Mail Call Mondays Season 8 #23 - Tikka T1x at the June NRL22 Match

[@benjaminwilborn6123]

CZ 457 in base class. Really interested in this rifle.

[@johngalt4769]

Sako quad! Or Sako p94s Range it's the lazer of factory 22LR . It's a 3 position rifle. Love to see what you think of it and how it will do the job without upgrading it. With Clase and comfort!

[@t8500shx]

Thanks for the Tikka review 👍🏼 I would like to see a review of the Ruger RPR and Hear your honest review. I’ve read good & Bad reviews. I have several Ruger Rimfire 22’s and thought about the RPR, but the bad reviews keep swaying me away from it.

[@John-uo1qf]

Good video. The Tikka T1 does benefit by added weight. I noticed that the first time out with mine. It is a very accurate rifle and has an excellent factory trigger, although mine will only adjust to about 1.5 lbs because the screw hits another screw which limits travel. It does need a check riser - the Victory Company looks like a great solution. I do not think NRL22 prohibits a non factory bolt in base class. Another beef is that the bolt won’t hold open on the last round. If you are not counting rounds it’s easy to close the bolt with no round in the chamber and pull the trigger - not good on a rimfire.

[@Tantrum791]

I want to see the cz 457. I'd like to pick up the varmint model and would like to see some more on that rifle. Thanks!

[@GorhamWorks]

I’d like to see the cz on deck. Have a 455 and wonder how the improvements to the 457 platform function in the wild. Love the show.

[@glennjames1756]

Like to see the difference the chassis makes with the Tikka first. Im interested in all the 22 LR stuff you mentioned as well. Great stuff

[@thomasobrien127]

Shoot the T1X in open and the new CZ457 in base class

[@nickbarriga9092]

Does the Victor Company Cheek Rest cause any issues with bolt removal and/or inserting a bore guide for cleaning? Weighing up between the Victor Company and the KALIXTEKNIK CR1. Considerable difference in cost between the two and whilst both look nice I prefer the clean look of the Victor Company if it is not going to cause any clearance issues. I also notice that the install instructions for the Victor Company call for 1.25" back from the front of the stock but yours look like it is installed a bit further back. Assume that is a personal fit choice?

[@TheGoatMumbler]

I have a Ruger RPR in 6.5 Creedmoor as my first precision rifle and it's awesome. I made my first 500yd hit with it on 12" plate on the first attempt. But after reading some reviews I held back on the RPR in 22LR and I'm leaning towards the CZ457. Of course you're looking at $399 vs $575 (more for the 457 AT-ONE version) so the CZ "SHOULD" be better. Right? :)

[@danielsullivan5287]

457 and I’d love a comparison from the 457 to the Ruger. There are some comparison videos out there but I really appreciate both the quality of your videos and the experience and thought you put in.

[@poulo69]

I have a Tikka T1x that I am doing the same thing as you but I’ll be dropping it into PSE Composits stock that I have my centre fire competition rifle in. So for me I’d like to see more from the T1x please

[@kenjackson4177]

I also would like to see the 457, but I love that new big verticals grip wood stock they offer. The vudoo in open class would be great. Thanks again for another great video

[@TheGoatMumbler]

Can't find those Grovtec female swivels on their website.

[@snteevveetns]

I’m sad more companies don’t offer more left handed actions

[@BrascoMT]

Waiting for the cz review before I purchase one. I hope it was delivered today!!

[@ScottPriestley]

I'd love to see the CZ457 get a good run. That's my #1 suspect for later in the season.

[@garykondek5231]

Looking forward to your opinion on the cz and your continued adventures with the tikka. Would also like your thoughts on them out to 300yds.

[@pauld4010]

Looking forward to seeing the CZ 457

[@jamesdonaldson-webster6079]

I would like to see the T1X in open.

[@colemanderscheid957]

Awesome video as always. Hands down the most informative, factual, knowledge based reviews out there. Would like to hear your thoughts on the 457. I just picked up a 457 Pro Varmint SR and loving it. Interested in your opinion versus the T1X.

[@joeogden5977]

Cz 457 pro varmint, picked mine up and i have confidence that it is a 500 score rifle, if the shooter can do their part

[@jameslundy6815]

I just wanted to ask what you thought about the plastic barrel support, I’m not seeing a purpose. Did you try your tikka without it? Thanks for the review

[@brodyhetland]

What happened to the CZ 457 Varmint review?

