    CZ 457 Lilja varmint 21" barrel

    If anyone has any direct knowledge of the current drop in 21" Varmint Lilja barrel I would appreciate your experiences with it. I see on their website that they are now listing the chamber as a Lilja 2 and I would also appreciate any information as to that chamber - likes or dislikes. The...

    CZ 457

    Had a few minutes before the rains came this morning and shot (Only) 2 bulls each on 3 targets trying out test lots of SK Standard Plus. One lot was not good - one was fair and one shot the two groups I am posting. Still trying to figure out how to use Range Buddy (without reading the...

    Threading the CZ 457 action

    A question as to benefits of threading the action on the 457. Would doing so be of any "real" benefit or just a solution to a non existent (perceived/possible) problem of loose fitment or stress induced by the grubb screws....?

    Tikka T1X

    Obviously left on the vine after being marked at 16.5 and continued to grown to its present length..... If it was a coin it would be valuable as a mis-mark.

    CZ 457 2-stage trigger

    Agreed. The only major thing, IMO, that the 2 stage would benefit ME is shooting Smallbore Silhouette where the rules book calls for a 2# minimum on trigger pull. A heavier first stage with a light 2nd stage helps you at the line. I have my 457 trigger at ~8oz and it is nice and smooth.

    CZ 457 2-stage trigger

    Nice to see someone with a pride of product to refuse to bring the product to market if it does not perform to their standards. Bravo and keep working on it.

    CZ 457 lock time

    Anyone know what the lock time is for a 457. Came up in a conversation today with a friend "stating" that the lock time in the 457 action is faster than any of the R700 style actions. I am thinking he knows not what of he speaks but have no data to support his - or my thoughts. Anyone?

    Ballistic coefficient cci standard velocity help

    Nope... Not directed at you at all. Your charts are very interesting and easy to navigate. Just what I said - nothing more. I can look at a centerfire bullet and "see" that there is a considerable and visible difference in the bullets shape from high BC and low BC bullets and I am just not...

    Tikka T1X

    Yes Sir. 50/50 vinegar/hydrogen peroxide will also de-rust ... and de-blue a gun pretty effectively. At least now you don't have to worry about the finish being affected if it is already damaged.

    Tikka T1X

    Try Bore Tech C4 Carbon Remover Bore Cleaning Solvent Liquid Midway has it.... Set the gun upside down in a cap or something deep enough o cover the carboned up area. It's not instant but it works.

    Annie 54 Sporter scope for <$250

    From 6.89 Chinese knockoff to 300.00 (you name it) rings. I spent 50.00 on my Vortex rings and find them totally satisfactory. Buy a 10.00 set of lows and mediums and then when you get your cheek weld and your height correct invest in a decent set. Also look at strapon little cheek pads to fit...

    Annie 54 Sporter scope for <$250

    Oops. Did not realize the SWFA 3-15 SFP was out of the price range you specified.... Perhaps a Vortex or Athlon and a set of Med 11 mm rings - for whatever tube diameter you end up with.. You might look in the Scope Forum here....or just go to Midway and look to see whats in your price range...
