That is one fine shooting rifle. But man is it ugly as sin. lol Awesome job on chronicling the growth and changes.

Re: My CZ's Life Story

22lr at 500yds! That is awesome. I've never even thought of attempting that. I'll be giving that a try soon.

Re: My CZ's Life Story

Can you even call impacts at that distance if they are not on the steel?

Most of the time you can see it hit in the dirt. its easy to tell when ya hit steel. Makes a good Sound and i use light steel so it moves

Dont know if you have seen any of my videos... but here is the last one i did

Re: My CZ's Life Story

Very cool pics and video. CZ's are a nice rifle.

Re: My CZ's Life Story

Shot with Curtis and Chris today. We all had a great time. That little CZ will consistantly hit 500yds with no problem, and yes you can see the splash when you miss. My Savage MK2 TR did it with no problems too.
If you haven't shot to 500yds with a .22 you need to try it its a great challenge and a hell of a lot of fun.

Re: My CZ's Life Story

Nice shooting!

 

[clayne_b]

Re: My CZ's Life Story

Thank you sir

 

[GotCox]

Re: My CZ's Life Story

Very nice shooting dude. That is one fine shooting rifle. I gotta ask what was the purpose of the stock mod? Add weight? Or add LOP? Or both?

 

[sscoyote]

Re: My CZ's Life Story

Nice life history Clayne--well done sir.

 

[clayne_b]

Re: My CZ's Life Story

Added an inch to the Length Of Pull. And a much better cheek rest, being that the scope is so high... There was some added weight once it was all done. but l think it helped balance out the rifle alot better. its balanced where i put my hand for shooting off hand

Edit
Oh yeah and i wanted the butt stock to be flat where it sits on a bag...

Sounds good. Looks like you got the function out of it you were looking for. I for one agree that how my rifles function is more important than how they look. And after looking over your targets and video's i ask anyone to argue your rifle doesn't function very well.

Re: My CZ's Life Story

Its a Keeper for sure!

Re: My CZ's Life Story

I bought a CZ452 lux one month ago.

first shooting out of the box: ten rounds in 1 inch at 50 meters(55 yards) with the iron sight and semi-crap CCI standard. this with the stock trigger. I was amazed

now i've modified pull weight and creep, and started to put equipment on it. CZ really kick ass with the quality of their products.
I'm very likely to keep this little baby for a long time.

Re: My CZ's Life Story

I got a lux for my dad a few years ago for his birthday. He really likes it.. and so do I. We have an understanding that if he decides to sell it I get it back... ha ha

Re: My CZ's Life Story

Update on the CZ

It Got a new Stock

Re: My CZ's Life Story

Nice

Re: My CZ's Life Story

If this is the same rifle, you removed the VGM mount? Just wondering why you decided to go different if this is the case.

 

[clayne_b]

Re: My CZ's Life Story

It is the same rifle, I still have the mount and will be putting it back on. I took it off to shoot in a match last month. I took it off because the match was only out to 100 yards.

 

[Situation Normal]

Re: My CZ's Life Story

Was that match the "cheapskate", and will you be there next weekend with this scout?

 

[clayne_b]

Re: My CZ's Life Story

Yes it was the Cheapskate Match, and yes i will be at the next one

Re: My CZ's Life Story

What a big surprise it was to open my birthday present from my wife! It was a STOCK from Denny!!! I had mentioned it to her months back that i wanted one.. how did she contact or even know of Denny? She went to my good friend and neighbor/shooting buddy. and asked him if he knew anything of it. I had sent him an email/forward of the parts and stuff that Denny sells a while back. So he contacted him. And made it happen... What a big smile on my face i had when i opened it!!!

Re: My CZ's Life Story

I liked the Frankenstein setup better.

[clayne_b]

Re: My CZ's Life Story

Yeah this little gun has a few videos on youtube

Very nice dude!!! I know function was fine with the other stock and you had made it work well, but now it looks very nice and that stock should give you the same function. You sir have a great wife and shooting buddie! Congrats.

 

[11B-B4]

Re: My CZ's Life Story

I never understand it when guys say, oh my wife bought me a nightforce, or this new stock, or this XYZ (cool piece of kit)

My wife rolls her eyes whenever she sees me with guns.

Shes a conservative through and through, or i would have kicked her to the curb. But she could give a shit less about my gun addiction.

oh well

 

[clayne_b]

Re: My CZ's Life Story

I have been neglecting updating the life story of the CZ scout. so here it is

1. Did a Yo Dave trigger kit. set at 5-6 oz.

2. Did a quick bedding job

3. Got a differnt scope. SWFA SS 16x MQ

Every thing seems to be paying off. I took 1st place in the last match.

Now i just need to get out and try some long range shooting again!!
