PRECISION RIMFIRE: CZ 457 VS VUDOO V22 (APPLES TO ORANGES COMPARISON)

[@lewisrice3741]

I have three cz457 one in an at-one stock and one in a manners and one in wood stock from the co. All these are competition chamber and barrel some times I don't know which one to take to the range so I will take two. Now I'm not kidding I love these rifles. Good video Josh Beagleman

[@PursuitofAccuracy]

You got to take at least two 22lr's to the range

[@arildersvik6137]

The Tikka T1X is also a trainer which uses the same stock as the center fire T3 same trigger will fit any stock that the T3 same accessories etc….

[@ShooterB1]

This was a fun video. Great info. Great shooting and I like watching the real life set up. The real misses. Real life, no supper editing of misses. Just true down to earth, real life stuff. Thank you Josh. You seem like a really good person. I hope you grow this channel beyond your wildest dreams. God Bless

My wife has a CZ in a 20 inch standard weight barrel and that thing shoots so good!!! She shot a 1 inch steel Target 10 times in a row at 100 yards. She has a KRG Bravo stock so we put in aCZ Mag Filler for KRG Bravo Stock from Anarchy outdoors and it really makes the seating of the mag much easier.

Great video josh . The vudoo is excellent and it’s what your saying it is . A trainer for centerfire . But they do seam to be more of a 300-400 -500 yard rifle . I love mine . Your cz is a extremely accurate rifle . Plus it’s the shooter behind it that we can’t overlook also . I think both rifles have there place and you are correct in saying you can do everything with the cz that you can with the vudoo and at a extremely lower price point . Thanks for the vid brother you are becoming a go to video reference when people are looking for certain answers.

My stock 457 MTR barrel is no slouch. I didn't really see much improvement when I went to a Lilja and now back to my stock barrel. Keep up the great videos.

[@PursuitofAccuracy]

Yeah its not the answer for everyone. The lilja allows you to set headspace and is hand lapped. You might have had a stock barrel that was super good. Either way sounds like you have a great shooter

[@lastboyscout2950]

@@PursuitofAccuracy I also had the Lilja threaded and I wonder if that wasn't a mistake. I may have it recrowned and see how it does.

[@russfoust8718]

bought my CZ just like yours(minus barrel/trigger) and love the damn thing, ordered a Vudoo some time ago, still waiting for it and almost don't want to shoot it because the CZ is literally everything I want in an accurate rimfire rifle..... I could have three of them fully set up for what I'll have in the Vudoo once it finally arrives.

[@PursuitofAccuracy]

The vudoos are very nice but the cz is extremely hard to best for the money

[@SixOFord]

My only reason, and I mean my only reason for buying a vudoo was I wanted a full scale 22 rifle. Because everybody shpuld have at least one 14lb 22 lol. Otherwise I'd be shooting a cz. I dont mind the mags, I have relatively little trouble with mine. Usually only if I seat a mag on a closed bolt. Like all 22's they're only as good as their ammo.

I'm in the process of building a 457 action. I looked at all options of barrells, stocks and chassis. I'm building a very accurate squirrel rifle. I chose the cz mtr 20" nitride barrell. Mdt xrc chassis, kelbelys alumnium rings, and a z5 swarovski 3.5x18x44 scope. I will do some target grouping for fun. I got the factory trigger at 1lb. I polished action and bolt so smooth and this action is so nice compared to my 455 cz. Will try rws 38 grain hollow points. I've had great success with these bullets in my anschutz, ruger american target, and other cz my buddy owns, a 453 two stage trigger and a 457 sporter like mine, which is the one I'm using for this build. Received barrell, scope and rings and waiting for chassis. Got to use hollow points and it's hard to get good ammo in hollow point. Thanks for your sharing.

[@markthibault8579]

Great comparision. The biggest thing for me is reliability which the CZ just seems to have nailed down vs the 700-footprint stuff which seems to be a lot more fussy when it comes to feeding, mag tuning, etc. So, that CZ is just the business.

