I love my 22LR Trainers @marw1920 ! I had the 527 as well, in the MTR stock, and when it worked, it was beautiful to shoot, but I had so many feeding issues I ended up selling it. Your comments on TAC-22 are interesting,, as I always seem to have flyers, so it might be the batch I have (more likely it's just me), so I'll do some more testing in future videos.

It’s a CZ457 LRP (Long Range Precision), and it’s not a huge fan of the lower priced Eley. It seems to prefer SK, which is very hard to get in Australia at the moment.

And it’s pretty nicely priced as well !

@@markfussell9313 Added bonus!!! I think I get it for £7 a box [50] here in Ireland, meanwhile my 7.62X54R eats £1.10 per round!

I think I was using GECO Rifle for this one @PT9mmWraith. Unfortunately it's not available in Australia at the moment.

@markfussell9313 I'm building a similar 457 right now but 20in barrel. Looks like geco doesn't export to US either.

Nice @PT9mmWraith. I've found each of my CZ's seem to like different ammo, but CCI Standard Velocity seems to work reasonably well with all of them, considering the price. If I need better accuracy, as opposed to just general plinking, I'll grab SK (when I can get it) or Eley, Norma's TAC-22 isn't bad either.

I did @BIGDEZUL, and it’s easy to take apart. The front rails are held on by three bolts, and the middle black section (with the MDT logo) is held on by two. From there you could paint the rear in one piece, but I undid all the bolts in the stock, and took that apart as well, so I ended up with two large rear pieces, and the two front rails for painting.

@@markfussell9313 that’s what I thought you did. Is that a rattle can job or cerakote?

@@BIGDEZUL Rust-oleum Forest Green rattle can …..

@@markfussell9313 wow. It looks great for rattle can! How’s it holding up? Did you use a primer or matte clear? Sorry for the questions!

@@BIGDEZUL I didn’t user a primer, as the texture of the XRS isn’t super smooth, so the matt finish stuck well. I think I put a matt clear coat over the top, but either way it’s held up well ! Stupidly, I repainted it in what I had hoped would be more like a FDE, but it’s too light, so I’ll be repainting it green again this weekend.

Thanks @RockyLonda-ob5so

Thanks @ykdickybill. I really need to focus on taking my time, and breathing, when shooting groups .... more of this to come at longer distances.

@@markfussell9313 I shoot at a club in York, U.K. and we are just starting to organise PRS type shooting though it’s mainly bench rest , standing and prone. I love your rifle……after much research my ideal is what you have ie the 457 LRP with the match chamber and fluted barrel in the mdt acc premier chassis. Unfortunately, in the U.K. CZ don’t offer this. They offer it in a cheaper mdt chassis that is similar to yours but with a much shorter forend without the built in arca and with an AR15 style backend that they market as the ‘457 MDT’ which is not for me. I really want the ACC premier chassis…..££££££

Same here in Australia, @ykdickybill. I had to buy the LRP and the MDT ACC chassis separately. It's pricey, but it's worth it !

Yes, he needs a little training.

Probably more me than the wind @rustynut1967, but thank you.

@propionic0157 it's a 16in

@@markfussell9313 ahh yes the tactical have a shorter barrel than the others like varmint. thx :)

I'll keep that in mind if I ask him to spot again @paulargent1003 LOL.

Thanks @kahn_wang

This was at 50m @Mophonic

@@markfussell9313 ok, but isnt the video title missleading then ?

@@Mophonic the rifle is a CZ457 Long Range Precision …

@@markfussell9313 Ah, yea seems right, but on the CZ Arms site it just says LRP Black. ok got it...but can you tell me though how far does it shoot accurate ?

@Mophonic, I've had it hitting 50cmx50cm thin steel targets at 500m ... a lot of that was probably luck, but it certainly has the ability to get there reasonable consistently.

I even adjusted the sights at one point, and made it even worse LOL

Thanks @clarson2916.

Thanks @anatolipetrosyants2196. It's the first generation Pro Varmint Tactical, (purchased in 2019) which came with a wooden stock with the black textured paint. It's running the standard 16 inch heavy varmint barrel, and either sits in the MDT XRS chassis (like it is in this video), or the MDT LSS-RF Gen 2 chassis. For a shorty it shoots really well, and is probably my most fun rifle to shoot !

Thank you very much, I really appreciate it! I Like MDT chassis, but my headache is what to choose: 16 or 20 inch? 😂. I want to try tuners, but I read that for 16 inch, it will not produce any results. Did you try tuners on short barrels? Sorry for asking questions out of the video.

I haven't tried tuners on any of my barrels, @anatolipetrosyants2196, but if I was going to, it would be on the 20 inch, as I think (certainly not proven though) that the 16 inch might be a bit short and thick for it to have any effect. Those that I know have them (there are a couple at the range) are running the longer barrels.

Understood. I wonder if a 16-inch barrel can cover a distance of 150 meters as effectively as a 20-inch barrel. I'll continue my research. Thank you again for your help!

I'm heading to the range this weekend, @anatolipetrosyants2196, so I'll do a video on it, with both rifles using the same ammo, starting at 50m, then 100m, 150m and finally 200m, and see what results I get.

Thank for the tip, @MatteoSaverioGrasso, I'll pass that onto the owner, as I was just borrowing it.

