Got a chance to take the 455 Ultimate Tacticool out for a spin today. It was far from an ideal day to shoot but I went anyway as the suspense was eating me alive lol. Temps where in the upper 40's to low 50's with very light rain and winds SSW @ 19 mph. Targets are facing north so wind was...

    CZ 455 Ultimate Tacticool build has begun!! (Pic Heavy!)

    Guards should be on the way to me by the end of next week (4/4/14 that's a lot of 4 no? Lol) so I should have I'd say by 4/11 or sooner. I put the Ultimate tacticool 17 HMR with its brother the Ultimate thumbhole 22 LR for a family pic :) As much as I love the thumbhole stock I may sell it so...

    New CZ rimfire stick

    If your test before pillar bedding was in much better conditions and you still managed to shoot better in poor conditions, I think your gonna be in for a treat. Wind can greatly affect a rimfire even at short distances! You have another testing session ahead of you when conditions are better.

    64 mpr!

    The DIP rail does nothing for me either :(. The best rail I ever used for the 455 is by far the Murphy precision. Not cheap but it is second to none!

    Best el-cheapo build starter

    The barrels on the savage are pressed and pinned. A rebarrel using a match grade barrel like a lilja, shilen, bartlien ect would run around $500-$700 with labor. The action on them isn't worth investing in a barrel like that and the way the inlet is on the stock again not worth it! I'd save up a...

    CZ 455 Ultimate Tacticool build has begun!! (Pic Heavy!)

    The custom firing pin and trigger springs should be here this week so I'll be able to complete the bolt! Just waiting for the custom trigger guards to be done so I can finish this thing and shoot it already! They should get anodized sometime this week so shouldn't be much longer!
