CZ457 Long Range Precision (LRP) part 2

[@scarbourgeoisie]

These are great bench rifles. I'm on my second one. I sold my first one to get a Bergara B14R and I still have it, but I missed my LRP so I picked up another one. The LRP is a better 100 shooter and the B14R is just a bit tighter at 50yds. I wish I had this new darker stock - just love it. The only down side, CZ's new found popularity in the 22 world has driven up their prices.

Glad you said that! I was toying with the idea of Bergera when I was looking at .22 rifles and went for the CZ. Looking for long range accuracy and I’ve been pretty impressed by the groups I’m getting from subsonic ammo (the HV stuff works ok but isn’t quite as tight)

[@scarbourgeoisie]

@@JonCresswellUk I'll give you some cool tips that I've used on all my CZ's. 1. Replace the trigger spring with a cut down spring from a BIC lighter (the flint spring - not the red button). It will bring your trigger pull weight down next to nothing, which will improve your accuracy. And while you have the trigger out, polish the top, which mates to the sear, to a mirror finish. 2. The CZ bolt is kind of crunchy because of the laser cut serial number on the bottom. I use a green scotch pad on a die grinder to polish down the rough edges and then use my 8" buffer pad and some red polishing compound to polish the bottom side of the bolt. Do this and it will be smooth as glass when you cycle it.

[@JonCresswellUk]

@@scarbourgeoisie I know what you mean about the serial number, so I may give that a go 😊. I’m not sure I’m confident enough to fiddle with the trigger yet, but I may adjust the grab screws a bit to make it a bit lighter - it’s still on factory setting, but I do favour a slightly heavy trigger so I don’t accidentally pull the trigger if I’m using gloves.

brilliant review

[@JonCresswellUk]

Thanks so much 🙏 I’m happy you liked it

Interesting how each person has their own cleaning routine for .22lr I only shoot lead projectiles, pull a boresnake through 3 times between different types of ammo I clean the chamber with a nylon brush and clean the bolt before every match or session to try and avoid any ejection issues. The above has always served me well

[@JonCresswellUk]

Yes, lots of variations on how people clean them. Do you use any cleaning fluids on your boresnake? Only asking as I used to use a similar method, and use oil, to clean my barrels but when I tried the rimfire blend and patches it was surprising how dirty my barrel was 😳. Some people never clean them, so there’s definitely a balance.

[@plinkspot8750]

@@JonCresswellUk just a cheap local product that cleans and lubes same time. For the chamber and bolt I use a locally made rimfire carbon cleaner similar to the Boretech product but more affordable

[@JonCresswellUk]

There are lots on the market and everyone has their favourite go to cleaner 👍👍 At least you’re keeping it clean and maintaining your rifle 🤙 it’s the best way to make sure that it’s serviceable should you need it.

If you unscrew the moderator half way out and then press the unscrewed end on something, it will push the other end out. Excellent moderators.

Ah ha! Thanks for the tip

Great video! Liked and subscribed ;) Could you tell me what rings you’re using for this strike eagle?

34mm Dolphin Gun company high mounts

How did you manage to get the Rome rifle chassis as they won't post to the UK and no UK distributors currently ?

[@JonCresswellUk]

PBS international are the UK distributor.

Great Vid John 👍👍💪 my LRP is in process , could you let me know the make of the sound mod cover please 🙏 Thank You and great work 👍👍🇬🇧

[@JonCresswellUk]

You’ll love the LRP it’s a great rifle. The mod cover is the “HTP suppressor cover” from ColeTac. If you go on the Jackal Firearms website and use “muskrat15” you’ll get 15% discount 🤙

[@JonCresswellUk]

I look forward to hearing about your big plans later on! The 455 is a decent rifle too

[@genos3933]

do you have any issues with the 36" cleaning rod handle clashing with the top of the stock? do you need to twist or bend the rod to clear the handle of the stock?

[@JonCresswellUk]

There is a small grub screw for the comb height adjustment that I can loosen and remove the cheek pad. No I don’t twist or bend the rod.

[@genos3933]

@@JonCresswellUk thanks mate. been trying to find a 40inch rod, but seems the 36 works. thank you for the feedback

@genos3933 great 👍 glad it works

What did you think of the chassis?

[@langleyj8199]

@@JonCresswellUk I like it. Local store has this one and also one with MDT chassis. I plan to go see in person.

[@langleyj8199]

@@JonCresswellUk plan to buy one or maybe the other. Your videos gave me a good over.

[@JonCresswellUk]

The CZ LRP is a lovely rifle, I was out in the range today with mine 😎 The one that comes in the MDT chassis is nice 👌 good to go straight out of the box

[@langleyj8199]

@@JonCresswellUk I was going to do a project 22 lr but out of box is cost effective. And seems LRP and MDT stock are both excellent options.

[@jgs3647]

nice review, one question do you have any issues with the ten round mags misfeeding last round. i have the same rifle and the 5 mags run fine, but the ten has issues with last round loading.

[@JonCresswellUk]

No issues with my 10 round mags 👍

[@plinkspot8750]

I gave the large spring a bit of a stretch and haven't had the problem again. Be careful when taking the magazine apart so that you don't lose the tiny spring and pin keeping it together

[@jgs3647]

@@plinkspot8750 thanks for reply. i will give that a go ,although a new mag it may well be a dodgey one

[@JonCresswellUk]

Yes, if you don’t have any luck with the spring, I’d see if you can swap the mag at the shot you got it from 👍👍

[@plinkspot8750]

@@jgs3647 many guys have the same complaint regarding the mags. Although mine hasn't failed again I still carry a spare mag on my stock with the Short Actian Precision match saver. This comes handy in matches

[@alexeylizenko1811]

Great review and explanations, but noice between “episodes” is very loud and annoying

[@JonCresswellUk]

Thanks for the feedback! That’s the first time someone’s told me, so I’ll change it up and reduce the volume in future 👍. Sorry about that.
