22LR CZ 457 PRECISION ELR / PRS BUILD FROM MILD TO WILD (PART 1: BASE LINES WITH FACTORY RIFLE)

[@jon1801]

I won't alter my 457 Synthetic, use it for pesting and fun target. It is one of those stock/barrel combinations that the maker got just right. Its LOP, grip, adjustable trigger, all suit me fine. Enjoy your videos though, shows the world what we 22lr fanatics can get from a rifle that does not break the bank.

[@PursuitofAccuracy]

Awesome

[@George-tz1cv]

One thing that rarely gets mentioned, is to always clean the rifle, including the bore, before shooting a new rifle. You may e surprised at what those patches look like.

[@jonwarren7010]

Here from Midwest Long Range. This is exactly the setup im starting with. Had the Athlon scope on my 1000 yd. Centerfire rifle and loved it. Just now getting into rimfire and the CZ457. Thanks for this series!!! Subscribed.

[@CHenry1951]

Josh, on this build, can you list the retail price of the parts and options as you go along, as most are amazed at how they shoot, but don't realize the cost involved........

[@PursuitofAccuracy]

Yeah i will try and remember that going forward

[@scarbourgeoisie]

Having owned a Pro Varmint, I would highly recommend this version of a CZ 457. The only reason I sold mine was that I wanted a Bergara B14R and I was able to recoup my entire purchase of the Pro Varmint due to the fact that I got it new for a really good deal. I've had better luck with the 16.5" version of the 457 and currently own a 16.5" MTR outfitted with an Oryx chassis. But I did enjoy the Pro Varmint while I had it and initially regretted selling it until I purchased my latest 16.5" 457. I look forward to this build sequence.

[@nosteponsnek2238]

So how do you like the B14r?

[@scarbourgeoisie]

@@nosteponsnek2238 If you have the budget for one, I’d highly recommend it. It’s the most accurate .22 I’ve ever owned. The Trigger Tech lightweight trigger I installed to it makes it even nicer to shoot. If I can move one of my other toys, I’m going to get a carbon barrel version to compliment the steel barrel one I already have.

[@wayneschenk5512]

I’ve been shooting this for a year it’s been a great gun.

[@craigstockton3103]

Watching your tests has help me narrow down my choices for my .22 rifle. I am defiantly thinking CZ at this point. Thanks for the time and effort you put into these videos. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@PursuitofAccuracy]

Thanks Craig

[@FishOn1]

CZ 457 PV with Athlon Argos has been my precision rimfire for the last couple of years. Added an ARCA rail to it and a Yo Dave spring, but it is otherwise stock. Been pretty happy with it. Just picked up a B14R as my open class starter rifle. I'll slowly accessorize it over time. Same model Athlon Argos on it and already added the ARCA rail. Trigger is next, then probably a better scope. Looking forward to this series!

I’ve already committed that I’d like to see the MDT ACC chassis and the Ckye-pod. One thing to remember is with the ACC chassis it comes with a full length Arca built in and CKYE-pod comes with the Arca head and cleated feet which makes up for the pricing.

I can attest to the quality of Athlon scopes! I have two Talos 3-12x40, one on my CZ 457 American and one on my Bergara B-14. Good tracking, holds zero, and the optical clarity best I've seen in their price range by a long shot.

[@brandonm6052]

Have a cz457 At-One that should be in this week, hoping the kids can use it and eventually do some silhouette etc locally at izaak walton. I just wish more of these stock started with a shorter LOP like 11". The KRG Bravo for a 10/22 starts at 11". I can't afford to drop as much or more than the rifle for a stock for the kids .22, I may just take the rear butt pad out and gain then a little. Talked to a local rimfire guy at our Scheels store and he's hoping to convince management to get some SK and Ely in as they only have some basic Ely and then CCI.

This should be very interesting. Great idea Josh.

Great video! I just purchased the 457 16" Synthetic heavy barrel Varmint variant, and am now looking at different optics for target and pest shooting up to around 100 yards that won't break the bank. I've found a good deal on a new Bushnell Prime 3-12x40...are there other scopes I should be looking at for this role? Would you recommend mounting this on say an MDT 20MOA pic rail, or are the factory 3/8 dovetails fine to mount the rings directly to? Any advice appreciated. Keep up the great work!

I have the CZ457 MTR. The pillars looks rock solid. I’ve heard of people changing them out to aluminum. Will that affect accuracy by changing them. Also would you recommend bedding the action. I shoot ARA rim fire 50 yard bench rest events with a front rest rear bag. Thanks

[@thefrogking481]

I love the channel as a PT/MTR shooter myself, I look forward to like-minded enthusiasm for the platform. But, I have to ask, at this point, how much of your rifle is still CZ ? Other than weight savings and slight adjustments, what's the real advantage of a chassis? Not discounting those two advantages, but you can already shoot .3 MOA with sorted ammo and your current setup. Go old school brother, give us some iron peep groups. Yes I know how counter productive that sounds.

[@PursuitofAccuracy]

Only the factory action will remain. The benefit of the chassis is being able to increase stability, add a lot of weight and balance the rifle easily. All of that makes it a ton easier to shoot accurately off of props for positional shooting. The factory barrels are great for 100 yards and in but the aftermarket barrels generally produce better results from 200-500 yards

Hey Josh, Hope you are having a great holiday with the family. What would be cool is to try and maximize the performance of the gun with each new upgrade so they can be evaluated separately.

They go off of msrp from the cz website. I torque to 25 in lbs for non pillared, 30 for pillared

[@TheCporteous]

This is most likely a dumb question but I figured I would ask because I cant find the answer anywhere. If I wanted to build a cz 457 for prs and was gonna go as fully custom as possible. Does it matter which 457 model I start with or are all the receivers the same? Hypothetically if I could buy just the bolt/receiver for a 457 would I end up with the same performance as the high end cz 457 once I do all the part swaps?

I just finished a Bergara B-14r build. Bought just the steel barreled action, upgraded only the trigger and then mounted it into a MDT LSS Xl chassis.
