So I’m considering buying a cz 457 precision trainer with manners stock. I plan on replacing the barrel with a proof carbon fiber. The rifle alone can be had for around $1000.

i seen today that cz is releasing a precision trainer mtr with match chamber for around $1280 street price. I would also replace that barrel with the proof

My question is—- do I fork out the extra for the mtr because of the match chamber or will that not matter because I intend on replacing the barrel anyway?

sorry for the noob question. I’m still new to this. Thanks!
 
id try and find a used 457 precision trainer since you plan to replace the barrel anyways

absolutely zero reason to spend more than you have to if you're gonna get a new barrel anyways

I shoot a cz455 that has its factory threaded 16" barrel as my trainer (swfa 10x ss glass). You're obviously going to get better performance out of a proof. I'm just here to remind you to buy and shoot high quality rimfire ammo. I'm able to squeeze out 1-2" groups 100 yards with my factory barrel and plinker ammo. With CCI 40gr subsonics, I can do 0.8-1" at 100 yards with the same factory barrel. I bet I could make better groups with a better barrel, scope, trigger, and ammo, but I also feel I'm getting my reps and training in at the cost of lower resolution data.
