You did a great thing - you proved that 22 LR can be way more ACCURATE than modern PCP airrifles. PCP are more easily to be tuned to pellets/slugs by means of simple velocity changing and projectiles are more uniform . 22 LR needs more knowledge, more work for ammo chosing, more complicated tuning and more PURSUIT FOR ACCURACY. You did it ! Thank you!
22 LR should be more accurate up to this point . introduction to slugs in the PCP world still in its infancy with high end PCP controlling velocities to within 5 fps on average look for that to change . It will make it more fun and advancements for both sides to stay ahead of the game .
I've the same rifle, absolutely love it....never experienced accuracy in a rimfire like that before. Mine loves SK Red. That rifle has made my son pretty confident shooting as well, got his first impacts at over 350 yds with it.
I admire your dedication to teaching your daughter to shoot and participating with her in competitions. I did the same but she is now 35 ….. still great fun ….. problem is ….. she now shoots better than me.
Great info and quality content as always, thank you for all the time taken to share info 👍 I don’t think you need to change a thing, and best of luck with the channel
Very impressive. IMHO, you have one if not the best .22 rimfire sites on RU-vid. Outstanding videos. BTW I just bought a CZ 457 Varmint. Should have it by the end of the week and anxious to get it out and see what it will do. Keep the videos coming.
Really appreciate what you do and how well you do it. I am a 70 year old beginner at this .22 accuracy shooting. I was in the store looking for some ammo for my lever guns and saw this CZ 457 Trainer and just liked the way it looked and felt. A couple of months later and I have tried 4 scopes and now have a Boyd's stock on order. Have been learning a lot from your channel. It's the first u-tube I have ever subscribed to. Keep it coming bud, well done.
Great shooting something I read on eleys website about there tenex range they recommend cleaning around every 100 rounds. Something iv noticed the standard deviation seem to increase on a dirty barrel.
Romeoabq- always enjoy watching and learning from your videos. I am a new shooter and just started with rim fires. The only shooting I had done prior was when I joined the Marines in 1974. I only went to the range twice during my 4 years of duty. I make a point to watch your videos because they are well done and I informative. Thank you and keep shooting.
Love the videos, so informative to an old fart who bought a RPR and is new to precision shooting . I go head to head with my friend and his CZ down at Ant Hill Range in NC . Working at 50 yds now . Max at our range is 185. We will get there. Keep up the good work !
Great shooting. I would really like to see 5 x 5 shot groups at 150yds with same sorted ammo. I'll let you know how my Anschutz MPR64 does at this same test.
Muzzle velocity spreads are huge in the rim fire game. I shoot a magneto speed along side the barrel without it touching the barrel and on the best 22 rim fire ammo the extreme spreads are big. By using this technique, it will help one understand the limits of precision at elr 22 rim fire precision and accuracy. Great content!! Thanks!!
Yeah ive found huge deviations and some ammo that was extremely good as well. The eley match in my lilja had a SD of 2 fps for the first 10 rounds fired through the rifle
Impressive. CZ has a winner with the 457. My wife has the 457 in the "At-One" laminated stock, 24" barrel. She regularly shoots groups within those little 1" orange dots at 100 yards with Wolf Match Xtra and CCI standard velocity Target ammo. Even with cheap, bulk ammo, her rifle will shoot just over 1" @ 100 yds. Her rifle is fitted with an old Weaver 2-7x scope and it seems to be all she needs. She has not fired the rifle beyond 100 yds. though.
Great video . That cz is a turning into a hammer brother , congratulations that’s super impressive . I’m going to try and get out tomorrow with my Tactacam and do this with some sk lrm will keep you posted .
@@70willard i had one and ended up selling it. The parallax focus for my eye never matched the scope cam focus and it was, honestly, a huge pita. I wanted to it to work out so bad. Could have been just mine though
Very impressive. Nice shooting and Like the channel. I just got a CZ Varmint and through on the Arken 6-24-50. Not nearly as nice as your set up but look forward to shooting it. I appreciate your ammo testing and hope you will share some tips for shooting PRS.
I have switched from Eley to Lapua/SK. I have a couple of good Lots of Lapua Center-X and SK Long Range. My Bergara really likes one Lot of SK Biathlon. Most folks don't realize that premium ammo, like Eley Tenex, must be Lot tested. I have had a couple of Lots of Eley Team that out grouped good Lots of Tenex. I plan on having a 4 grove Shilen Ratchet barrel installed on my Bergara just to see how accurate it can be. Trying to decide what chamber to use. I love how my H&R 12 adjusts headspace. Take the bolt apart and add or subtract shims.
Josh, have you ever tried bullet reforming/sizing? I went through all your vids and didnt see anything on that subject. Neal Waltz makes a die for that. I have one on order I am going to try but many that already have them say it really shrinks groups as well as makes hollow points.
“You are doing everything right”. 👍🏻excellent video as usual. Personally don’t appreciate the loud music. Lets US know when you out shoot the (doo doos) 😂😂👏🏻 ps would love too see you shoot the Anschutz 1761 & the 1710D HB 🤔 There are know excellent videos on U-tube shooting groups with those rifles 🤔
I just received a new VPT but it has to go back , one stock screw is so tight that I can't get it loose. There must be a hundred inch pounds of torque on the screw. Just wanted to adjust the trigger but I found out why it shoots a little weird probably. Shot a bug that landed on my target at 75 meters but it never settled down to repeating that kind of accuracy.
Alexander, I got a case of Lapua Center X from the test facility in Ohio earlier this year and just happened to get lucky on another case of Eley Match from a buddy. It randomly shows up on good online shops like: goodshootinginc, killough shooting, etc. Just got to be quick.
