And @lash I apologize. I thought he had the 6-24x50 version. I lack reading comprehension. My bad, sir.Yup! And @edwardmatt83 said he bought a Midas TAC 5-25x56, this one:
Midas TAC APRS3 FFP MIL Rifle Scope | Athlon Optics
This Midas TAC 5-25x56 Model has APRS3 first focal plane MIL reticle in it. This is not just another hunting rifle scope option, but the solution!athlonoptics.com
Hey! No issue. I got it and have no beef. Just being clear.
I just picked up the same rifle also but ordered a Manners stock. I will be running the 419 rail and 30MOA base using a Bushnell DMR scope. It will almost be the same setup with my Defiance 6.5 and DMR pro in manners/419 combo.
I put my 457 at-one into a XLR element 3.0
big difference
I have the original Boyd’s stock. I just installed the Victor Company cheekrisers. Wow the really helped.
Next, I need to change LOP. I’m looking at the KRG Rimfire Bravo LOP extension and fitting it to my stock.
I’m doing this and still trying to stay in NRL 22 Base class.

I recently bought a 457 VPT with 16.5 inch barrel as a host for my incarcerated DA Mask.
My property only allows about 150 yards max so I installed the 0 MOA DIP scope rail and then an Athlon Argos BTR 6-24x50.
Just got the scope mounted this morning and haven't shot. But mounting the rifle, I have no issues with cheek weld. I thought maybe I'd need a riser but that's not the case.

I used a TBScar original 25 MOA scope rail on my VPT, with an Athlon Ares 6-24x50 in TPS TSR low rings. As you can see in the photo, there's about 3/16" clearance between the objective bell and the Shilen .854" straight cylinder bbl I put on it, which is slightly larger than the OEM 24" bbl it replaced. I'm pretty comfortable with the height of the scope with this set-up, though a thin stick-on pad wouldn't hurt anything...

Finally joined the club. Here’s my LRP. Got the cz aftermarket triggerguard on it. Vector taurus 5-25x56 with low rings. Cant wait to take it to the range!
Sweet! Are you sponsored by SK ammo? Photo from the SK team room?
Wish I was! No, its my gun room. I painted it on the wall, same with the CZ logo on another wall and Jack Daniels on the safe. in time I’m gonna place some cabinets abive the sk logo with some lights under it.

I have a CZ 457 on the way with an Area419 30MOA rail. These rails look kinda high, can I get away with a low ring with a 50mm objective? Thinking Burris XTR signature in 1" height (they call low) with my Athlon Midas Tac.
I have a 457 with the Area419 30 MOA rail. I have the Midas Tac 6-24 with the lowest rings I could find and there is still plenty of clearance.

I know that they are Warne rings. I forget which model. I’ll take a pic after I get home from work today. They were the shortest rings out of dozens I found in store.
Well, I had some DIP parts land today. I got them installed and... swapped right back to the factory parts. Maybe it's my gun but the mag release action wasn't as positive and the magazine doesn't go in with a nice positive click. Maybe there are some slight differences between the 455 and the 457 (same part for both) but they just don't play nice. Ah well, lesson learned.
The magwell is loose fitting. I found this to be advantageous as you can shim ( I use tape) the mags to tune the feed angle (reducing bullet deformation during feeding, which reduces fliers)
WTF! I bought mine last week paid €25 per mag (non-steel version) of 10 and €22 mag of 5
Bought 3 of 10 and 2 of 5.

Just sign up to be notified. They get them in every couple weeks.
Thanks but not likely they ship to Canada.Just sign up to be notified. They get them in every couple weeks.
Where did you find them? I feel like I have checked every online shop in Canada lol
I’m local to Select Shooting Supplies. Bought my MTR there too actually.
If you haven’t bought rings yet go lower that 1” here’s mine below with same 30moa 419 rail same scope as you and I wish I would’ve went .90 or closer to that height. I do like having a little more finger clearance between scope body and bolt. But lower rings still would’ve been a better deal. These are vortex pro 1” height rings

I got the rifle and am all setup for now.
Ended up using the Midas Tac and MDT High rings that I pulled off my Bergara. I have just enough clearance for the sunshade over the enclosed forend when I need it.
Anyway, here she is.
-MDT XRS w/ ARCA Forend
-Athlon Midas Tac 6-24x50
-IBI 22"
-Anarchy Outdoors Bolt Knob, Mag Release and +3rnd Mag

How do you like the MDT XRS? I have one for my Bergara B14R and I'm thinking about getting another one for my CZ457. Is the magwell easy to find?

Ha, I have one on my B14R as well, though I am selling the rifle.
I really like these XRS', this one is no different. I think they could have flared the magwell a little more but it is still pretty easy to find. I also have the AO Extended Mag Release so having that as a reference probably helps.

Out of curiosity, why are you selling it? I ask because if I were to sell one, it would definitely be the Bergara as well.
For me is kind of special circumstance. I am a C6 Quadriplegic so have little hand function.
As such I don't have much grip and the CZ being a full 2lbs lighter it makes life easier. Also, I find it easier loading the CZ mags over the B14R's. For me at least.
I do really like the Bergara but only so much room in the safe and not currently in a position to purchase another optic.

I started some ammo testing and to my surprise SK Semi Auto has been best at both 50 and 100yrd.
Both 10 round groups.

Could you post a picture of the magwell area? Is it a full size cut out or cut for the small CZ mags?

Shot my first NRL22 match the other day with this rifle and loved it.
The rifle really likes SK Match at 50 yards, but prefers Eley Target at 100 and Eley Club not far behind that. I've had good luck with some other ammo as well, but the SK and Eley I currently have more inventory of.
Older picture of the rifle below. Currently has Warne horizontal split rings, MKM throw lever and I'm waiting on a B&T pic rail and an Atlas BT65 bipod.
Played around at 200 the other day until the wind came along on the last few shots.

A good day ay the Range with my new 457 VPT. I have about 300rds down now and getting better. I shot a match Monday and had a 4385 total on 2 ARA factory targets, getting a second out of 9 shooters. Today I went to practice and shot a 4850 on 2 ARA factory targets. Here's the the 2450 target only had one touch the 100 ring. I was shooting SK Pistol match, but it shoots Std. Plus and Rifle Match about the same.
Looking for ideas on how to add some "girth" to the grip of the 457 Pro Varmint stock.
The KRG Bravo seems about perfect for me with a width of 1 7/8". The Pro Varmint measures 1 9/16".
I'd like to add some bulk to the grip without making it look horrible at the same time.

Search some apoxie sculpt moldong paste. I believe it’s also black.
Mold-‘dong’ paste? That’s black? What site am I on anyway?
