Very impressive ARA card being that you were not using a built benchrest gun on a 1 piece benchrest designed to be used with a 3" flat benchrest stock, and obviously a low powered scope and no wind flags. I have shot many ARA cards in competition and being that it scores down it is truly a hard card. Good shooting!
JOSH ..!!!! IT MAY BE ON TARGET SHOOTING..? ? ? YOU MAY BE SCARED THAT JOE { CYCLOPS } IS GOING TO CALL YOU OUT ....!!! LMAO ...!!!!! JOE DOES GIVE YOU A SHOUT ON HIS CHANNEL ...!!!! THANK YOU FOR THIS GREAT VIDEO , P.S. GREAT SHOOTING ..!!!!! DOUBLE G. HERE ...!!!!!! GOD BLESS YOU AND FAMILY ..!!!!
Keep in mind that most benchrest competitors are shooting off of a benchrest specific shooting rest, some of which cost as much as the MTR base gun. Shooting a full card off a bipod is bananas (and seems very boring).
@@PursuitofAccuracy I weighed and sorted my RWS Rifle match (professional) and after weighing 3150 rounds the weights varied by only .04 grams. Typical weight was 3.43 grams. This has cut down the severity of the flyers in a big way. I whole heartedly recommend trying this to see for yourself if it does make a difference.
It used to be frustrating for me. It revealed every flaw in my shooting. The target doesn't lie. I learned to like it and it made me a much better shot.
Hey Josh I’m pleased to see the CZ back , the Vudoos nice but the CZ will always be my favourite , I’ve fitted a Timney trigger to my 455 , changed the stock to a Boyd thumb hole fitted pillars and fully floated the action , we’re out of lockdown now so I took it to the range to try it out an Mate what a difference it made to the accuracy , thanks for the video Josh I look forward to them all but prefer the CZ content , Aussie Steve.
Thanks Steve. Glad your out there shooting again. The CZ is back in full force. With the Vudoo around I may make it my prs rifle and the cz my show pony for crazy hard shots
Don't you hate it when you are hitting 100's then out of no where you get a flyer! Welcome to my world of bench rest! I have videoed myself several times from different angles just to see if it is me. 9 times out of 10 it is the ammo or a change in the environment. Great shooting though & good luck in your up coming tournament!
I know you head spaced your barrel, have you tried separate you ammo by rim thickness?I know with club and team it makes a difference, I'm working on getting 3 different lot # of tenex .
I have sorted before and had inconclusive results. I may try it again with the eley match im running. I had lot tested some tenex a month or so ago but only like 2 lots, all they had at the time, and it didnt pan out.
Thanks for shooting the full 25 at the ARA CARD. It was not a perfect score but it was damn good. You’re only human. I’ve had similar results with my CZ457 MTR with SK ammo. It will be a great day if I ever score 2500.
Great video. Glad to see you're actually human and not just a machine that can hit quarter inch targets at 200 yds! ;) I shoot 50 yds BR style paper targets pretty often with my CZ 457 Pro Varmint (16 inch barrel) and I have to say on a good day I get pretty close to what you shot in the video. Keep the videos coming!
Worst edge scoring makes it very hard. Try the USBR target it's even more difficult. Josh, I got my new Benchrest rifle. It's the challenge of it that I like. Well done
Hey Josh I know this is a different subject but whatever happened to the video on how to clean the 457 without removing it from the stock with the cheap raiser on the stock? We are all waiting for that thank you
@@PursuitofAccuracy Thanks for the quick response I thought you were going to make a video on how to modify the cheek rest so that we can all clean our barrel without removing the action from the stock thank you again
It's nice to watch someone else have their heartbeat showing up in the reticle and scratching their head about why one shot randomly went low when the next went high when you know for a fact both trigger pulls and holds were good. Misery loves company brother! :D Good stuff though - now its time for some Iosso on that barrel!
Nice to see the CZ back, also enjoy the Vudoo , great to have both. Nice shooting on the ARA card with bipod and rear bag not being optimum setup. Any way to see a collective 25 shot “group”. Thanks for the effort you put in and best of luck in the Regionals! Nick
Hmmmm 25 shot group. Yeah im actually about to do a shootout to see which rifle goes to regional. Its my dwindling supply of match ammo so maybe we can compromise at 15 shot group lol
@@PursuitofAccuracy Thought there was software to overlay all 25 shots around a common center. Might be helpful to determine spread for the entire 25 shot "group".
Nice video Josh. A buddy of mine set up a CZ457 similar to yours... Lilja, Timney, but in an MDT XRS chassis. I got to shoot it and I just don't know how it can get any better. I was also able to try a Manners 457, but it did not have the cheek riser and it desperately needs them, but the feel of the stock is quite remarkable, If anyone here has expenseve taste in stereo equipment, I'll likely be selling a piece to get into one of these :)
Hey Bud, I just Cyclops boosting your channel. A lot of the comments said they watch your channel. I’m still trying to win a scope. Arken EP4 is on my CZ. I hope the promo helps your channel to grow.
Thanks for all your great tips and videos. I see that you have the Arca rail system. I recently purchased the setup but I can't find an example of anyone installing it on a synthetic stock like on my CZ457 lrp. How did you install yours? Can't find a single example on the internet. I can't drill into mine until I see how it's done. Any recommendations??
