Wow, two years later I finally came across this video…impressive to say the least. I must admit I am a CZ fan from way back. I do like what Vudoo has done for the industry and I hope CZ decides to make even more offerings and expand our market. Thank you for the great video.
I have been very impressed with your 400 yard challenge. I got to stretch my CZ long range precision out to 400 yards and I hit a half steel plate 7 out of 10 rounds BOY was I happy. That's nothing compared to a egg but for me it was unbelievable. Thanks for showing what's possible with a 22lr.
You make a really good video. When you add your hold to the impact video, it really brings the shot into perspective. Brilliant use of what you have available. I'm picking up a lot watching how you guys shoot. I can't add anything to what you're shooting. You are really over the top on anything I could want to see. Next weekend, I'll bring out some 22 challenge targets from Mr. Revolver Guy for my daughter and I to play with. You all are making 22LR really fun to shoot.
Great shooting and content! It really shows how that CZ holds it's own at 1/2 the price of the Vudoo. Since you asked..... How about you borrow a Vudoo and do a side by side accuracy comparison of the Vudoo and your CZ at 50 and 200 yds with the same ammo and shooter on the same day.
Using same ammo seems unfair, certain guns like certain ammo better that’s the way most people “tune” a 22lr for long range shooting. You can’t expect 2 rifles to like the same stuff even if they are one serial number off
II like what your doing here. In the process of teaching my son about the “ Realm “ of plinking. I thought the 2 eggs at 100yrd increments with shot count maxs was right on…. Keep putting content out there.. Up here in Minny we only get 5 mos window before we end up indoors shooting.. Smooth and steady.
Also; it would be cool to have some "indicating" target just behind the eggs, so that you, and we, could see impact points, kind of like having a shot caller...
Gotta admit as a 457 guy myself I was rooting for you Josh haha! Great challenge thanks to you I keep pushing out the distance as well. Great video as always!
Next time you have a challenge like this, maybe use a magnet with a clip to hold some cardboard behind the eggs so you guys can see where your shots are going. I really enjoyed this video!
I know someone who uses a Custom cz 455 from before who beats the Custom match annies just for the bragging rights and as a challenge in their precision matches. He owns Custom annies as well Back then. He is very meticulous in his craft and uses every trick and the book though and can very much afford the best equipment as he buys Gun platforms and barrels in pairs or more, customizes and selects the best and sells the rest. He uses Beta blockers and shoots at his own time where he feels he would best perform. He is able to dictate this because he owns the range and he is almost always the principal sponsor of the match. This was about a decade or more ago when i was still active as a spectator on those events as i Scout around such events for Custom barrels or triggers as importing them is very expensive and is such a hassle where i come from. Would not be surprised if he now has a Custom cz 457 he uses to outshoot the vudoo again just for the heck of it as he most likely has a vudoo too.
Haha yeah its definitely possible. At a certain point once your gear is good enough it becomes more about the nut behind the trigger than the barrel in front of it
Reminds having competition with my old Mossberg 22. We would set up these little gourds that were laying around that were about the size of an egg on Pepsi bottles about 50 to a 100 yards out and the trick was to shoot the gourd off the bottle without damaging the bottle. To make it more interesting you had to shoot free standing, no bench resting. It was amazing how accurate the rifle is, I mean it beat out the Ruger 10/22 even with a full barrel change. You could shoot sipping straws in half at 25 yards consistently.
Everyone know the Vudoo is the top of the food chain but this proves that skill will always win out in the end. Just because you have the best equipment doesn’t mean you will always win.
Playing cards. Closes to the center... 1 point. Double the point if you call first. Before you take your shot. By Shoot either number on the corner of the card. Instead of the center. Starting at a hundred yards. Then pushing back in 50yard increments.
@@PursuitofAccuracy I got a game idea for you and your daughter shoot..tape a battleship target at 50 or 100 yards.. We also use old calendars at 100 yards. Flip a coin who shoots odd or even, 5 min time limit..the most days wins..enjoy
Terrific video and great shooting, that 300 and 400 is a loooong shot as the chicken flys, I saw Josh's bullet flash by the egg @ approx. 11:40 on the target cam
Your buddy was leaning on the table for every shot, Josh. You (correctly) sat back for his. HUGE difference at these ranges when the primary support is the table. He could not have helped but move around or transmit nervous energy. The fact that you won is even more impressive given that issue. Just an observation.