Very jealous @scottorgan2255 !!

What scope and mount are you using for the number 1? I’m in the same situation as you. Just can’t see the sights like I used to.

@johnclark1925, very valid feedback, and something I should have taken him through before we started. With the way I was shooting, I don't think it would have made much of a difference though.

It's pretty accurate at longer distances as well !

Not all his fault, I could have been more specific before we started as to what I needed, but that being said, I was shooting that badly I don't think it would have made much of a difference to the result.

@@markfussell9313 ... fair comment.

It certainly is a lot cheaper, and easier to find at the moment as well !!

Thanks ! It is one of my favourites !

Me too ! It's so much nicer than riding in the heat !!

No @romanbartkiv2826, this is the full size short action. I have a Mini Action, but in 6.5 Grendel.

You probably could go bird hunting with this one, or rabbits, varmints etc. The size and weight would make it very easy to use in that environment.

I find with the 22LR the longer barrel gives you a little more consistency at further distances, but at shorter ranges, the 16in barrel is a laser !

Спасибо

пожалуйста (hopefully got that right).

@@markfussell9313 в России такой не достать cz

To be honest, with the way I was shooting, I don’t think it would have made a difference, but yes, I need to work with my trusty assistant on his spotting calls.

The HMR has a good crack to it ...

It’s now my go to @L.V-Rider, plus it’s easy to get, and easy on the wallet.

i have found my MTR like tac 22 better than cci sv. not by much though! tac22 is just a bit more consistent in my experience.

I'll have to do a comparison when I get my hands on some more Tac22 @nelsonm5032.

@@markfussell9313 I'd Try RWS Rifle match , or SK Rifle match both work great on my 457 varmint on 100m ~ around 1 moa or less. soon I'll get a barrel tuner to see if i can manage to tighten the groups (Y)

My CZ doesn't like it either. Could be a bad lot though.

Hi @seanjager8389, it's a MDT XRS, with the CZ457 inlet, which was oringally all black, but I took it apart and spray painted it. I think the colour was Rust-Oleum Camo Forest Green.

Thanks @L.V-Rider. I'll try Velocitor when I do the rerun. It'll be interesting to see the difference between that, and SK Long Range Match.

Hi @pitts3219, thanks for the feedback, and really appreciate it ! I'm still working out the whole recording/editing thing, so will definitely incorporate this going forwards !!

Thanks L.V-Rider. Check out "The Road to 500" series if you're looking for long range shooting with that rifle.

Thanks @phil4986, appreciate it.

@JM_BoltActionGunStuff .... in the early videos I was running GEGO Match, but as this is no longer available, I've been using GECO Rifle, when I can get it.

Thank you !

Hi @stephendockray6698, I wish it was, but in Australia suppressors are not available for everyday shooters, so this is an enclosed muzzle brake (I think they're called a blast can in the US), which pushes the sound forward. It makes it a little quieter, but I just think it looks good on the short 16in barrel.

Hi @stephendockray6698 ... The bipod is my go to, being the Accu-Tac SR5 Gen2. It's the Pic Rail version, but as I'm running Arca rails, either as attachments or built in (on the ACC's) I'm using a Manael Pic to Arca adapter. For the muzzle brake, this is a Radial Muzzle Brake from Muzzle Brakes Australia.

Bit hard to show groups on a steel target @NeilNork, but feel free to check out some of the other videos on the channel if that's what you're after.

Thank you ! The LRP has the standrd 20inch MTR fluted barrel. I've tried putting my 16inch CZ457 in the ACC, and the barrel is too short to make it past the end of the chassis. The MDT XRS chassis for the CZ457 works for any barrel length (I have a 16in in one), as does the MDT LSS-RF. Hope this helps !

Hi @chase7354, the distance is 500m, but the actual range is Main Range 1 at the Sporting Shooters Association Australia Eagle Park Range in Little River, Victoria.

@@markfussell9313 nice

Glad you enjoyed it @TMFShooting !

Hi @bluecollarsportsman613, unfortunately in Australia suppressors are not available for the everyday shooter, so on the front I have an enclosed muzzle brake, which directs the sound forward, making it a little quieter, but mainly its for looks, and to ensure the barrel is longer than the chassis it's in.

@@markfussell9313 Thank you, That should work for my purpose as well as it's the same. LOL

Hi @ledeni012, glad you enjoyed it. I will definitely redo the series, or at least the 300m plus targets, but it won't be until the new year, as the range I use closes next week. In your video, what scope camera were you using ?

@@markfussell9313 This is a simple sideshot system with a phone, but my recommendation is a sideshot with gopro camera or even better something like a triggercam. This is quite cumbersome, and the quality of the video depends a lot on the quality of the phone's camera. czcams.com/video/UDR_0DJoMLA/video.html

Hi @jamesforrest8191, I don't. I know the extended release would probably make life easier, but I don't find it that difficult to release the magazine using the standard release. If I was competing, and needed to do magazine changes under a time constraint, I would think about getting it.

Hi @baileymoto, at 300m the target is 300mm, and at 350m that target is 350mm.

Thanks @22lr_plinking.

Hi @whysocurious7649, the scope is a Vortex Diamondback Tactical 6-24x50, and the ammo was GECO Rifle.

@@markfussell9313 Thank you Marcus!
