Sooooo, do I want a 21" or 23" barrel?

[TheGerman]

Said screw it and am ordering a Lilja for the CZ455. The nice lady I was dealing with gave me these options:

CZ455 22LR .900"x21"

CZ455 22LR .900"x23" "Unfinished"

CZ455 22LR Varmint taper:.900"st taper .630"@21"

CZ455 22LR Varmint taper: 900"st taper .630" @23"

CZ455 22LR Varmint taper:.900"st taper .630"@23" "Unfinished"


I am wanting the bull barrel/straight taper .900 (I am also wondering if the extra .030 between the CZ barrel and Lilja will fit in the Manners T4 channel); question is, do I want 21 or 23 - does it make a difference? If all things are the same, I'd go shorter.

My vote is for the 0.90 inch bull barrel, 21 inches long.
It'll drop right into the CZ Manners T4 with no problems.
According to Lilja's test data, no difference in accuracy
between the 21 and 23 inch barrels.

Pretty sure the only length offered for the 455
is the drop-in ready 21 inch barrels.

TheGerman isn't Patty awesome? Go for the 21" version in straight .900". It should drop right in but won't be hard if a little material needs to be removed from the channel.

Yep. Was on backorder for a whole 2 days and then she said they pulled the barrel right out of finishing and called me.
