Those of you with a 457 in a krg bravo what do you have your action screws torqued at? Chassis manual said to do 45 pounds and that's what I installed it at. Worth it to play around with the torque settings?

Mine also. Did you ever find a solution?I have a failure to eject on the last round every time with my 457.
It has to be my mags, as it does not do it with a 5 rounder.Mine also. Did you ever find a solution?
I never use my 5 rounder and didn’t think to check It earlier. It ejects the last round just fine. When comparing my 10 and 5 rounders I see the back half of the follower sits lower on the 10’s and allows the last empty to fall out of the extractor. I will look into seeing if they all three are backwards. I have never had them apart. I hope it’s that simple. Thanks for the help guys.It has to be my mags, as it does not do it with a 5 rounder.
Thanks for the help.Regarding 10 end mag feeding isues:
Here's one link
And another
457 feed issue
I did a search but didn't find what I was looking for. First time out with my 457 MTR. Very frustrating, I couldn't get 2 rounds to feed one after the other. It looks like the bolt is going over the rim and contacting the round in the middle of the case. I ruined several rounds of good match...www.rimfirecentral.com
Both discuss the follower being backwards, one on a brand new factory packaged 10 rounder.
Worth checking
Hope it's as simple as this

Edit: for clarity (I hope)
Take careful note as you go up in the higher torque...my action started to not cycle so well.

What did you torque yours to?Take careful note as you go up in the higher torque...my action started to not cycle so well. I'm using a MDT LSS RF chassis.
So just an update. The mag issue has resolved itself. Apparently in a moment of stupidity I torqued the rear action screw all the way down (25 in/lbs) before the front one and it got something cattywampused. Today I snugged both screws a bit before tightening them completely and the mags pop in smooth as butter! Just an FYI.Broke down and grabbed a DIP aluminum magwell (backordered) and aluminum magwell block. Not thrilled with the plastic versions that come from the factory. Took them out once (made it easier to get at the hole the YoDave spring sits in) and and now the magazines don't pop in as easily. Not the end of the world and It might just be me being hyper critical but I like the idea of metal parts in my rifles...
I think I was at 50-55...stupid me.What did you torque yours to?
None of the followers in my 10 round mags were in backwards. Going to wait until I can get a spare extractor, holder and extractor spring before I start doing anything to them.Thanks for the help.
Chassis or new stock.What is everyone doing to make a longer length of pull?
I’m trying to run NRL 22 Base Class. Could it be as simple as buying some KRG spacers and stacking them?Chassis or new stock.
I have the Varmint Precision Chassis. Did you snug the set screw after you adjusted the length of pull? Small set screw on the left side that snugs the Luth to the buffer tube. It’s not very obvious. If I remember right, I stumbled across it while I was on Luth’s web page seeing what verson of butt stock it was. Mine didn’t have any wiggle after I did that.Anybody here with the chassis version replaced the luth ar with a different rear? If so what? The bottom of the luth wiggles in the bags. It is never still
I forgot about that screw. I will tighten ans give a retry when my mag well block gets here. Thanks for the reminder.I have the Varmint Precision Chassis.

Area 419 15MOA should be fine, I have that rail and shoot out to 200m without issue except tight groups of course.Evening gents,
Need some sage advice. Time to get the CZ up and running so I ordered a Midas TAC and some Vortex Precision low rings. I plan on using it for target shooting (might try the base class thing I keep reading about ) but I will also use it to lay waste to the squirrels that are infesting my bird feeder and possible my attic (No I won't be shooting them in the attic) so I wanted to ask what base ya'll suggest. The bird feed is 15 to 20 yards away and I'm not sure what the max distance is in competition. Planning on going with a BScar or an Area 419. Do y'all suggest 15MOA or 30/35MOA base. Thank you for the help and putting up with the stupid question!
Area 419 15MOA should be fine, I have that rail and shoot out to 200m without issue except tight groups of course.
I plan to buy the 419 rail. However right now I have the Midas Tac on Warne medium rings and I can reach 200 yards without holding over, just dialing. That is about the limit though.Area 419 15MOA should be fine, I have that rail and shoot out to 200m without issue except tight groups of course.
I sent Bill an email a little while ago and he said it would be around June before they are ready.I'm on the waitlist for his 457 2-stage trigger.
I bought the same exact rifle and Area 419 rail. I’m just waiting on the rifle to get shipped. I’ve had trouble finding 10 round mags for it actually in stock anywhere and have to yet order an atlas bipod rail for it. I’ve been admiring these for quite a while and then got to shoot one during a match in March. That sealed the deal for me.I joined the club finally. I’ve wanted or for a while now, but couldn’t justify it. Ammo prices finally broke me. Cz 457 mtr varmint, area 419 30 moa rail, area 419 bolt knob, yodave trigger spring, atlas bipod rail and bipod, seekins med rings, Burris xtr ii 5-25 mil. Taking it out today. Scope isn’t ideal for nrl22, but should get me shooting. View attachment 7605710
I have not been able to find any 10 round mags either. But I need too.I bought the same exact rifle and Area 419 rail. I’m just waiting on the rifle to get shipped.

Nice looking rifle! Let us know how well that SK Standard Plus shoots in it.Finally getting back into 22lr after selling my beater Savage MK II FV-SR earlier in the year. Bought a CZ 457 pro varmint and it feels infinitely better than the MK II did. Was going to keep it in the factory stock but changed my mind and ordered an MPA to try out. Threw on an Area 419 30moa base and bolt handle. I think my NX8 finally found it's forever home on top of this rifle as well. Finally found some used 10 round mags online the other day, so those will make my life a little easier. The 5 round mags don't work with the MPA mag funnel installed. Had to pull it out to shoot in the mean time. Hoping I can do some actual groupings once a calm day rolls by. Winds have been all over the place lately.

Not 22 specific, but iirc, my TT Specials and Tikka T3x are set to 1.5lbs, which allows for me to marry up to it for a shot even with cold fingers and winter gloves on. I can't get my CZ trigger below 2lbs, but it's close enough to my TT specials for now.So a dumb question for the the .22 gurus. IF you had a one rifle to do it all as in bust fluff rats, plinking at the range, and MAYBE trying a PRS22 match this summer what kind of pull weight would you set the factory trigger at. Obviously the BScar 2-stage is going in as soon as it is avaiable but in the mean time?
Well, it depends a bit on which rail you are using. For example, the Area 419 rail is almost 1/2” tall. That means that you can typically get by with low rings.Just ordered an Athlon Midas Tac 5-25x56 scope for my 457 varmint...any suggestions on rings? What height should I go with? It's in a KRG Bravo chassis.
BSCAR 25 MOA rail is what I have on the rifle.Well, it depends a bit on which rail you are using. For example, the Area 419 rail is almost 1/2” tall. That means that you can typically get by with low rings.
The standard height 25 moa rail or the extra height moa rail? See what I mean? The stand height BSCAR rail sets 1/4” off the top of your barrel and the extra height rail adds 5/64” to that for a total of 21/64” off.BSCAR 25 MOA rail is what I have on the rifle.

Thank you, gents. With the stock spring and BScar's replace pin I can get down to 1.25lbs easy enough but I have it breaking at 1.5lbs just like my other rifles. May turn it up to 2 just because it just feels so lite. Maybe I'm not a fan of single stage triggersi use 2lbs on all my rifles, which spend more time in the field than on a bench.
gotta say i love my Pro Varmint 12x Super Sniper and SK Std