Josh, Been a long time since you have done one of these videos. Time to get your buddies together and do another one..... These are always fun to watch.
I like how you show the hold over that is really important 300 yd yards is way out there for any rifle And caliber most people don't shoot that far... There just isn't a space available to shoot that far... A lot of people don't realize how far 300 yd really is....🤓
Fun Stuff Guys! Just installed a Trigger Tech on my 40x 22-243 Middlestead and love it. My dinosaur Canjar trigger got stupid light and too dangerous for me to shoot and can't find anyone to rebuild it so I went new and called it a day.
Fun to watch! I have to try that. I can't wait for my Timney trigger. I was shoot 200 yards with 10 to 15 winds switching around like a pole dancer. Very hard to get consistent hits. At 3 and 400 yards with slightest breeze can be punishing. Im sure my wife won't miss a few eggs out of the chicken coop! LOL
@@curttundra mine shoots pinky nail sized 10rd groups with Eley Tenex and SK Long Range Match. If I could post the pictures I would. Mine is also not in the factory stock and has a barrel tuner.
I bought a CZ 457 several years ago. Put a cheap 3 x 9 scope on it. I could not believe the accuracy it had. It likes Winchester 36gr hollow points. A squirrel does not stand a chance!
Have you shot any other ammo to narrow it down? So you think the lighter bullets are better. I just ordered this rifle and I was wondering what ammo would shoot best.
@@georgeharvey3062 yes I have. I tried 40gr solid nose Winchester, 40 gr Winchester Wildcat, Remington and CCI. It likes the 36 gr hollow point Winchesters. I have a Browning Lever Action I bought years ago. It likes the Winchester Wildcat 40gr. Try different cartridges to see what your gun likes.
I thought I heard the vudoo hit steel at 100, which would meant he's low but still got the egg by splash. But then at 200 he clean misses, with a follow up shot that appeared to hit low left on the egg. DOPE. :)
Its diminishing returns. The vudoo, with the right ammo, will out perform the cz on most occassions....but the performance gains are small compared to the increase in cost
2 coke caps packed with flour super glue together. Set in a white rectangular box. So cap od is 31mm. Distance 375 yards ya have 5 shot round 5 targets each.
Good shooting guys I spend thousands of rnds at 400 yrds on 4" shooting Clay's and cleaning up the remnants . It's hard to call the wind without seeing your missed impacts on a dirt back ground. But nice video!! I shoot an Anschutz Match 54 with a 26 Harrell tuned barrel and a 2oz 2 stg trigger SK rifle match
Nice Larry seems like you got a super nice setup. I want to add a bench rest rifle into the mix some day. But yeah, when you can't see the miss it's a bad bad feeling haha
And 9 months later Im into the 22lr ELR game. I Started with a Ruger Precision .It shoots CCI Mini Mags good. Then I purchased a CZ 452 in a PMC Chassis. It shoots good. The Timney Trigger needs adjusting. I had ordered a CZ457 and it came in the day after I bought that CZ452..Man I love this gun. Now here is the kicker. My Green Savage from Walmart in a Boyds Stock shoots as good as any.A 400.00 gun stayi g with a CZ457 and friends $4,000. Vudoo. Now Ive building a Custom 22LR with a Stiller 2500 Action,a Lilja 3 Groove stainless Barrel with a Trigger Tech Diamond trigger.So who will Reign Supreme? Its going to have to really really shoot great to top my CZ457./ Right now Its shooting so accurate. Im waiti ng on y manson reamer. I wish I could have gotten a JGS Match Reamer I think. Time will Tell. Great Video Guys.It was a fun one to watch a 2nd time.I saw it 9 months ago b4 Id got seriousd about shooting a 22LR. Thank yall.
Every time I think Vudoo or Rimx or whatever, I find a video showing a CZ at half the price or less holding it's own. I'm pretty much convinced you need a straight barrel and a trigger that doesn't require yanking.
I sure would like to see a challenge done between Ruger 77/22 22bolt action all weather stainless steel vs those that are showing here.. I wonder how they would compare with the Ruger 77/22?
great vid. hope i can get a POA shirt size L. TIA and God bless. Challenge suggestion: 1. bottle crown facing down at 30-50 yards 2. bottle crown facing up 3 rounds 50yds 1st shot 2 pts, 2nd shot 1.5pts, 3rd shot 1pt, 100yds 1st shot 3pts, 2nd 2.5pts 3rd shot
Nice video! I think that ballistics at 400 yards, kind of equivalent to .308 at 2000... in short, damn little chance of "one shot, one egg" ;-) but, incredible accuracy from these rifles at "real" ranges! CZ certainly holds up well. Can y'all give some mire details on the Vudoo spec's, and the ammunition you were using? Nice....
