    Help me decide which 22LR bolt action

    Well, thanks for all the input guys…pulled the trigger on the CZ457 and was able to to get it out for its maiden voyage. CZ 457 Varmint, no modifications, just straight out of the box after mounting Bushnell LRHS 3-12x44 (I know, the target shooters will tell me there are much better options for...

    For Sale NIB Bushnell Elite Tactical Hunter 4.5-18x44 LRHS - G2M Reticle

    Wow, can’t believe this isn’t gone already. LRHS are fantastic for the $ and usually go fast when they come up for sale. I have the LRHS 3-12x44 and, for the price, it’s an awesome optic for hunting (ffp, great reticle, great glass, lower weight, capped windage, low profile elev turret with ZS...

    Want To Buy WTB Minox ZP5 3-15x50

    Looking to buy a Minox ZP5 3-15x50. I’m open to reticle options so if you have one in good condition and are looking to part with it the LMK. Thank you. Kevin

    Long Range Reticle Thread

    For hunting, I really like the reticle in my Bushnell LRHS with the 'circle of death' at 2mil as this allows great visibility and target acquisition at low power while still not too heavy at high power. For target / long range, I prefer my Minox ZP5 MR4 reticle as I find it very clean and easy...

    Help me decide which 22LR bolt action

    Pulled the trigger and picked up the CZ 457 Varmint. Awaiting picatinny rail to mount up one of my scopes and then start testing some ammo…then all the tweaks to optimize accuracy. Fun rabbit hole adventures ahead 😝

    Yes, CZ sells threaded replacement barrels. I’ll either thread existing one, do CZ replacement, or aftermarket barrel as I now have a suppressor ordered.

    7mm WSM long throating

    Given the 195g LRHT bearing surface is 0.063" longer than the 180VLDH, to keep the start of the boat tail at the same point relative to the base of the shoulder vs the 180vld with a 0.190" FB it would require the FB for the 195g to be 0.253". Seems like a lot to me especially given the 7PRC...

    That’s the ‘American’ in 20.5” barrel? LMK how ur targets look with each type of ammo variant. I think I’ve decided on doing the CZ 457 Varmint and, once my suppressor comes in, I’ll either have the barrel threaded or buy an aftermarket one.

    Help me decide which 22LR bolt action

    Wow, very nice groups. I'd be very happy if I can get that kind of accuracy in just a simple walking around rifle 👍 Are these groups using the original CZ factory barrel or an aftermarket one?

    Help me decide which 22LR bolt action

    Now you’ve got me researching the Tikka in more detail. I’m more fond of having a gorgeous wood stock for this particular rifle as more of a ‘classic’ hunting rifle so thus why I’m leaning away from the Bergara (and the Volquartsen option was one I listed but not super excited about it due to...

    Seems finding the ammo that your barrel likes is critical. Would like to get 50yd 5-shot groups consistently <0.4”. Is this reasonable without having to spend $2k+?

    Help me decide which 22LR bolt action

    Thanks Tom. This may be the route i end up going. I called CZ USA today and they shared I can order their replacement barrels where they have both the standard and match 16.5” threaded varmint contours available (could also do an aftermarket barrel).
