CZ 455 Has Arrived!

[MosesTheTank]

The CZ 455 Precision trainer has arrived. I intend to do it up as best I can, so please help me out with some suggestions. I have an AAC Element 2 sitting in my dealers safe, which should be in my hands by March, so I need the barrel threaded. A few items I was thinking about were cerakote and having flush cups installed. I'm not sure about which scope/rings to go with but my club has 200yd rim fire matches so it would need to accommodate longer ranges. As for who is doing the work the only recommendation I've received so far is for Hooper Ordnance.

Re: CZ 455 Has Arrived!

Thats a good looking setup, considering purchasing a 455 soon. DIP makes a great 25 MOA rail for the CZ, just about any rings will work, I use TPS aluminum rings on the rimfires because the price is right and keep the weight down. As far as optics, just make sure you get a scope that allows the paralax to be adjusted down low enough due to the caliber. I use a Simmons 6.5-20x50 mil dot, good scope for the money and AO goes down to 30 ft

I have one of those and put a DIP 25 moa rail on it. I threw some NF low rings on it since I had them sitting around. I got this scope for it and I am surprised with how good it is for the money

I have one with a DIP 25 MOA base. My scope has a 30mm tube and a 50mm objective. With Seekins high rings, it just clears the barrel with butler creek covers.

Re: CZ 455 Has Arrived!

Adco can do the barrel threading as well but Hooper can also do the bolt knob job and replace the bottom metal and everything else on your list.

I am building something similar except with a lighter barrel, 455 American with Manners stock... 3 barrels
I have a DIP 25moa extended rail, would have preferred something steel that screwed down to the receiver.
DIP magwell
Acculock medium rings, steel
Vortex Viper PST 4-16x50 EBR-MOA
Modified trigger but been eyeballing the CZ single set trigger.

Re: CZ 455 Has Arrived!

On my 455-PT I have a DIP 25 MOA rail with Burris XTR "low" rings, and my Vortex with a 50.8 Objective clears the barrel with about 1/8 inch.

Re: CZ 455 Has Arrived!

John, very nice set up you have there. Why are you considering a Lilja barrel? Also, did you weigh the EGW base versus the DIP?

Thanks

Hey man thanks.
My 455 shoot good like MOA at 100 3 out of 5 times under the right conditions but I want my rifle to rock so I think sooner or later I will get a lilja barrel just to move it up a notch or two. I like the EWG base because I can remove it without removing the scope and athetically it looked more aggressive than the DIP which I have on my old 452 but really thats it. They both are good bases.

Re: CZ 455 Has Arrived!

I have a question. I can't seem to find an answer anywhere...Wil this stock accommodate the 17HMR magazine? I'd assume it will based on the design of the mag well, but I'd like to know for sure before throwing down the $480.00 for a stock.

Thanks in advance,
C

A 5 round magazine is included.</div></div>