Question! I would like to build one. Don’t care which rimfire cartridge . But I can not find left handed bolts to build. Any suggestions?? Great looking rifle btw.
Very nice shooting at 150 Yds, especially that .78” group. I’m curious about what you can accomplish with sorting premium ammo. I’m a benchrest competitor and If I could consistently shrink my groups by 1/16” at 50 Yds, I would win most of the time. I shoot a CZ 457 MTR with a Lilja barrel in the ABRA light barrel class and a custom Turbo action / Shilen Barrel gun with tuner in the ABRA heavy barrel class.
Get yourself a very good set of Calipers and a Hornady Rim thickness guage. I seperate my ammo into ½ thou lots. Then I weigh each bullet in each lot and batch them up into seperate boxes. I think you will be pleased with the improved accuracy.
Great video, Match grade ammo should come weighed, and primer thickness sorted period! it should simply be a part of the production line in all upper grade match ammo. I mean really how hard would it be to have a scale system and primer measuring system in place at the end of the production line..... JMO
@@PursuitofAccuracy When your manufacturing millions of rounds wouldn't it be worth .50 cents per box for that level of quality/consistency/accuracy???
Have you or can you do a video explaining how you hold the rifle while you shoot? Do you load the bipod? What about shooting off of concrete... do you do anything different like change bipod feet? Any info on using a bipod and bags would be appreciated. Thanks!
Nice shooting! I have the CZ Pro Varmint but I've been looking for a cheek riser since my Area 419 rail raised my scope up considerably even though I'm running X-low rings. Where did you get your cheek riser from?
After thinking on a barrel swap I decided, I will always be wandering if, so I went to Lilja page as I have been off and on for a while and darn it the heavy barrel is out of stock. I have the MTR VPR. Shoots good. Did you do different torque on the barrel mount screws? Man that is a lot of tinkering if so. Do 1 thing at a time so you know what helps or degrades accuracy. I just have to wait till Lilja gets in more stock. Good video. Alway excited to see what your up to.
I messed with that trying to minimize cold bore shift in my groups and since then always go back to that. The action screws didnt seem to have much afffect to accuracy on the manners stock.....probably the pillars and the super tight inletting. The headspace hasnt so much affected accuracy as it has consistency in accuracy
I just wondered if some magazines shot better than others I know with my air rifles they do. So you could probably stick with the one that gave you the .78
I havent seen any appreciable accuracy diffferences between the mags. The cz mags load so smooth i dont think any of the mags i have are causing any deformation.
Hey man can you please tell me your gun set up? I’m trynna buy one just like that but with a wood stock. And what website did you use to buy that 457!? Thanks
I would like to see how your CZ shoots with Lapua X-act, Midas +, and Center X. Before I try it in my CZ 457 LRP. .22 ammo in Australia is twice to three times the cost as it is in the US. A packet of X-Act is $43.65 USD here.
Ouch. Off the shelf without testing its going to be a crap shoot. The midas and x act are going to be more consistent but your barrel may not shoot the lots you buy. If your not going to lot test prior to i would buy the center x
The issue is when you start pushing that little 40 grain projectile that hard manufacturers cant seem to keep them consistent or stabile. The match ammo we are shooting has 2-6 fps standard deviation. High velocity is usually easily 5 times less consistent
@@PursuitofAccuracy the cci I’m using is 32 grain, never give me a flayer and I never missed , my target is only 1 cm My group at 50 yards never out of 1 cm .
@@j.haseli2291 i find it hard to believe that your shooting .39" groups with 32 grain cci and never missing. That would be a feat for high grade match ammunition
@@PursuitofAccuracy I can make video, and send it to you, I have cz 28 inch 22 LR I never missed I have cz 24 inch 17 HMR I never missed I have savage 21 inch 22win I never missed.
I just picked up a precision trainer and getting ready to order rings for my scope, would you be willing to let me know what MOA rail you have and ring height. That looks like the height I would like on mine, thanks.
What’s your thoughts on factory 20” MTR Barrel? I was going to order a Lilja barrel and they are sold out. I’m running factory 20 varmint non MTR now. Not really wanting the IBI or LW due to non headspace adjustment
@@PursuitofAccuracy yes I agree with the being able to set head space on the Lilja. That’s why I’m steering away from the IBI, LW,& MTR. I’ll guess I’ll wait for them to come back in stock. Thank you
Now make this post yet again except find an inexpensive Rifle with an inexpensive scope and some inexpensive ammunition and try to shoot some rather expensive groups with it !😎
Great shooting and info. I’ve only shot about 300 rounds thru my new MTR and best so far is 1.15” group at 100 yards. I did have a couple of flyers and would love to know if sorting can get rid of those. I have a lot of ammo testing to do yet and would like to see how the R50 or Special Match from RWS does in this rifle.
@@PursuitofAccuracy Hi, we shoot these targets at our club in Australia, its a hard target to shoot but will tell you where your level of shooting is after doing so, try with weighted ammo and un-weighted. Cheers mate
You do a great job in your videos, i dont know how to send private messages or emails….. if youd like to try sum. i b happy to ship you sum. let me know. i am Technician1 on rimfire central, i can pm that way.
I'm not sure you will see it in rimfire but when I was competing on the Field Target Circuit (Air Rifle) www.aafta.org we would see shifts in our optics from temperature changes. Yes the scopes will shift poi if the tempature swings enough. Many ran temp guages on the scope bodies and would change the dope accordingly. The Nikko Sterlings and Schmidt and Benders were notorious for it. Our distances were much shorter but our targets were also a lot smaller. You displayed some excellent shooting here. Thumbs up.
Appreciate the comment and support Throne Fishing. That's super interesting to hear, I don't do much bench rest shooting but I know the bench rest shooters account for virtually every variable.