You will need to drill bolt size holes from the bottom into the barrel channel then countersuck the size of the t nut and put the t nuts in. You can epoxy them in as well after if you like but not necessary. Send me a message on my site and I can send you pics of mine
You said it yourself, a couple vids ago. Maybe it needs cleaning? If you can drive nails at 180, it should be able to clip the centers for the most part. That tiny dot is for machine rests anyway. Worst target I hate is matchsticks at 50.
Vudoo vs CZ 50/100/200 paper targets. It's time to shine or whatever. Make sure both guns are clean. Shoot the falling shoots and take it to the limits.
Sweet video as always! I dont mind what rifle you are shooting,im just here because i love all 22lr shooting. And i really like your videos. Im a Tikka t1x owner myself and just enjoy 22lr stuff! Keep up the good work! Kisses from Sweden!
Glad to see the CZ back. For you not likin to bench rest shoot, you shot a nice score. Good luck in your upcoming match. When is the drawing for the Athlon scope?
Hey Frank I appreciate it. We did a random draw on the 1st and announced the winner on the community section. Winner has yet to respond back so just waiting on him. Got another Athlon coming soon to be given away as well
The video change up was so cool . It’s like you were walking with a purpose to go burn it down lol . Great video and yea I understand the paper target thing . I shot a bench match the other Sunday and I’m just not used to it anymore, plus my rifle is specific built for prs/nrl
I shot my first ever 22 bullseye match last Monday I actually had fun and I'll go again, it's more relaxing than I expected. Still like shooting NRL22 though I'm not giving that up. Waiting for the next Vudoo video!!🙂
Hi Josh, do you recall the labeled speed of the eley match ammo you preferred using your original mtr barrel. Going to order a mixed lot and looking for a starting point. Thanks
Found you through Cyclops Joe. Subbed. Your accuracy tips are great, especially for me since I just bought a CZ457 (VPC) and started doing vids with it myself. By the way, the audio is a little bass heavy or muffled compared to some of your other recent vids. Have you changed your audio equalization?
Thats me playing with the EQ trying to find what comes out the best. Also a different audio codec during rendering. Usually I dont do any audio adjustments
@@PursuitofAccuracy If you like the fuller tone, then keep this EQ setting but bump up the dB a little bit. I know, I know, audio editing/engineering is a bit of a rabbit hole if you start tinkering.
Nice work. It would be great to see an edit from your upcoming competition - good luck. Re the CZ. I think a lot of people (myself included) love the CZ content as it is a more achievable base - especially here in Australia. From memory a Voodoo barrelled action here down under is $3200! Crazy!
Ouch. Yeah im trying to keep it an even mix for sure. Going to be practicing a lot this next week. Probably gonna do a shoot off between the two and see which I will be taking to regionals
Excellent review. Very professional. Use of camera thru scope was extremely interesting. You are an excellent benchrest shooter. Anyone that posts a video on rifles and accuracy needs to follow your benchmark. Don't show me groups anymore. Put up 25 targets and use the camera type scope so WE can observe your aim point. The point of impact is effected by many variables and your video proves that the man behind the gun is not a major issue on these 25 shots.
I have been shooting ABRA for several years and can send you some of those targets, you will like them because they score to the friendly side but are a challenge for sure. I posted a video on RU-vid, Introduction to ABRA, check it out a let me know about the targets and I will send you several.
@@PursuitofAccuracy The rules changed after we did the video and they now include the outlaw class which includes bolt action guns. Heavy barrel is anything that is .85 or bigger at the muzzle and outlaw lite is anything smaller at the muzzle so all .22cal now can shoot ABRA.
I see josh also has that heartbeat in the reticle, man I thought i was the only one from watch other peoples videos. It drives me crazy man, but im getting to where i just deal with it.
NPA. I had the same problem. I posted on Snipershide on how to fix it. Work on your Natural Point of Aim. Get square behind the rifle and position it closer to your midline which for me is inner clavicle. Cheek weld is like a butterfly kiss. Load the bipod the correct amount. Make sure your rifle is setup to you in a relaxed position NOT you set up to your rifle. This all helped a lot Do a bunch of dry firing to find your NPA.
Hey Josh, Great video. One year at the ASSA national championships Eley had a challenge that involved that bench rest target. We shot it prone at 50 yards using a sling and a scope. I had “one of those days” and fired a 2450 with 17 centers. It turned out that it was high score for the match and won a brick of Eley Tenex. A humbling moment to finish ahead of some world class shooters. Your videos are some of the best I’ve seen. Well done.
What was your score? It looked pretty good for your equipment. You don’t have adequate support (although I enjoy shooting with a bipod and bag.) Your optic is not powerful enough - you really need at least 40X if your rifle is precise enough for 1/16” differences in aim at 50 Yds; 50x - 55x is best. A benchrest shooter would have 4 wind flags down the line of fire. A top ARA rifle would be in a benchrest stock, have a 55x Nightforce scope, and a tuner on the barrel that was optimized to the ammo.
Hey Josh ! Love your videos. I’m trying to find the hostage targets you and your daughter where shooting a few videos back . Can yo tell me where I can buy some . Thx
I noticed your scope, any many precision guys scopes, has a very long front cylinder to it. Is this aftermarket? Is this how the scope comes or it it added on to assist in some way? I'm new to shooting, just curious!
@@PursuitofAccuracy ah that makes sense. Thanks! Love the content by the way, went out and bought a CZ 457 LRP today! Saw it on the used rack at my local shop and couldn’t resist
Some good accuracy even if a little dirty but agree find the old bench rest a little slow to steel, paper is a patient mans game…never thought to blame my dog for everything mine only gets done for crop dusting…