[@PursuitofAccuracy]

The CZ is reliable as the day is long. I think the Bergara offers the least fussy 700SA footprint rifle on the market but more of that to come soon

There are a lot of this vs or comparative reviews but i only appreciate yours and two other Channel’s take on stuff. There are others i watch just for entertainment but i always take what they say with a grain of salt. 👍🏼 If i had the money I’d get both but i like the cz more due to personal preference. Would probably use it everyday in my hunting and Shooting venture. If im going to shoot in a competition though ID most likely use the Vudoo or a Custom Annie. Occasionally though i would use the least easy to use Gun with a heavy trigger unbalnced and flimsy plastic stock although with premium optics. Just so that i would have to be forced to revert and pay attention tothe basics for it to shoot good so when i want to shoot serious target everything seems easier after. 😁

I would have liked to seen a scope cam with the Vudoo as well. with out the scope cam images you cant tell where the shot was released at. I own a lot of target rimfire rifle and some of my CZ will equal My Vudoo at or under 200 yards /meter but beyond that the Vudoo starts to out shine others. I can consistently hit at 400 with the Vudoo and I cant get any of my CZ to reach that with the same accuracy. It should always be noted lot matching and doing your / my part is a must for any rimfire regardless of the brand rifle.

[@PursuitofAccuracy]

The cz has no issue ringing steel at 400 and 500. Vudoo im sure will be more consistent at those distances

[@BillyBob-il8ot]

Have you ever tested a Zephyr II? I was able to pickup one from Reeds for $750.00, I like hunting rifle styles and the light weight because I do hunt and I am older. Via a bag rest with Fiocchi 320 (1st place), Eley Match and Lapua Center X under .400 is frequent at 50 yards, best was .228. Even CCI Velocitors without excess wax/lube (rub it of) was sub moa. So far I put 14 different types of ammo through it, CCI fails to eject too often, I noticed all match rounds that are greasy have no issue and also shot the best. The bolt action is rigged/stiff (it's no Bergara, I have 2ea 22-250 HMR & SP 6.5 CR), and the bolt handle is a small flat spoon, odd but ok. It took time to get it down, but holy smokes a hunting rifle that shoots better or equal to most precision setups. Trigger is fixed at 2lbs clean break 1/8th inch take up (acts like 2 stage), hunter stock, (my prefered hunter scope zeroed at 75 yds for subs 1070fps, bulls eye at 100 with HV Eley, hold overs for everything else from 100-25) Athlon BTR 4-14X44 (place one of my Arkens on it < plus weight, I know smaller groups) and it loves all match ammo (all) tested to include to my surprise, plinking Sellier Bellot Club ($4.50 a box) and Eley Club ($8-10 a box), which SB will be the plinking ammo for it. The barrel never got hot, luke warm, it was 68 F. Besides it is a beautiful light rifle, if your patient at a great price. I have 2 Model 60s (retired show pieces :)), Savage Mark II TRR SR (bench LR) and had a Minimalist (hunting < daughter will have it by Xmas). I enjoy your no BS assessments unlike others pimping CCI, there is also hunting precision in my opinion, 1st 3 shots cold bore is my standard. Good luck with the channel, my buddy and I reference you all the time, your are the reason he has the 457 at one and the MTR in an at one chassis, with Arken SH G 2 6-24X50:) Yes, he is now jealous, I was but not anymore!

[@Mrtwich819]

Great video as always. Not sure the weight argument is valid though, plenty of 457’s on the line at our club that come in between 17-20lbs

[@PursuitofAccuracy]

True, it was more a reference to the barreled actions in similar stocks. You can put a cz in a chassis and add a ton of weight. Still be lighter than a vudoo in a similar setup. Appreciate the comment

Hey Josh Awesome video as always Mate a great and fair comparison of the two rifles , I like the full size aspect of the Vudoo but if I was thinking of buying one I would be put off by videos I have seen the issues they have from new with failure to chamber and extract , I believe there is a bolt modification for the extract - eject problem but how permanent is that what is going to happen in time after the rifle has had the amount of rounds through it that your famous CZ has , paying $1800 US for any .22 caliber rifle I would expect it to be perfect out of the box and have confidence that I’m not going to issue in the future , on the other the CZ has everything I would want in a rifle , Great price , extremely accurate and a proven track record with no issues , I could be a little bias being a CZ owner but there is more to consider when purchasing a firearm than accuracy at 300 yards , just my opinion please don’t Lynch me , Aussie Steve .

As the result of exceptional business last year was able to have Apache Machine in Wilkesboro build me a Vudoo Gen 2 with Krieger cut barrel and McMillan stock. Took delivery in late Aug.

The setup is currently housed in a MDT XRS stock. Lovely set up - HOWEVER! One thing I didn’t fully understand about the rifle before I purchased it was the MATCH chamber. I assumed the match chamber would make it more accurate across the board with different types of ammo. The opposite is true! It is significantly more fussy! This means that I am challenged to find a small game subsonic hollow point round that I am happy with. And this is primarily a small game rifle with some competition as a second focus. The CCI Subsonic rounds that other CZ love and is considered one of the most accurate small game rounds barely shoots and is incredibly inconsistent. Rifle loves SK and Eley. Any thoughts? BTW your channel is great. Long time follower now.

