Completely agree, just an observation.

The target is supposed to be printed out as Elijah has it in his first video. Afterall, he is the one that makes the rules. He sent emails to all the guys participating in the shoot explaining that he had screwed up.

As per always, I play by the rules, even in fun shoots like this one. The guys that don't print the target as per the rules, are the ones "cheating themselves".


Moral of the story: Get out and shoot, step away from the bullseye x-ring targets. Hitting what you are aiming at is the challenge here, and I've posted HOW 4 or 5 different modified CZ457's shoot, with matchgrade ammo. As per always, there are always guys saying their rifles always shoot .2-.3's, but not many can prove it. This is a fun challenge, you might as well shoot it, if you are at the range anyway..

Regards..

Thanks for the clarification. Kudos for stepping away from shooting benched .22 rifles at bullseye pistol targets. šŸ‘

My only 457 is chambered in 22 Magnum. The accuracy hasnā€™t lived up to the hype but 22 Mag isnā€™t known for being a tack driver. Itā€™s a nice old world manufacturing style rifle that I like but accuracy is average for the chambering.

Back in the day I had issues with a very handsome Browning A-Bolt 22 WMR with an over bored barrel that measured .227 (that rifle went right back to Browning for full store credit) and a Marlin 25 MN in 22 WMR that was equally inconsistent in regards to accuracy.

These rifles caused me to reduce my expectations for the chambering even though it really preformed well on varmints. Thus, I only own 22 LR nowadays.

What is a reasonable expectations for a CZ 22 WMR as far as accuracy is concerned??

A lot of guys would probably say to get a T bolt in 22wmr. Or even a Mossberg. Those old Chucksters shot exceptionally well.

Not Old World or Old School at all, but my Bear Creek side-charger .22 Mag upper ($206 on sale) shots MOA or darn close out to 100 with both Hornady 30gr VMax and 50gr Federal, with drastically different POIs at that range of course. Much more accurate than either the 455 or the 9422M I had, though admittedly with ammo not available then. Downside is it requires a MIL-Spec trigger for reliable function and ignition, though I suppose one of those could be tweaked a bit.

At 50 yards, everything I tried lands pretty much in the same place.

BTW, those 30gr were cracking about 1700 out of a 6.5ā€ Single Six yesterday, much to my surprise!

The Ruger American 22 mag. I have shoots real well at 100yds, especially with Hornady 30gr.
Don't know if it makes a difference but mine is a 22" barrel.
