I have been kicking around the idea of a 22 Production build. I am thinking a CZ 457 AT-ONE with a DNT TheOne scope. What seems to be the go to for rifle and scope for this division?
New PRS 22 production division build ideas

I’d definitely go with the DNT scope. Never heard anyone say “I have too much scope”. lol The glass is excellent for the price point and it has a good reticle. MSRP is $699.
As to the rifle, that would come down to what you like and what would be under $900 MSRP. Both the At One and MTR are under $900 MSRP so either will work depending on your needs and barrel length you want.

The Bushnell Match Pro ED is a good scope for the money. Might be close to the limit depending on the rifle however. Nice reticle. I don't love the turret clicks though, bit mushy.
Didn't realize the DNT would make it under the price cap, a better option for sure if it does...
Didn't mean to imply it's an issue, I run an xtr pro 5.5x30 on mine...but never crank it past 15x in a match. Didn't think the DNT would make msrp, and somebody new to the game can get in trouble quickly using too much available magnification...eye relief, eye box, fov and dof will all be better the lower the magnification.
No worries, I agree with the range use assessment, I am normally between 5-18
I will say the extra magnification on a stationary KYL stage comes in quite handy
I just want to be sure a Cz mtr and dnt scope will meet under the 1600? Are you allowed to add an arca rail?
I bought a 457 mtr and an Arken EP5 for Christmas as a base class rifle build. MSRP was $849 and $599 according to both manufacturers in December. Now CZ has the rifle at $899 and Arken has the EP5 at $630 so my base class rifle is now open in NRL22 but not in PRS. I'm not sure if the 12 month grace period thing works out for me or not but I'm looking for a $30 cheaper MSRP scope.
Correct, because they are mounted to the rail. you can not cut your stock to mount the rail but you can drill mounting holes. I sent an email to NRL22 support about that to clarify and they said that sanding the bottom of the stock to make it flat before screwing a rail on would make it an open class gun. while it is ok to bed your action, I would recommend against bedding any t-nuts you use to mount your arca rail so that if you were ever questioned at a match(i think this only happens if you win a big one) you could take it apart and show that you are within the rules.
I chose to run a Foundation universal brass arca rail on my CZ 457 MTR, it was heavier than most of the weighted aluminum rails because it is solid brass and it was a little longer than many of the steel rails but also being a bit more normal width than the DST Da Rail, also it was in stock when I wanted to build a rifle.
you have to go by MSRP, not MAP
which is $839.99 per the Arken website
DNT would be $699.99
edit, so you would be good with an MTR and a DNT
Where do you find $839.99? I've for the EP5 5-25x56 mil vpr fwiw.
Also the DNT is too expensive. Has to be 600 MSRP or less to make it into NRL base class, the DNT could make PRS rimfire production class though
Sorry I was looking at the 7-35 EP5, which is what I ran at nationals
if you want to shoot an MTR in base and production, you'll be either running the SH4 or the old Bushnell match pro
It's just annoying that in December my build qualified for base class with the 2025 rules and both msrp's went up so now it's out. If either one had stayed the same then I would be able to run my setup.
I've got a 4-16x44 diamondback tactical I can run until I decide to snag something else.