[@Steve-dx5jq]

Good info. Did you run the gun with the spacer in the stock ? I tried it both ways and now it's out of the stock for good. Getting better accuracy with the barrel completely free floated. Also what ammo did you choose for it ? Also Thinking CZ .......

[@8541tactical]

Free-floated and Norma Match 22.

[@RichardCasto]

Would like to see the CZ 457 in base class.

[@johnmal801]

Well, which one should I get... Tikka T1X or CZ457? Thanks

[@austinpribulsky5607]

Any plans on doing a review on any defiance machine actions? I would love to see one before I have the chance to buy one because I trust your review

[@8541tactical]

I have put in a request with no reply.

[@austinpribulsky5607]

8541 Tactical awwww dang. I hope they agree to it. I’ve tried emailing them questions but they don’t answer very well on email but the Instagram works better for answers

[@No1UKnowOf]

Happy Anniversary John and wife. My wife and I's anniversary is today.

[@8541tactical]

Happy Anniversary!

[@byn1975]

Do you plan to have a CZ 457? Really interested in a comparison.

[@darrellryan2337]

Want to know more about the cz 457

[@rdarda2225]

Can you try the Savage MKII TRR-SR?

[@haroldlee4037]

I’d like to see a review of the rprr.

[@gunguyryan7663]

Thanks for the review. I would like you to shoot the 457 in the next match

[@ryridesmotox]

CZ for sure.

[@martingagnon4547]

CZ for me as well!

[@rolandtimario2362]

Tx1 in open class!

[@hawkzy1987]

What ammo do you use in a 22? Bottom of the barrel, match or somewhere in between?

[@8541tactical]

I do some quick testing to see what the rifle likes and usually use the best, least expensive option or the option I have the most on hand. Right now I have a lot of Norma Match 22. So if the rifle shoots it well, I use that.

[@hogetyler2812]

457 vs T1X - I am using the T1X - What ammo were you using in Base Class?

[@8541tactical]

Norma Match 22

[@Rmarree89]

John, are you allowed to use a full sized game changer in nrl22? I was under the assumption it was to large

[@8541tactical]

Our local MD has allowed them. I haven't done the volume calculation to see if it strictly complies with the rules for nationals.

[@brigwilt]

CZ in base

[@narsus73]

Hey John, at what age did you get your boys into shooting? I'm trying to figure out when to bring my daughter out for the first time. She's five now almost six, I was thinking when she hits 10 years old. Thoughts? Thanks.

[@8541tactical]

I generally recommend getting them introduced to it as soon as they are physically able to handle the rifle. I introduced mine to gun safety VERY young.

[@justincarnecchia8637]

Been a while since this video posted so not sure if you’ll see this post. I’m very curious to see a direct comparison between the Tikka and C-Z. Both stock and how they can be modified. Seems like both have chassis systems available. Maybe triggers, barrels? Interested in a rifle that can grow with me and my son over the next few years.

[@8541tactical]

Thanks for the suggestion. I will see what I can do. The Tikka is far from stock and the CZ457 is bone stock, but I am interested to see what we can do with it.

[@stevew1851]

WOW, a gun guy who is still married. Kudos to you.........lol

[@Talex-jb8bp]

Do they allow 17 HMR in NRL 22

[@8541tactical]

No. 22LR only.

[@Talex-jb8bp]

8541 Tactical Thank you

[@Longshothawk]

Here's another vote for the cz.

[@TheAntsgood]

CZ457

[@grasunmajjurach6026]

Verygood i from THAILAND พัทลุง

[@marklent1348]

CZ

[@jasonlopez8011]

What 🤯 go big or go home Voodoo V22

[@jasonphillips5817]

18

[@calanbaker1968]

The rifle is STABLE! It cannot move.....you move! The bolt makes positive contact and does not double feed if you move it forward.......and these issues caused you to lose points? Fundamentals, go get a single shot, piece of crap, rifle used on a Boy Scout range. Until you can drill the 10 ring at 50 ft, you should not be allowed to touch any other rifle. BTW, I enjoy the channel.

[@RumblestripDotNet]

CZ for sure.
