The CZ457 PRO Varmint is just one of many 457 models CZ is offering in 2020. This 16.5" threaded barrel version is an excellent choice for NRL22 and other PRS types matches. Check out my first shots and impressions.

I too have a 457 pro varmint and sk standard plus is the best bang for my buck. At 50yds it’s just as good as center-x but at 100yds center-x pulls ahead. Great video!

They are very close. Looking at my data the 20" shot a tad tighter but that was not a back to back comparison on the same day in the same conditions.
@RockinRack4 жыл бұрын
@@TheGoatMumbler was thinking the sk standard possibly shot equal to the match out of the 16" because the only difference i could find was the match is lower velocity to prevent the bullet becoming destabilized as it goes from super to subsonic. With the 16" the higher velocity standard may be closer to the velocity of the match ammo out of a 20". Just a theory

I really dont know why they didnt thread the Varmint model or the MTR model. I likely would’ve bought the MTR if they would have threaded it because I wouldve like an 18” or 20” barrel. And because I couldn’t find the Pro Varmint model anywhere when I bought mine about a year ago I went with the AT-ONE model which I very much enjoy. But the dang barrel length options were either 16.5” or 24”!!! I think that 20” would’ve been a nice sweet spot but hey, CZ is a little weird with their models.

I have several CZ's and absolutely love them. I do have a question however, I've been watching several of the .17hmr videos and hardly any one is using Hornady ammo. I bought a 500rd brick to work on my shot placement (unfortunately I vibrate, I always have. I don't have the raw energy I used to, but it's still aggravating trying to get precision shots.) Anyway, why don't you use the Hornady 17GR V-MAX? I know it's a hunting round, but shouldn't it still be in consideration? Thanks, and I like your new rifle....Badass.

Thanks a lot sir for the information, my question is, the reason that you choose CZ 457 is that 457 is the best and most accurate one among all CZ rimfire rifles?? Or there is other reasons?
@TheGoatMumbler3 жыл бұрын
The CZ's have always seemed to be pretty accurate rifles in that price point once you find the ammo it likes. The fit & finish is also superior to others in that range too IMO. They have more models to choose from to suit just about any need which makes a huge difference.

@@badfinger4621 I've learned a lot since this. The most accurate 22lr is selling your 22lr, buying a center fire rifle, and learning to load your own most accurate cartridges. Your other option is to pay over $2,000 to Eley for a minimum bulk order of your lot number 22lr ammo after they test your barrelled action for ~$60. The national champions in NRL22 do this. The ammo matters much more than the rifle with 22lr.

I am taking a lot of guff over getting this rifle instead of the MTR with 20 inch barrel. My main reason was I don't want just a bench rest rifle and plan to hunt with it and possibly use some non match ammo that has better terminal balistic values - did I really f*&k up? Or do you think this rifle will hold its own as multi task?

I have seen other videos on KZbin testing 22 rimfire and barrel length. All of the videos indicated the rim fire ballistics don't gain anything major in accuracy after 16.5 inches. If anything the bullet would slow down due to friction. I know CZ usually are 20 or 24 inch barrels. Maybe some one needs to do a test with out of box CZ with 16.5 vs. a CZ 24 inch barrels and let the results decide.
