CZ 455 Tacticool vs Precision Trainer Comparison & Accuracy Test .22 Long Rifle 

Thanks for taking the time to do this video and the 5 part series on the Tacticool. I am just starting to get interested in precision shooting and after much debate had decided on a CZ 455, but had yet to figure out much else. Now I know I want a Tacticool and I have a really good base of information about (cost) effective modifications I can make to improve the rifle as I learn and grow in the sport.

When I am grouping to test ammo, I will always turn the elevation either up or down so that I don't shoot the centre of the target out. (eliminating the problem you encountered) That way you will always have the dot in the middle to align the cross hairs against and a nice consistent grouping to measure against. Then just return to zero after shooting! All the best from Canada EH;~) *awesome rifles BTW. Love my CZ 452 Varmint.

I love it. A 50 power scope for 27 yards!

Great little series on the CZ's fun to watch.

I'll do that next time I go out. Good input TheNisgaa. Thanks. Much love for our Canadian brothers. I lived in Montreal for 2 years.

After watching all your 455 videos I went ahead and ordered the Tacticool version...I bought a Nikon P-22 2x7 it was on sale and I figured I can learn the fundamentals and who knows maybe eventually upgrade to a higher magnification Scope. I like your videos 👍🏻

I would like to see at 50 to 100 yards accuracy. 27 yards is too close to judge. As my pcp air rifles can match those groups.

Thanks for the video. I am just getting into 22lr comps and had not thought about close in focus! For my .308, and .223W rifles it is about reaching out to infinity, but rimfire is another game. I have a few okay scopes to test and I think I will start with the Primary arms 4-14-44 as it has the open chevron ACSS reticle that should allow me to see all the crazy small targets without reticle blocking. Have fun, G.

I had intentions of installing the Yo-Dave Trigger Kit as recommended in this video, but after receiving & testing my new CZ 455 Varmint .22LR Heavy Barrel, the trigger is perfect from the factory. I don't know if CZ has started shipping the 455 with new improved triggers, but this trigger is perfect. Trigger has an estimated 2-lb pull...no take-up (and I mean zero take-up)...crisp break. The gun is brand new, and the trigger is already perfect. It can only get better with use.

What an awesome sport....!!! Really exciting to watch the marksman challenge.

Excellent video,young man,my Rimfire rifles are two Sako Quads in 22l and 17hmr also the Sako Finnfire 22lr I have Bushnell Elite scopes on all my rifles.The Sako rifles will shoot sub MOA at 100yds with Eley Tenex ammo or RWS ammo.I have 2 centre fire rifles CZ with set triggers.Stay safe.

I really enjoy your videos. They are full of great information. Can you please answer a question for me? Does the DIP rail adapter you use damage the receiver when you tighten the set screws? I am considering scope mounting options on my new CZ 455. I like the DIP rail adapter, but if I ever decided to remove it, I don't really want to see permanent screw marks on top of the receiver. Thanks in advance if you see this and take the time to respond.

The bolt on your Precision Trainer seems like butter, the Tacticool seems to have a slight catch. Did you modify your bolt?

OLD VIDEO, BUT GREAT SHOOTING!! I THINK SINCE THIS VIDEO YOU SWITCHED TO A CUSTOM BARREL CORRECT? WHAT BRAND AND WHAT LENGTH OF BARREL DID YOU GO WITH?

nice review bro...but come on...the beast on the trainer is the rifle itself! btw i am struggling to buy a CZ precision trainer in Italy but it seems that it is not even "imported". keep shooting and posting.

Parabéns só tiros de precisão agrupamentos top cz é outro nível meu sonho também uma CZ lr22.

Thanks for the reply your channel is awesome

Please test at 50 or 100 yards

Impressive

I'm loving the CZ 455 porn. Thanks and keep up the great work!

I noticed that my tacticool at 50 yds is more accurate when I shoot with the cz 452 metal magazine than the original plastic one.

2 of the worlds best

Dose the colour of your sunshade match your scope ? I got one from amazon the colour seems a bit off

The Camo rifle (Precision trainer?) sure appears to be the winner in this test, but I think the test would have been better at 50 meters. Great shooting rifles. both of them but there is only one "winner".

