Hello fellow Kentuckian.. I was wondering if you would be willing to pattern federal # 4 buck for 410 in your mossberg 500 field gun with the 24 inch barrel...If you agree to do it I will mail 30 rounds of the ammo to pattern
Hey man, how is that metal carport doing for a range cover? Is it loud, or are you even using it for that? I was planning to put a pole barn style roof over mine and never thought about one of those!
Buffalo, that SK Std. Plus in your CZ 457 Varmint MTR is the best group I have ever seen on any video-anywhere. 👍🏻 I have 3 Anschutz .22’s but that CZ 457 is a gem. What is also amazing is all you did was put a lighter Yo Dave trigger spring on and put a shoe cover on the trigger. 😂😂😂 I had to get up and watch that video again it is so amazing ie(an out of the box CZ 457 Varmint MTR & you didn’t have to spend hundreds of dollars on a bunch of after mkt. supposedly upgraded barrels, triggers chastises $ bedding the chassis, bipods & play around with action screw torques and crazy cleaning techniques ! 😂😂👍🏻 I can’t believe I have missed this video as I watch all of your .22 CZ Rifle Videos! You keep saying you’re not a professional shooter I would re consider & shooting in a few Bench-rest matches as I am confident no one can come close to 10 holes at 50yds. in .300” 😳
Buffalo, Don’t change the way you do these videos, you do it best. Love that you don’t modify your rifle and then call it a CZ. I have a MTR. Would mean nothing to me with a different barrel. Thank You Buffalo!
Still testing ammunition with my MTR, but on an indoor 100yd range using SK Pistol Match, I was able to shoot a 10 shot .8 inch group. Shot another 10 rounds and it only opened up to a 1.1 inch group for 20 shots. I was very proud of it at that point. Buffalo, I greatly enjoyed this series, hats off to you.
I reached out to CZ, and they agreed that you should appear on the cover of CZ Weekly. Best group of ten in the history of anything with the name CZ on it!
This guy is to good to tell me where he got the trigger shoes oh well I'll just keep looking for them I know he is just too important and probably too busy to just say where he got those trigger shoes. But luckily I ordered two different times and got the wrong things twice so I just threw them away thanks bro. Beagleman
10 shot groups! Wow! That's incredible! I've loved this series from the get-go, and this was a perfect wrap it up. Now don't let that CZ collect any dust ;-) And thanks for mentioning the channel!
I have watched so many MTR videos that people have spent fortunes on, stainless barrels, stocks etc! You have out shot them all with a standard barrel, thanks for the videos, we loved them here in Ireland
Glad you finally got to it. Those are some great groups. That's some serious shooting and you have it on film. Something to be proud of. Congratulations!!!!!!
@@buffalosoutdoors nothing wrong with ending on a high note! It would be hard to follow that up again! Then again, seems like a good rifle, scope, ammo and shooter combination! So...
Kinda weird... but watching this feels like when a buddy stops by that you haven’t seen in a week or so! Good to see ya again! Your channel strikes a chord with us Southern/country Boys. You’re familiar. The slow, polite and humble way we talk in Appalachia.
Thanks for your work on the shoot off. I own a 452 ultra lux and 2 455’s. All my cz like the sk ammo the best. I did get better groups out of them with the old Lapua made wolf match extra but not the eley. Thanks again for your videos.
Well folks, that's a wrap. Way to go Buffalo!!!! Fine, FINE shooting sir. OUTSTANDING job on this video. Lots of information for us to work with. All the time and effort put into the entire series really shows right here. Thanks Buffalo
Hi Buffalo, great shooting there buddy. I too have been evaluating .22lr ammo through my CZ 455 16"Varmint thumbhole rifle and after trying several brands. (Geco, Eley Match/Club/Team, CCI Standard/Blazer, American Eagle, SK Rifle Match/Long Range and others i can't recall), i've now settled on SK Standard Plus. This ammo groups better than all the others i have tried in my 455. So far i have had zero flyers, if a round happened to open the group up it was down to the nut behind the butt! As you rightfully say they may not perform the same in one's particular rifle but they sure do in mine. My ammo testing is now over, SK Standard Plus all the way for me. Keep your wonderful videos coming mate. ATB from the UK.
I know is series is 3 years old but I wanted to say thank you for your time and efforts. These videos went a long way to help in my decision to purchase an MTR. Picking it up on Tuesday. Thank you sir.
You are a heck of a shooter Buffalo!! I can only imagine the pressure you talk about. That last group was soooo good, I'd a been terrified to take the last couple shots. Great vid!
I gave up using rests and only use bipod and a rear bag for testing. I found that I needed to shoot under the same conditions I compete in to really determine the accuracy or my rifles. Thanks for all your hard work.
I have also gotten some misfires with Eley match with the same CZ 457 Varmint MTR. I have since added a YO-Dave plus 10 percent main spring and added .003" of shims to my bolt. I did a slight profiling of the firing pin also.... keeping it just slightly inboard of the cartridge edge. No misfired since
I was pretty close to buying a LA101 for my first rimfire but after watching this series i'm sold on the CZ 457 MTR in 22lr, CZ owe you a beer :) thanks for a great series and good shooting.
