Just ordered a CZ 457 VPC. Already have the scope, bolt knob, pic rail, rings and ordered a bipod, extended mag release, cheek piece cushion and new grip for the chassis.
Are there any other must have mods?

Forearm mounted mag holder (think biathlon rifle), data card holder, scope level, zoom lever if you are so inclined.
Shmedium Game changer, ammo, a quality class, and practice, practice, practice.
Did they start making those anchors with a thick rim again? The last box I ordered had a really thin rim compared to older "lots'. Others on Amazon have said the same. The older anchors were the best snap caps I have ever used.
Agreed on the DFAT. Invaluable for working on positional shooting and the fundamentals.
Balance weights as necessary. Level of some sort. Schmedium bag. Either a very good dope chart or ballistic app/kestrel. A good range finder. Good glass with tripod. Good quality ammunition. A shot timer. Small/22 steel targets.
Many of the best things you can do to help your game are not hooked to your rifle.

I picked up a box at Home Depot and they extract fine. Sometimes deal with FTF though. But yes the snap caps I had were pretty much toast after two dry fire sessions.
Ok, school my dumb ass. WTF is a dfat?

www.silencershop.com I'm a big fan of the Luth-AR MBA3 , 3 axis butt pad upgrade. For $50, It adds a much nice nicer ( and larger) butt pad while adding LOP AND making LOP infinitely adjustable between 11 and 15" . I also replaced the buffer tube anti-rattle set screw with a 10-24x 1/2" thumb screw so LOP can be adjusted faster if/when needed. Beyond that, a grip change and a M-loc type Picatinny and/or ARCA rail for the for end ( I used both). Lastly, that tiny bolt knob needs to go!

These are not quite as good as the older production but this brand (Everbuilt, sold by Home depot and Amazon) still work decently. They still load from a mag and still protect your firing pin> They just don't last for as many hits as they used too. The other common brand, Hillman (which used to be the most robust) have completely changed design to nearly eliminate the rim and are now unusable. All that said, I wish I had laid in 3-4 box's of the old Hillmans years ago. Who ever thought I'd burn through 200-300 snap caps ????

Forget what I bought, but it ain't right
I hear there's one that does work, but I forget who again

edited to add: it's not the gear of lack of that's making you (me!) miss. It's the lack of practice building strong positions under time pressure.
Several friends use these without issue:
