PRECISION RIMFIRE HEADS UP MATCH; CZ 457 VPT MTR versus TIKKA T1X versus VUDOO V22

[@terrykleypas50]

Great shooting Josh. Making all of us CZ owners proud. Yours is by far the best 22LR channel on KZbin. Ready to order a shirt !!

[@PursuitofAccuracy]

Thanks Terry. Appreciate ya

[@Jeff-mv4yy]

Thanks for adding the Tikka. I'm looking forward to the review on it. I also appreciate the insert of the teaching segment about the wind.

Thanks jeff. Got a whole series coming up for precision rimfire shooting techniques etc

@@PursuitofAccuracy Josh , if you fan figure a way to get the T1X trigger down to about 6 oz, please let me know . I got a feeling once your buddy gets everything dialed in , that gun will be a tack driver .

Hey Bud, that looked like great fun. Hope you have more of these.

[@PursuitofAccuracy]

Haha thanks Jim

[@jimmccaffery410]

Hey, this is off the topic of this video, but I wanted to tell about an experiment I’m conducting. I have 10k rounds of Wolf Match Extra from the same lot. I pulled my barrel out and removed the shims. Placed the barrel back in the action. I loaded a spent cartridge from my lot. I took a feeler gauge and measured the gap between the action and the shoulder on the barrel, I replaced the shims minus.001”. It shoots better groups. My guess is that I’m at .037-.038 on my headspace now. It really doesn’t like Remington or Lapua now. Doesn’t matter, I’ll just shoot the Wolf until I’m out. You know how long it takes to change headspace. It’s not permanent. If this works the rifle could be optimized for any lot of ammo. Later

[@PursuitofAccuracy]

@@jimmccaffery410 I do the same thing. I lot test and see what is shooting the best, order it, then adjust headspace to get it better if i can. I would only suggest it to people with adjustable headspace barrels as i would hate for someone to damage their rifle shimming a bolt. Good work brother.

[@jimmccaffery410]

@@PursuitofAccuracy I have a Lilja barrel also. I paid $50 to have the barrel threaded when I bought it. I put a muzzle brake on it. That eliminated the flyers. I think it was a coincidence that I ended up with a brake that worked. The next thing is to check that the front of the action is flat and square to the barrel so the shims are mated to both the barrel and action, not just on a high spot.

[@timrink256]

Tough day. Still looked like fun. Thanks for the video.

That was awesome guys, that Tikka does not appear to be sighted in. I really like the Tikka in a a nice prs chassis, but I think the CZ is the winner hands down, for the price and so easy to get parts for, CZ 457 is the clear winner for me.

Kinda crazy the least costly rifle the T1X, had the zero FTF and FTE issues. I could never afford a Vudoo and would own several CZ 457 varriants but I can never find the ones I want in stock available for sale. So I currently shoot a stock T1X and stock B14R steel. Praying to get my hands on a new CZ 457 Precision cassis MTR in 2023 Hands down best 22lr rifle precision videos being made.

[@PursuitofAccuracy]

The tikka and cz's are stellar rifles for sure. The most reliable ive ever shot. I appreciate you watching and commenting

[@davidgreenapple9397]

Impressive shooting. That said, if you really want to compare the rifles for their "base" performance, it would be interesting to see you shoot them for bullseye with 4 shot groups on paper at 50, 100 & 150 on a bench rest so that the pure rifle performance is measured (rather than the shooter's skills -- and your skills are quite impressive!).

[@PursuitofAccuracy]

Thanks David. Unfortunately the ammo plays a huge part in the overall accuracy. With two solid rifles its almost a lot testing comparison

[@tiputipu777]

4 shot groups?

[@eford7]

My issue is that you are dropping large sums on these rifles. For Joe average how does the Tikka T1x compare to the CZ 457 (both of which I own) without dropping a couple grand into the guns. With the CZ I did change to a Jard trigger so it is lighter than my Tikka which breaks at 1 lb. 6 oz. from the factory (adjusted only)?

[@PursuitofAccuracy]

@@eford7 in my opinion the cz cant be beat for a factory rifle. The t1x is pretty comparable but when and if you decide to upgrade it the cz is wide open on aftermarket accessories

[@eford7]

@@PursuitofAccuracy Thank you for the reply. I really like both the CZ and the Tikka. I also have a new model Browning T Bolt (heavy barrel) - very accurate but strictly marginal trigger out of the box. Jard makes a really great trigger for it (10oz. pull). You might want to check out the T Bolt but with the aftermarket trigger - apparently only Jard makes one for that rifle.

[@batmanrobin3853]

You should do some 50 yard testing with the two other guns that were on the channel today. That be interesting to see how they stack up against your gun.

[@justins5923]

Should put some kind of spacers between the kyl targets so they don’t hit each other when they swing.

Yeah that would have helped. The ones i typically use are much tighter and dont do that. These were already on the range.

[@papawrichard3553]

Is the CZ 457 a much improved model to the CZ 452, I bought my 452 ultra lux back in the 90’s and haven’t kept up with the changes

[@PursuitofAccuracy]

The 452 is probably the most accurate out of the box CZ rimfire ever made. But the aftermarket for the 457 is huge and the 457's have been great. Action is slightly shorter, push to fire safety, lots of good barrel options