@@PursuitofAccuracy not sure if ur brother is into it but he might be robbing speed with that length of barrel from what I’ve seen 20” seems to be where it’s all over for 22lr
@@taylorbokshowan5713 I dont think hes as concerned about losing mv. The rws he shoots is pretty fast out of his rifles anyways. Also hes just a buddy, not my brother 😁
@@PursuitofAccuracy I haven’t watched much of your channel but from what I’ve seen once they get to long there is a very real possibility he’s sacrificing accuracy. If he’s happy with the groups it’s producing let it be. If not I’d consider shortening the barrel.
@@taylorbokshowan5713 actually its very common to see bench rest rimfire guys shooting 24" or longer barrels. The extra length shouldnt hurt accuracy as much as it take off velocity after 18" Even though he had a tough time with the rifle on the video that rifle is extremely accurate
Great Video !! My first time watching your channel... Cause, I just got my first CZ 457 AT .. haven't shot it yet, waiting on rings. put on a Warne 15 MOA base, and got a Muller 8.5 X 25 - 44mm Mil-Dot to play with, setting up a Squirrel gun for 5 to 75 yards... ?? will start with Eley 38gr. HP will try others for sure...
I like our Videos. CZ should be sponsoring you8:) Has anyone tried tensioning the lightweight factory CZ barrels? I grew up in the 1950s shooting running Jackrabbits with 22 shorts. The winds were anything from calm to 35 mph. The lead, drop, and windage on a 29-grain bullet at a running rabbit at 125 yards are considerable. The bullets you were shooting in the video have 30 to 50% better BCs than the 29-grain bullet of 22 shorts, but a one mph change in a 90-degree crosswind moves the point of impact of the 22LR bullet with the best BC 3.6 inches at 400 yards. Using a more realistic BC of 0.138, a 1-mph change in wind speed moves the point of impact 5.3 inches at 400 yards, 3 inches at 300, and an egg missing 1.3 inches at 200 yards. An egg is a 1/3d minute wide at 400 yards, while a one mph crosswind will move a 22LR bullet 1-1/3 minutes at 400 yards. No wonder it took a long time to kill the 400-yard eggs.
Did you buy the weighted ARCA rail? Or is it just the universal rail? How much weight are you running in the rail if it is the weighted version? Maybe you can do a video of your bipod/rail setup.
What would be even more impressive is to calculate wind, mirage, humidity, etc. without the use of electronic help, and then try hitting those eggs. Most old shooters, myself included-never had any of those advantages when shooting matches in the 60's, 70's, and 80's, and we learned to dope the wind, mirage, etc. fairly accurately over years of practice.
We shoot golf balls at 300 yards. We put acoustic screws into the balls with a lathe & put a wire from the screw & hang on a pipe in sets of 10. When hit they spin like crazy & don't need to be reset. I use a Unicorn Savage bolt 22lr which shot .198 @ 85 yards with TAC22, 10 5 shot groups the worst .25, the best & last .198. Paid $285 w/scope & Boyds varmint stock.
Heyo! Do you have a CZ 457 build breakdown? Would like to know what you all have in it. I have a CZ 455 "Tacticool" I want to build on to that but haven't pushed past 100 yet (oddly it's more accurate with Winchester white box than expensive match ammo)
Hi ... I was looking at the PURSUIT OF ACURACY site ... I wanted that black t-shirt, but it's not there ... will it be in the future? And could it be sent to the Czech Republic? thanks for the reply
I believe its a standard 16 twist. By custom i just meant you cant get it from vudoo like that, he had a smith turn down the krieger and install it for him
Hey Guys that was a fun comparison. I’m happy I ordered a CZ 457 At One 2 days ago. For the money it seems like it will be a fairly accurate gun. One question though what scopes are you both using and what is the magnification of them? Much appreciated.
Hahahahaa I remember watching this when I first started and thought holy crap these guys are good ! Now that I know ya both and have shot w ya both I KNOW you’re both amazing shooters & Im definitely NOT driving up for the next egg challenge hahahahhahaa great shooting Josh & Josh 👊🏽👊🏽