DId you ever get around to shooting them at 50 or 100 yards? I am currently debating on a VPT or doing a similar "build" on the Tacticool.

What do you think about the cz 455 and 455 varmint bull barrel? Would they compare to these guns? Does savage make a good 22lr stock?

Hey man! I just bought a cz 455 and I want to get a good scope to be able to use to shoot like you guys do in the 22 marksmen challenges. I was thinking about getting the SWFA 20x42 fixed power scope... with that scope will I be able to do the 25yard shots and also go out to 200yds... Thanks for the help! And would you choose the 16x42 or the 20x42

Hmmmm...scope at 27 yards....I shoot peep sights...get similar groups...2MOA. Scope seems like a “ladies aid.” However, none of the manufacturers provide a dovetail for front sights....I put a “bloop tube” on the SR threads to carry the front aperture. $1300 for a scope?? Not in the budget at my house.

About the Harrris Swivel Bipods. What do you think that fits better in CZ 455? 1) S-BRM Hinged Base 6 - 9-Inch BiPod ? 2) Rotating Black Leg Notch 9"-13" SLM ?

It's great that shooters like to make these types of videos, but there is literally no way to draw any conclusions from this, as it was not a valid test in any way at all.

Good video! How does a Ruger 10/22 with an aftermarket barrel like say the Tactical Solutions compair to your CZ Tacticool accuracy wise? Thanks!

Just checking for that Tacticool with the 16 fixed, does that have low or medium rings?

that was weird how the second wolf group shifted up 1/2" on the second group at about 3:30'ish. Wonder what that was about?

i was wondering on either gun what D.I.P rail you are using? I see they carry a few different variations and was wondering which one would be best. I was also wondering about how you changed your bolt knob on the VPT?

Why is the 16 inch barrel as good as an 18/20 inch, I understand that the scope dismisses the iron sight sighting length... Is it a complete powder-burn in the 16"? Seems to me that the longer barrel will increase the gyroscopic effect on the projectile, have a complete powder burn and mean less work for the suppressor...

What kind of rings are you using on the Tacticool, and what are their heights? Thank you

I just bought a CZ 455 Varmint .22LR Heavy Barrel. I am planing on buying the SWFA Fixed 10x42mm scope. How should I mount the scope to the integrated 11mm dovetail? I don't think the 20 MOA DIP Rail is for me. If I wanted to mount my scope directly to the 11mm dovetail, which rings do you recommend?

Would you do a vid of the proper way to break in a cz 22lr and how you clean your barrel and how often

How does the savage TR-SR compare to the CZ tacticool? Also any idea how makes the stock on the Savage Mark ii TRR-SR and the Mark ii TR .22 rifles?

In your 22 matches what other makes of rifle is used, I see a lot of CZ, does anyone use Ruger, Savage and if not why. Thanks good videos getting lots of good ideas.

I am leaning toward purchasing a Tactical Savage, now I just don't know... What do any of you recommend? The threaded and fluted barrel on the Savage is my sticking-point.. Let's have some help here. please...

were those the 16.5" barrel's or the 20.5", and Is that an older tacticool? It looks like the barrel isn't suppressor ready and I think all of the new ones are shorter and suppressor ready? Unless the barrel is a mod?

Are 22lr just not accurate or what? RWS .22cal pellet gun shoots much better groups like dime size

hi my friend i jus want to know from where did you get your bolt handle thanks

Looking to purchase a CZ 455 Percision Trainer, wanted to know the barrel length of the one in your video.

Has the door finished vomiting in the background yet.....! Fing hilarious!

Is the sightron ffp or sfp? Also does it come in mil/mil?

would you recommend the DIPinc. 25moa rail or the standard rail to be able to shoot from 25 yards out to 300 yards?

Are you starting to see any vudoo rifles show up at your all's 22 rifle matches yet? If so are they better than the cz's? Thanks

Is the CZ 455 varmint the best bet in accuracy for $450? What scope do you recommend for 50 yard benchrest at $400? I'm starting out but want to keep the whole kit n' caboodle under $1k. Thanks for the help

Shoot the same test with both set at 16 power.

