Finally got around to picking up a CZ….
It sends them where you aim it.

Got the L3i bottom metal in and installed yesterday. Definitely a nice piece.
Turned out the original magwell from the VMTR was starting to break apart so perfect timing. Seemed like a really odd place for it to start breaking, but glad I caught it before it got too bad.
Install went smooth and I'm very happy with the quality. Also glad I won't have to worry about it breaking in the future.
Got everything back into the stock and feels solid.

I have the shorty one and 10/10 recommend it: https://grayopscnc.com/collections/arca/products/bag-stop-shorty-arca-mount
Next on my list of things to get, maybe not exactly next...the list never seems to end !
Kind of a specific question but what drag function are you guys using for your ammo in your ballistics app? I'm currently using G1 with SK standard plus but I've heard some people using G7 or the RA4. Am I overthinking?
I have pretty good DOPE for up to 100yds since that's really all that we shoot for NRL22 but I'd like to get DOPE out to 200-250. I'm on my last box of the same lot so next order will be a new lot number.
My magwell has failed twice in that specific location as well
G7 form factor is based on a boattail bullet while G1 is based on a flat base artillery shell. G1 should fit and model a 22LR better than G7. Just saying.

When I used Strelok I used RA4. I did have to true the results to get almost perfect 200 and 300 dope.
.145 G1 for Center-X for me is near perfect out to 250 yards. I was really excited to see developments with RA4 &/or whatever Litz is working on, but this is better than any G1/G7/AB curve with or without truing I've ever had for 22LR so I'm not changing until it's broken.
Before and after pic of my MTR!
I stripped all the finish off with citri strip.
Wet sanded it with 600 and used the wet slurry to fill the pores in the stock.
I used tru oil and rubbed it in with my fingers. Let it dry over night, hit it with 0000 steel wool and rubbed another coat on it.
I needed up going with 5 coats. Sanding with steel wool in between every coat.
Depends if you're just plinking or shooting matches. For matches, the longer barrel and no suppressor. For plinking, suppressors are fun as hell.
I target shoot at home . I have 1000 yard range and I will want to stretch the rimfire out a little and being heavier doesn’t bother me . I just didn’t know if barrel length changed velocity like it does with the center fire stuff
A heavier barrel will definitely help since you're gonna be shooting that kind of distance. You could always go for the shorter threaded barrel and get a different barrel later. It's only two grub screws to replace the barrel.
Oh easy barrel change I like that . Thanks for the input . So the longer barrels only added benefit is the weight? Like I said I have had 22s my whole life but never a nice one and I have never paid attention to the nuances of rimfire
With 22 LR barrel lenghts over 18 inches or so actually slow the bullet down, you will loose muzzle velocity. But it have shown for many manufacturers and gun smiths that it's beneficial for accuracy, hence why many precision 22's are around 20 - 22 inches.
Lots more to it, but that's what I've learned reading and listening to the 'big names' in the rimfire world.
Yeah, I wish they had an option in the middle somewhere
If you're going to run the suppressor, then get the shorter barrel.
And also buy the new barrel that L3i just introduced for when you're shooting without the can.

All this shooting without a can talk is blasphemy
I don’t know .. I like to drink beer and ring steel some people don’t like that
Do anyone know specifics about CZ's 'accuracy guarantee' on the MTR?
They claim
'15 mm groups at a distance of 50 m'
But I haven't managed to find any info about what ammunition they use, or if there's any form of return policy if your specific rifle doesn't manage that standard...

Pulled my 457 out of the safe after several years of squatting. Getting it ready for my range to start Extreme Long Range Rimfire-300 to 500 yards. Made a few mods to it. MDT 50 moa base, MDT bipod, Anarchy Dragon Scale bolt knob, JARD trigger set at 3.5 ozs, and DiscoverOPT 5-25 MRAD FFP scope. Tested at 50 yards with SK Rifle Match. 5 shot group. We shall see if this old dog will hunt soon.
I did email CZ-Usa and this was the response.Do anyone know specifics about CZ's 'accuracy guarantee' on the MTR?
