16.5 or 20.5 CZ 455

[PLX65]

I am going to buy a CZ 455 Percision trainer but not sure whether to get the 16.5 inch or the 20.5 inch barrel. I plan to shoot some local matches and Plinking.

16.5” is stiffer and gets plenty of velocity

The only reason I’d go longer would be a longer sight radius if using irons.

Mine started as a 20.5” and lost 4” prior to muzzle threading...

I have the 16.5” barrel and it is really accurate. I read somewhere that all the powder is burned up in first 12” or so.

Here’s a picture of mine so you have an idea what it looks like with scope and bipod. Keep in mind mine has a Sightron SIII 10-50x60 so it’s a massive scope.

Can’t go wrong with either in my opinion I don’t think the 20.5” is threaded but the 16.5” is if you decide to use a suppressor.

I ordered a 20.5 with the thought I could have it cut down if I wanted. It’s easier to make it shorter than longer.

Congrats on the purchase ??

Let us know how you like the balance of your new rifle.

Picked up new stick my initial impression is wow nice piece. My 419 base and pic rail are on the way. Looking forward to getting to the range.

I went with the 20" when I got my CZ. The balance seemed better and I've been really pleased with it. Congrats on the purchase!

I have a suppressor in jail so I will either have to get the 20" threaded or buy a 16.5 already threaded.