The older trainer rifles had a Lilja bbl. fyi.

The 455 Tacticool doesn't come free floated?

why not try the swfa fixed 20x42

Where do you get Lapua Center X for $10.55/ 50 Rd Box ? Why are you shooting at 27 yds.? At 25yds there should be only a one hole group 🥴 That is not a valid comparison what a CZ or the ammo can do

Do you guys have any experience with the cz 455 varmint? how does it compare to these two?

Where do you get wolf match target for that price? Do tell

I thought the tacticool has a shorter barrel?

How are you liking the Sightron siii?

16x Scope for a .22? Seems a little overkill, but I may be wrong.

Jesus you have a dam telescope on that trainer.

Have you had a chance to re-test these rifles?

Awful groups for 25 yards on a bipod. Is that the rifle's fault, it can't shoot without accurizing and that's why so many CZ videos don't show actual group shots?

I can't believe that " Long range shooters" would test at 27 Yards!

5, 5, 4, 6, 6, 4, 5, 5. :)

the dog;')

Who makes the stock for CZ on the trainer

I found this video deeply upsetting and distressing ! My CZ Trainer wouldn't shoot with any ammunition. Payed $200 for a trigger job, replaced the factory barrel with a Lilja match $450, installed a new series 10x Nightforce $1600, added rails, knobs, etc. As a last ditch attempt, I replaced the Manners stock with a $1200 McMillan A40 ........ and hey, presto So now I'm left to fathom the question, should I have just bought the bloody Anschutz with the 54 action, and been done with it !?!? :(

In perusing DIP's web site at www.diproductsinc.com/Products.aspx?CAT=4268, their specs indicate that the slanted base is at an angle of 25 MOA. I'm contemplating scope / base / ring options. 25 MOA seems awfully steep. If most of my shooting will be at 25 - 100 yards for a while, would I be better off with a level base?

Omg is someone being choked to death in the background lol

do you need to break the barrel in ?

i would like to watch a real world test......everything being equal....

You might get your dog and kid to not be in your videos, a bit distracting. Was wondering if the dog was going to survive. Good into though.

27 M? use sling shot cheaper..

$63 for a brick of Wolf Match Target in 2014? My local gun shop has it for $59.99 right now, in 2014 I think it was about $52 per brick. Did I forget to mention I have a great LGS?

Give me a break !!!!!!!! 27 M ! I can throw rocks almost that accurately. Yep that's great if you fall over a rabbit and happen to pull the trigger as you hit the ground. In the real world with rabbits your looking at 25 m - 125 m as a usual indicator when taking shots in Australia, sometimes out to whatever your skill and experience will allow. I have seen head shots at 250 m with .22. Walked out distance so allow + - 10 m. Yep seen it time and again with just a simple Anschutz .22 LR with no special preparation. I used to practice with open sights at 125 m when I was much younger, and all shots were inside a matchbox with Stirling or Winchester ammo. Shooting is about accuracy and precision. A .22lr sighted at 75 m is an excellent example of rifle and rifleman precision at both lessor and greater distances ( and I am talking with open sights), and if you want to test ammo then at least pick what .22 lr is used at ie 25 m - 125 m +. I am older now and my eyes don't work so good but I can still clip 200 m everyday, ( yep i have my own range to test to 400 m) depending on cross and head winds, with a scope on the first or definatly the 3rd shot. And I am talking about a stock Anschutz .22 built 40 years ago using commercial Winchester / CCI ammo and a Viper 1 st plane scope scope. While I appreciate your efforts, at least make them real to what the ammo is designed for. 25 m is falling over a rabbit and clubbing it to death. 50 m is well I just got the rifle up in time. 75 m is well lets aim and take the shot. 100 m well lets take a bit of extra care. 200 m well lets take our time and be really careful with our shot. While I appreciate your effort, you have told me nothing about what these rifles are capable of achieving with the capability of a .22 at various distances. Please be more critical and analytical Regards Rob Marx

My 455 varmint shoots that good with Federal champion, and at 50 yards.

27yds waste of time!

27 yards ? ok not watching this then . pointless.
