    CZ 457 glass and ring choice? Post pics

    Cz457 -MTR. I'm running a MDT picatinny rail adaptor and a Arken SH4-J scope. Had Arkens 'medium' hight rings, which are 1.26" hight which won't give you any cheek weld, more a 'chin weld' which ain't great. So ordered Arkens 'low' rings which are 0.92", BUT they won't work at all since Arkens...

    Where are all the CZ 457 MTR's ???

    I got mine delivered to my FFL yesterday. Was $790 with a $30 'secured shipping'! Guess we lucked out!

    CZ 457

    What would be a better ammo pick for longer range? If it shoots tight groups at 100, it should be tight further out...

    I did email CZ-Usa and this was the response.

    CZ 457

    Do anyone know specifics about CZ's 'accuracy guarantee' on the MTR? They claim '15 mm groups at a distance of 50 m' But I haven't managed to find any info about what ammunition they use, or if there's any form of return policy if your specific rifle doesn't manage that standard... 🤔

    Where are all the CZ 457 MTR's ???

    I checked it, they had them, the price felt okey, ordered one! Thanks for the help!

    CZ 457

    With 22 LR barrel lenghts over 18 inches or so actually slow the bullet down, you will loose muzzle velocity. But it have shown for many manufacturers and gun smiths that it's beneficial for accuracy, hence why many precision 22's are around 20 - 22 inches. Lots more to it, but that's what I've...

    Where are all the CZ 457 MTR's ???

    I saw GunBroker had them in stock to, for a day or so. I didn't get any notifications from any of (many) the businesses I check that with...

    Where are all the CZ 457 MTR's ???

    Supply and demand. It's 'the coolest' 22 rifle at the moment and CZ isn't keeping up building them, which probably is good that they don't rush it and compromise the quality and reputation they built up. I'm definitely with you on handling and checking out things in person, especially when it's...

    Norma XTREME LR-22 Ammo

    Been awhile... So what was the conclusion? Clover leaves at 500 yards?

    Trying to develop a safe load for my .308, need help

    I agree, just looking at things from a logical standpoint. I've never understood the whole 'ad stuff to a short barrel to make it legal lenght' vs. just leave it, since it will physically be the same length so no gain in mobility, or make it the lenght you want either legally, or not...

    Interesting info on 357 Mag

    I'm not a hunter (yet) but find it ridiculous how people claim X caliber isn't enough/ethical, when it's been proven a ton of times historically. And the wantingness (new word right there!) of using super magnums!

    Trying to develop a safe load for my .308, need help

    I'm definitely not an expert at reloading but three things comes to mind. *Use a powder that will get the velocity you need instead of trying with some that doesn't. *Why 'pin and weld' a shorter barrel to make legal rifle lenght instead of just leaving it? Especially since you're chasing...

    Interesting info on 357 Mag

    It's interesting to see how tough and bulletproof wild game have gotten over the years. Impossible today to hunt with a 357 Magnum apparently! 😉 Have to be 338 Lapua, or to be really sure, 50 BMG!

    Suppressor and baffle orientations affect on POI.

    Interesting. My can, a SWR/SilencerCo Octane 45 (first gen, a.k.a. 'old'!) Can be configured any which way internally since the baffles have no indexing or markings. The latter I'm about to change since it's a bit of a PITA to line them up as-is. And even with the comparative huge exit hole...

    Suppressor and baffle orientations affect on POI.

    Did you get data of relation of shift vs. orientation?

    Suppressor and baffle orientations affect on POI.

    Recently got myself a 22LR rifle to play around with and have been shooting it suppressed mostly but some without the can too. Did some quick ń dirty testing on groupings @ 50 yards, which I also used for scope zero distance, and noticed that the groups without was a bit tighter and a bit...

    Ash street shootout

    It's interesting to me that this story blowing up online all over right now. Because a buddy of mine, and neighbour, was one of the Rangers that was there! And I got to hear some first-hand of it when we where hanging out, bbq'ing, at my house a few weeks ago. Strange timing.

    OG Nesika Bay Model K Info

    Poulsbo is very close to where I live and I didn't know there was (is?) a rifle manufacturer there!