MY PERSONAL THOUGHTS ON THAT, FIND YOURSELF A LESS USED CZ VARMINT BARREL FOR IT, PROBLEM SLOVED.

[@thegriff9425]

@@Plainsimple67 I’m assuming that it’s the tighter tolerance headspace in the chamber that is giving me issues with some ammo. Does a varmint barrel headspace differently? I’ll have to go back and watch the IBI barrel comparison.

[@Plainsimple67]

@@thegriff9425 I'm actually kind of surprise your rifle does that, Because most mad chamber guns are inherently more accurate because their barrels are more polished and uniform comp is the uniform compared to the standard production barrels.

[@thegriff9425]

@@Plainsimple67 the rifle is ridiculously fussy. As far as I can tell, the only difference (aside from the stock) between a 457 varmint and a 457 MTR is the chamber, barrel is the same. Ammo is hard to come by where I live and it can’t be sent via post. I’m going to pick up some eley subsonic hollow point soon and will give that a go.

@@thegriff9425 yes, try whatever you can get your hands on Easley, you never know, the one you thought is the worst ammo, can turn out to be a hidden Gem for your rifle.🤷‍♂️

Josh, I am building a vudoo gun. What manners stock would you recommend? I like the prs-tcs but I am worried it may be too heavy. I also like the mcs-prs-1 because it looks like it is half the weight. It doesn’t have a thumb shelf and I don’t know if that’s a big deal or not. I don’t know what weight I need that is best. I know you deal with this all the time. Please just let me know what you recommend and I will go with your recommendation. Thank you in advance.

[@PursuitofAccuracy]

What are you building it for? If prs id skip the manners and go chassis

[@BobbyFowlerJr]

Josh I am very new to shooting 22lr. I would like to do a prs tournament but not many in my area. I live in Sugar Land Texas. I watched your video on apples to oranges and would love to have a gun to shoot like that from 50 to 200 yards. I just thought the vudoo would be the way to go. I am going to shoot at my local gun club and maybe try to find some prs tournaments to start shooting in. I think I would like it lighter because a 20 pound gun seems like I would be limited to only prs. I would like to have one that I could shoot the kyl like you do at 100 yards but still be able to do other things with it. I also like the cz but the vudoo comes with everything I need. Thanks for your thoughts and recommendations.

[@roperboy87]

Hey Josh do you see more consistency out of the lilja barrel on the cz?

[@PursuitofAccuracy]

Yes

My wife and I are photographers. I was interested in the camera settings stuff.

[@PursuitofAccuracy]

Awesome. Im still learning and pretty sure i suck lol

[@JeffandLeslie]

@@PursuitofAccuracy not at all. I like your videos. I'm mostly a stills photographer and I do pretty much suck at video.

[@terrykleypas50]

Josh, concerning your Manners stock on the CZ457, is the receiver the only part contacting the 'bed' or is part of the barrel 'bedded' ? Thanks in advance

[@PursuitofAccuracy]

Just the receiver. The manners has a pad for the barrel but i removed it

A lot of the voodoo shooters bailed out and went with the remex and after buying more than one

Hey Josh do you think that Cz stock makes more accurate than any cz457 stock?

[@OrangesmokeM7]

Cz is the wife Vudoo is the extra girlfriend 🤣👍

[@PursuitofAccuracy]

LMFAO

[@theunforgivenpuritan4102]

I know it is not your forte...but let see you shoot some iron sights!! Mix it up and let people see how much accuracy a scope provides...irons at 25, 50 and 100 on the KYL

[@PursuitofAccuracy]

I actually just picked up an iron sight rifle for a buddy........it's not the fanciest rifle though

How heavy is too heavy for a position gun? My rig is 14 almost 15 lbs by the time I get it balanced how I want. I don't compete though so it kinda doesn't matter. I just wanted a fun gun.

My comp gun is near 20lbs

[@randomidiot8142]

@@PursuitofAccuracy where do you like it to balance? Just in front of the magazine? More muzzle heavy?

[@Jeff-mv4yy]

@@PursuitofAccuracy No biggie Josh. I was just wondering if you were able to get the CZ near 10 lbs. I for some reason find 10 lbs to be very nice for my bench shooting.
