Since my last post I bought a few more boxes of the CCI Standard Velocity. This 1,050 fps, 40 grain round was consistently giving me roughly one inch groups at 50 yards out of my CZ 457 American, I couldn’t get the same lot number and the new lot is giving me 2” groups at 50 yards, not good...

In my CZ 457 American I bought for hunting the sub sonic ammo at about 1,050 fps seems to hold tighter groups. The Federal Automatch has been pretty accurate but the Aquila Super Extra 38gr @ 1,280 fps not so much in that gun. Since CCI comes in a plastic box that individually holds each round...

The refinished stock looks looks so much better now and I like it in that honey color, nice job.

Man this thread sure got derailed.

Just an FYI, be careful if you're sanding as it's easy to round over the edges, I have lightly sanded stocks too but mostly I use 0000 American made steel wool. I'm pretty careful to remove any particles before applying the finish and have never had it rust or freckle under the finish, some of...

If you’re looking for a recommendation I don’t think you can get better, I’ve had my Mitutoyo calipers for well over 25 years and they’re still working for me, so I think the extra expense over the life of there use is worth it.

According to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife their records show between 1986 and 2022 there were 22 mountain lion attacks in California with three fatalities. 11 of the attacks were children under the age of 10, none fatal, the attacks that proved fatal were against adults. see...

I think they’re traveling with their cubs, the cubs will be as large as their mothers before they leave her.

My condolences go out to the family and friends. Not much you can do in a backwards liberal blue state, they've outlawed the taking of bobcats now too. We just lost an elderly woman out picking mushrooms a couple months ago, I told my wife then it could’ve been a lion attack since they found her...

KsKevin I added a couple pictures for you of what I started with, I did strip and refinish the stock with Tru-oil and it looks a lot better than when I got. See attached link to 24hourcampfire if you want more details. One thing my grandson and I both noticed with using the CCI standard...

I own a CZ 457 American with the 24" tapered barrel and wood stock. I bought it mainly for hunting and a little target practice and plinking. I scoped it with an older Japanese made Sightron SII 4-16x42 with the adjustable AO and Burris steel rings, the scope is an even pound and the rings are...

I agree they need to list their expected minimum expansion velocities for all three bullets, I don’t know how many times I’ve done a search for the expansion of there 30 cal. so I finally just had to make my own chart.

Probably a little truth in those stereotypes.

I've never used a laser and it may work for some, but as others have said I bore sight by eye. At home I put the gun in a sled so it can't move, then pull the bolt and look down the bore, I use a white paper plate set at about 30 yards across my driveway and on the plate I put a small black dot...

You might want to get yourself a bore guide too if you don’t already have one. A little fowling at the end of the barrel wouldn’t bother me, I’d be out shooting it and seeing how accurate it is. What are you using your new rifle for?