Great ammunition, rifle and scope combination! But the "Outstanding!" award goes to Buffalo, especially for pulling off that very last shot! I have found myself in similar circumstances but I always end up having to say "if it hadn't been for that last shot being a flyer..."/ And I would just like to add that there is no way I would ever skip ahead or ffwd through any Buffalo Outdoors video!
Lights out great shooting . looking like that SK ammo is a bargain especially when you compare the price difference in some of the stuff it's beaten 👍👍👍
Wow Buffalo that's some serious consistency. Great series, and shoot off! But I gotta say the rest of us are shooting our 22s in minutes of squirrel, you are shooting in 1/4minute of chipmunk! Thanks brother for another great video.
Great job. All of my CZ 452s love SK plus but I haven't been able to print a group quite as good as the .300 that you did in this video. Thanks for taking the time to make it.
This is a great culmination of data on your rifle. Well done on putting this together.. If you want to try some SK rifle match in your rifle let me know. That was the load that did the best in the CZ i use to have. But its hard to argue with that SK Standard Plus lol. Great content buddy!
Great series! Liked how you kept everything the same throughout the prelims.. Like you said all the different opinions can grate on you after a while , but you stayed true to the series. It really is true "opinions are like a** holes, everyone has one"! Again Great Job!
Cheers Mate .Just bought a 457 in Australia ($1375 Aust) ,waiting for lockdown to finish and going to try some groups .Got some SK ammo including SK standard plus to try .Hope it goes as well ..JR
Thanks from the UK, great series of videos and some great shooting! I really appreciated how much thought you put into reducing the variables and documenting the results. I think you've found your best bullet/barrel match now!
Salut, Well done with an excellent demonstration of the various ammos fired with your CZ 457 MTR. It would have been inconsistent to change your testing methodology mid testing re kit etc. Also the various “improvements suggested”, even down to the removal of the swivel studs were impressive. However I did suggest you utilise a more accurate method of POI and MOA measurement, which could have been employed in the final contest. Ballistic-X software (as an example) which costs less than 10 dollars is not an extravagant investment and would have made your finale even better in terms of accurate assessment and acceptance. As an owner of the CZ 457 MTR and Premium models I shoot RWS Rifle Match in the former and SK Rifle Match in the latter. Please note, despite the views of other RU-vid channels who I respect, my CZ 457 MTR (with a suppressor fitted) has achieved 0.27MOA at 50 metres, which I attribute to the improved barrel harmonics with the suppressor fitted. I did also notice on your bench a copy of the CZ “Test Firing Sheet”. In Europe they shoot RWS, which ammo do they shoot in the USA? Cordialement RB
I recieved my 457 LRP last wednesday. I've shot SK Standard Plus and SK Rifle Match. Out of those 2 it also likes the Standard Plus, but I still need to test the Pistol Match, Flatnose Match, RWS Rifle Match and Eley Force. I'm pretty excited about it too! Hope to see some good results like you did! Thanks for an excellent and enjoyable Playlist! Keep it up!
Standard Plus shoots surprisingly well in a LOT of rifles for some reason 👍👍... thing that makes it even SWEETER is that most people (myself included) weren't expecting it!!!
Thank you for a great series and all your time and expense. That rifle is matching the accuracy of rifles costing more than 3 times as much! Since you began the series, we acquired a CZ 457 "At One" model for my wife. She is very pleased with it and still burning through a large quantity of Wolf Match Target I bought some years ago for her previous Remington target rifle (passed down yesterday to my oldest son for his boys to shoot). I also acquired a High Standard Supermatic Citation match pistol during this series. I am going to order some of the SK Standard Plus to give a try in both these guns. It is also the cheapest of the three. For now, I will order 200 rounds and give it a go! Thanks, Buffalo!
This has been a great series. Thanks for all the work. These 10 shot groups are very impressive. Will.be exciting to see where you and this rifles adventures take us. Take care.
That last group looks like the groups I get out of my Ruger 10/22 just one ragged hole. I've never tried SK ammo, when I can find it I may have to try it! great job Buffalo!!!
This has been a great series to watch and follow. I have a CZ 457 Varmint 20.5” barrel in a KRG Bravo stock. My rifle is a great shooter. My 457 also loves SK Standard Plus. SK Standard Plus is my go to in several rifles. I shoot my CZ from 50-300 yards.
Great video. I’m glad you finished it. Mine also likes Standard and Rifle Match. That is a great group. You might want to save that batch for special projects.
This entire series actually inspired me to pickup a new bolt action .22 and boy I'm not disappointed! Cz 456 pro varmint bone stock just LOVES the SK ammunition, standard plus averages .40 from 5x 5shot groups and the pistol match also runs in at an average of .390 from 5x5shot groups the only one that opened up was the flatnose ending up with an average .590 from 5x5shot groups. The rifle match and long range match do alright but didn't geoup as well at 50 but beat the top 50yd ammo at 100yds by an average of 15%
I really like the way you perform these test. Everything is kept in the order they’re shot. I’d like to see you put the TAC 22 through one of your test. Others say this is close to the better tournament grade ammo. Thanks for doing these programs. Very enjoyable.
I've been on the waiting list at Area 419 for a cz457 as I wanted a threaded barrel and got a notification today that they have some in a MDT chassis, so I placed my order. You might have saved me time and $$$ on ammo selection.
Hi Buffalo, I found your site and watched all of this series. I bought a CZ 457 LRP and it is exactly the same SK yellow only 1" groups at 100meters easy. Thanks for a great series well done mate Col
That's great shooting Buffalo. I watch a lot of videos and I'm always amazed at the people not doing the video always know how to do it better. I know you put a lot of time and work into your videos and I appreciate it very much. Thanks for what you do. Just watching you shoot has made me a better shooter.
I really enjoyed this series Buffalo! Very interesting and I plan on doing similar with my 22's. I have always done it with my high powered rifles but never really knew that 22 ammo can vary so much. Keep up the good work!
Like you said we have all been waiting and you always deliver.....I knew there was a reason I held onto those 1,500 rounds of SK Standard Plus I have....I was waiting to see if you would of measured that 9 round group minus that one flyer from the Pistol Match special group and seen how close it was to the SK SP.....I bet it would of been around .35 to .4!
Wonderful series , great conclusion ! Thoroughly enjoyed watching ! Hoping you’ll do a similar test of .22 WMR using your Savage Precision Rimfire with the MDT chassis !?!
Congrats!!! This was a perfect conclusion of a wonderful body of work you shared with us all. You got to prove the magazine, confirmed your tests, and walked away with excellent 10 shot groups. You walked the walk and I believe this series of videos will be of value for a long time to come as to what to expect from an excellent .22 rimfire rifle. For you, you get to know that rifle belongs to you. Thanks for your hard work!!
It’s been a fun series to watch. OK, so your CZ likes SK ammo! I’d love to see how it performs in my old 10/22, but I fear it would like feeding Filet mignon to a pig. 😉🤣😂🤣
Ive been trying sk standard and match plus in my anschutz 1416 , getting great groups at 60yds then move out to 100yds and the groups go totally to pot opening up to 2 inches , back to the drawing board so going to try rws next , great videos compilation 👍👍
Keep in mind that each batch or brand or type of .22LR differs for a number of reasons, yet the main weakness of rimfire ammo is its irregular ignition. During the priming phase of manufacturing, the priming ought to be equally distributed around the rim. If and when this is done is anyone's guess. In SK Standard Plus this ignition issue has been eliminated. The SK S+ seems to have the most consistent ignition from round to round in my experience with a variety of rimfire pistols and rifles. It shoots one-hole groups @ 25m with a handgun or @50m with a rifle (any type, from sporters to Match types), all day long, unlike any other type including ELEY and LAPUA pricey Match stuff. There is no equal to SK S+ in consistency with either a clean bore or a conditioned one; cold or warm weather, rain or shine. I have shot my best pistol matches with SK S+ and in a rifle (any rimfire type), it shines, just as seen here. Brilliant.
There's 50,000 shooters flooding google with searches for "SK Standard Plus" right now I bet! I'm one of them! Found it, in stock at one of my usual stops locally. Might just pick up a box or two and try it in my Norinco CZ Clone. Heck, it shoots bulk ammo well already. Here in Canada it runs about 26¢ per shot CDN. Thanks Buffalo, Mike.
I am surprised too. I have a couple of bricks of Plus and it shoots better than I can hold with iron sights, but so does everything else in my lever rifles. But, my semi-auto pistols malfunction often with it with failures to feed or eject... Good to know your results!
I love your channel. Thank you for all the time and effort put into this series, even the flood footage (Ha)! I look forward to getting a new video alert from you every week or so. Those groups are fantastic. I hope I can duplicate them with my 457 MTR.
Very impressive results. I do wonder if these bullets are all staying subsonic and not being affected by trans sonic transition. Keep up the great work.
Cool. Looking forward to the longer range shooting. I really enjoy your testing methods, your video editing, and your personality. Once you shoot a 10 shot group like that at 50 yards (I have not), longer range is only challenge left with 22lr. Hard to see how a more expensive rifle could have done any better.
SK Standard + AAAAALLL day baby!!!! Out of my 10-22, I get clover leafs @ 50Y! So far, it's the most consistent ammo I have found and for a fraction of the price of other purportedly match ammo, it holds its own with its head held on high!
Hey Buffalo, I haven't checked in for a while. Good to see you're still putting out top quality content. Hope all is well with you and yours. Keep up the good work my friend.
Buffalo,I shot some Pistol Match the other day out of my MTR and it out shot Center X, Eley Match and Wolf match extra. You are the one that got me to try it. I have started to shoot everything at 75 yards. Thank you !!! SK pistol Match is a lot cheaper than Eley match or Center X
