I put a Lilja 3 groove barrel on my CZ 457. Shoots very well.

I have several but this particular gun Mark at Penrod Precision built. It’s a Hall action, Benchmark 3 groove barrel, jewel trigger, Harrels tuner, McMillian stock. I shot the gun this evening indoors at 50 yards and was really amazed! The gun shot 5-6 different lots of ammo I had on hand really well. It’s always funny how one gun will shoot this flavor hood and another gun will shoot a 3” group with that flavor.

So in conclusion, after reading up on 3 groove rifling and after shooting the gun, I can say 3 groove rifling is as good as any other groove you’d choose! I’m very happy with it!

Mark Penrod is one of the best gunsmiths around. You got a real good rifle there and built by one of the best.

In a 22lr it is probably just fine. I have an AR with a 3 groove barrel in a varmint contour and it is probably my worst shooter (out of my AR's). Your rifle is a beauty. Mark Penrod does some great work.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA
