CZ 457 VS TIKKA T1X - WHICH ONE IS BEST??

- The Tikka T1X and the CZ 457 are two of the better quality, mid priced bolt action 22's on the market. You see both models in competition and both are extremely accurate and well built. But which one is better? I'll give you my thoughts after 100's of rounds through both of these fine rifles.

Great video. I have had a Tikka T1x for several months. My Daughter and I shoot ARA Bench Rest and my daughter has shot a perfect 2500 score and was #1 junior shooter for 2020. The Tikka has shot many perfect scores in the ARA matches. I purchased a CZ457 AT-ONE and it so far has been shooting well for me. I like the extra weight over the Tikka.
Fords and Chevys people are going to like one more then the other . I like everything that goes bang 😜 thanks for your video.
I agree with you. I just got the long bbl chassis version of the 457, and found the same results for ammo.
Thanks for the review...I have the 455 lux. and now considering the 457 varmint (.22 Mag) I love CZ rifles because of the wood and blued steel. Its hard to find now days!
Good review! My 457 varmint is my favorite .22 next to the 457 American, which is also a fine rifle but much more finicky when it comes to the ammo used. The varmint version seems to do well with various makes of ammo, the American version not much. They are both fine bolt guns which have my attention now as compared to the auto loaders.
An honest and fair review. Thank you from the UK.
You're welcome.
Great review and comparison, just business - no water. Thank you sir!
My absolute favorite gun in my collection is my cz 457 American synthetic suppressor ready. I love it so much I treated it to a Boyds at one stock a couple weeks back and omg its as beautiful now as it was awesome before. Oh an it LOVES aguila ammo which is cheap and makes me very happy.
Good review! Thanks! I have the CZ 455 & love it. Have you seen any appreciable accuracy improvement in the 457 over the 455?
Now this is a proper man’s test comparing two real contenders. Had to make this choice approx. Nov 2019. I ended up going for the CZ - the fit and finish just edged it for me (despite me already owning tikka .17HMR). Wouldn’t swap either of them for anything - phenomenal accuracy. CZ in .22lr gave me (a muppet) an out and out kill shot on a bunny at 104m
Thanks man.
Good review. Which one shot CCI SV the best at 100 yds?
I just purchased a tikka and had a question, did you remove the plastic barrel support that screws in the barrel channel? I have always shot floating barrels and could see where that could be a issue. What’s your thoughts on it? Thank you for the video
Great review, thank you very much. My dad taught me to shoot with a Winchester 63 that I'll also hand down to my son. I have a nice 1022 and an old Marlin 883 bolt action. The Marlin is accurate but the trigger is horrendous even though a Mcarbo trigger spring helped some. It's time for a new one when your range buddy asks "how do you shoot this thing" after he put 10 rounds down the smoke pole; he shoots a CZ 452. So this is where I'm at which led me to your informative video. I'm a wood and steel man but at my age with some health conditions need a light accurate .22 b/a so I will not discount a synthetic stock.
After watching your video am leaning towards the CZ457 provided I can find one that's light enough with optics to be comfortable with whether walking around our place or shooting bench rest at the private range. I realize better performance is gained through premium ammo but will either/both shoot plain old off the shelf bulk ammo without harm to the rifle? Thanks again.
Yes they will shoot any ordinary ammo. But I’ve noticed a huge difference with just cci standard velocity and the reason is because once you go supersonic with .22 it will throw off the bullet. I’m not an expert by any means just a hobby but once you get some better ammo it makes all the difference
@@HorsepowerHub Thanks for that and you are correct. I finally located some CCI SV and it groups so much better @ 50 yrds. than HV rounds, it's a difference of day and night. The bad news is now having an abundance of HV ammo that can only be used accurately @ 25 yrds. rather than @ 50. The next problem is finding either the CZ or Tikka, my s-i-l's brother owns a gun shop and has had no luck finding either the T1x or 457 varmint. Maybe 2022 will be a better year for in stock inventories.
Sorry, may I please ask the specifics of the two scopes mounted on each rifle - Tikka T1X and CZ 457? You mentioned the make but not the models. Also, why the specific choice in these two scopes? Thanks!
The scope on the Tikka looks like a vortex diamondback tactical. I run one on my cz. Great for the price tag
Good. Honest review thanks.
Hey mate, looking at both of these along with the Lithgow la101 22 do you know anyone that runs with that rifle and how it compares? Thank for you insight on these 2 as well. 👍
After years of cz ownership,from the 452,455 and now 457 IMHO they are built like tanks!
Superb accuracy out to 200 y and beyond!
The only mod I do to pre 457 is a simple trigger spring!
I just love the caliber change available on the cz 455\457 also you can fit different length & style of barrels & lilja ones!
Only thing I'm not crazy about on the tikka is the wire, paper clip like shell ejector,oh and plastic parts!
The ejector on czs are more robust,steel trigger guard and parts and magazines available everywhere!
Tikkas shoot well but czs are heirloom rifles, never had a bad one and I've had a lot of czs in my time!
FINNS WON'T MAKE ANYTHING BAD, THE TIKKA IS GOING TO BE AS DURABLE AS THE CZ!!😉👉
Thanks for the video and information
Thank you kindly sir :)
How about cz 457 jaguar? Is it any good?
I'd love a comparison to the Savage mk2 FV heavy barrel. I know people that have had exceptional accuracy from the Savages.
Thanks man... Nice tools 👍
I have both CZ and Tikka and they are both EXCELLENT rifles. You can't go wrong with either choice, they are SUPERIOR rifles for their price range and beyond with the exception of a much more more expensive custom rifle.
Thank you very much for a great video - very informative. I'm researching at the moment for my first rimfire bolt action rifle and those two are my favourite.
I had an opportunity to give a look on the Tikka T1x and CZ 457 Royal last Friday.
I 100 % agree with you that the Tikka is very small - looks like a toy gun 🔫 and all the upgrades you've done on your own are the must have to be able to use it up to it's potential - seems like good platform - very well put together.
The CZ 457 Royal - it's just beautiful piece of firearm the wood work is amazing and it feels just right in the hand. I didn't have a chance to see the Varmint version but I expected even better.
Here in Ireland CZ 457 Varmint is very expensive €1000 vs Tikka T1x €670 is it really worth it ? - I'd like to have both of them.
My choice is the Tikka as future competition rifle but at some point I'll get the other one also.
Thanks for excellent comparison and keep up the good work.
You're welcome. I just picked up a Pro Varmint and will be at the range tomorrow with a vid to follow. Stay tuned!
Good content and thank you. I like both rifles but somehow the CZ was harder for me to get. I also ended up buying the Tikka T1x 22LR. I also owned the Sako Quad with the 22LR and the 17HMR barrels. The Sako Quad is my smiling rifle. 😄
I got the sako 308 wasnt smiling when i had to pay 4 it ,😅 me mates sako 22 is beautiful but my cz 452 looks nicer
Are those the cheek pieces for the Victor 10/22 Titan stock on your T1X? I've been contemplating getting those for this very purpose. Looks good.
I think they fit both.
I have both the CZ 455 and 457 American in 22 Lr. They shoot unbelievably accurately. You just can't beat CZ for accuracy.
What's the model bipod on the T1X? I like that it has a handle on the swivel lock instead of just a knob.
Would you be so nice and tell me the Barrel diameter at the muzzle and the Length of the Threads of the T1x?
Thanks!!
Hello, I couldn’t find the video you said covered what parts you put on the Tikka.
You mentioned not wanting the bang around the beautiful wooden stock on the CZ. Are you allowed to wrap the gun in the base class to protect the stock? Might seem kind of cheesy, but I would feel the same way about not wanting to beat the wood to death.
Eley Match (black box) is the most accurate round I've shot out of my 457 Varmint. .312" 5rd group @ 50 yards. Not world class accuracy but I was quite happy with those results.
I have not tested much eley ammo but I will try some of the Match I think its around $9 a box here which is reasonable price so long as it holds cloverleafs at 50yds!
So which Gun is better in terms like reliability, longlivity and tough for the next 10-20 years+? Whats about Spare Parts? Is it going to be a problem Tikka in the next few years?
Nice profile pic. That’s the sign from the Old Goat Pub in my town Richmond Maine
Great job , thanks
I picked the Tikka t1x mtr rifle for myself
Cheers Mate!
Excellent review two very good rifles. What do you think of the CZ MTR ? It looks like a very nice gun.
Keep the coming 👍🇬🇧
i[agree
Thank you, my friend! Very nice video as I just purchased a CZ 457 Varmint MTR.
ordered the same rifle today the varmint mtr
You all won’t be disappointed mine shoot 5 shot group at .740 at 100 yards with sk standard plus
Is that Vortex Diamondback Tactical the FFP or SFP model?
What is the overall length of the tikka
What scope do you have on those rifles?
What cheek riser do you have on the Tikka?
Just purchase a CZ Jaguar. What bipod are you using?? Thanks. JimE
Hey Man
I have just found your channel l like the way you present so I have subscribed I will search for your more recent videos now , looking forward to enjoying your CZ content . Aussie Steve .
Thanks. I appreciate it.
I have the Timney trigger, Oryx chassis stock and Athlon Argos 6-24 Target dot scope on my 457. What a great combo! I usually shoot offhand indoor at 25 yds with CCI std vel and don’t see much difference in group size when I try eley or sk ammo.
the classes are determined by how much you spend or the MSRP, because that can be a big difference
I got a CZ 457 at one 24inch version incoming, but just got another email notification the t1x on the waiting list is back in stock, with a price difference less than a hundred compared to CZ. What a beautiful day, I am gonna have them both
Hello, which of the 2 is better for hunting and long-distance shooting. Thank you
@@luchocazaconaire7789 I eventually passed on t1x upr because even that is the only one has the adjustable cam and pull length, it's barrel is much shorter than at one 24inch version. For accuracy, no matter hunting or competition, longer barrel always gave a little bit more advantage due to more room for rifling so the bullet is more stabilized at higher muzzle energy if everything is equal. If it's your first bolt actions 22, get a Ruger American with half of its price, and build up on it which actually should be more satisfying.
@@flyfishing101Ok impeccable so it's not worth the t1 you say for the length of the barrel. Well, thank you very much for sharing your experience, greetings from Uruguay. 🇺🇾
What cheek riser is on the tikka?
Could you share a link to the accessories you uave on the tikka please?
Bonjour,
Je possède quatre CZ (Jaguar, thumbole yellow, Précision trainer et Mini sniper) et j'en suis très satisfait. Vous m'avez donné envie de cette Tikka, peut-être mon prochain achat. En tous cas, merci pour votre vidéo, j'ai adoré. 👍
They sure have changed since I bought my CZ452 Lux back in the early 90’s. It’s been a great little rifle for rabbits and squirrels, just wondering how it would stack up against the newer versions?
I have the 452 in the sporter blued barrel , there more prefferd by gun enthusiest as they have a better trigger but u cant swap the barrel out in 452 u can in the 455 457 ,
Two amazing rifles.
Many people are so uptight about their equipment for NRL22
Truth be told
NRL22 don’t require that good of accuracy From Vudoo or MPA22
Or 2500 bucks scope
Thank you for providing honest review
Happy shooting
I just hit the 457th likes button, and I put deposit on CZ 457 beech wood stock just yesterday at local gun shop. Today is 24th Dec. Merry Christmas everybody!
Welcome to the clan!
Tikka if they still come with Sako barrels. I got a Tikka T3 in 2004 that came with a made in Finland barrel that shot great. If Spock had a rife it would be a Tikka. Now days I think there a lot of rifles in that price range that shoot MOA.
Which cheek rest is that on the Tikka?
CZ should cut you a couple royalty checks lol.....just bought a 457 MTR. Great video !
me too
Its weird that almost everybodys t1x likes rifle match and ceter x. I've tested my t1x with everything I can get in Finland which is over 35 different types. I tested everything at 100 meters with 5x10 groups. Mine didnt care for center-x or rifle match at all.
From lapua best were Polar biathlon and Biathlon x
Eley: Match, Tenex, Tenex Biathlon, Sport, Edge were all phenomenal, with thenex and match consistant sub moa 10 shot groups.
From SK only the new long range match produced acceptable results from 100 meters beyond sub moa-1.5moa. And it is my go to round for price/performance.
There is no reason to test 22lr at 50 meters because everything nowadays shoot great at 50 meters. Its only at 100 and beyond where you really start to see differences.
My setup is Steiner m7xi 4-28 msr-2, spuhr 4901, tikka t1x, krg bravo stock, atlas cal bipod.
For me the tikka was a no brainer since I had a t3x before, so it was an identical trainer. Also in Finland aftermarket parts are way easier to come by than cz. If you want a switch barrel, go cz (or sako quad), otherwise t1x.
Dear Finnish. Could you pleace force Saco to make a left handed version of their Quad? Or Tikka to make their T1X barrel changeable ;)? If I where right eye dominant and right handed, I would have chosen a 457 with wooden stock. By the way, isn't both Sako and Tikka made by the same manufacturer? Greetings from Norway.
Great comparison. Any additional info on the cheek riser on the Tikka would be appreciated. Thx.
I’m also interested in the cheek raiser. I’m looking for one for my Tikka
I subscribed because of the name of your channel.
Thanks. My goats pay no attention to me. :)
CZ, my brother and cousin and I have owned many they shoot the SK very well as well as the standard velocity CCI. Very much sub MOA.
Any issues with case extraction on the Tikka?
I have the Tikka, I have no issue with case extraction at all. Everything on my Tikka functions as it should.
C Lee thanks. I’ve seen stories of some having issues with extractions, especially 17 hmr, which is what I’d get.
Started watching and heard you say "0.8, so half a pound". I thought 0.5 was half, which would make 0.8 (of a lb) 12.8 oz right? and not 8 oz. Am I wrong? what am I missing?
16oz is 1lb, so 8oz is 0.5lb
100% agree w/ you tuttyonadunda, which is why I wrote what I did. He said .8 oz, not 8 oz right? That is were my confusion was. Did he "mean" 8 oz (which would be .5 oz), or 0.8 ounces? A difference of just over 3/4 of a lb. Not a "big deal", I was just wondering is all.
Which one of the guns, would you grab first, for hunting small game? I really like the look of the CZs. But as a leftie, they lock me out. Tikka will eventually make a left handed version. It's a shame CZ wouldn't. Is the market for left handers really that marginally? They did make a great left handed version of the 452, but it's rare to find one in good condition. Many has cut down their barrels to 16 inch.
What did you end up getting the Tikka t1x or the CZ ??
@@robertsalyers1351 Hello Robert. I ended up with the T1x. But now cz are on their way with left handed version too. Maybe I need a .17hmr 😉
The 5 round Cz mag is for hunting.
I ended up getting the 457 pro varmint and it seems to shoot well with all ammunition so long as it says SK on the box ;P 6 different types of sk tested and they all group under 1/2 inch but it really seems to do well with standard plus and pistol match (I am suspect it does well with the pm ammo due to the faster burning powder that cart uses in combination with the 16 1/2in barrel)
Would like to get my 453 back
I have two 457's and a 455 and have owned several 455's. Never shot the Tikka T1, but when I hold it, it just feels cheap. CZ's just feel right in your hands.
Is that a factory cheekrest on the Tikka?
What cheek riser is that?
How many bullets in the groups?
10 shot groups after 5 fouling shots.
VERYGOOD I FROM THAILAND
verygood
Pitty,the CZ is behind Tikka ,so we cant see her. But thanks for the video.
i’ve been wonder how the t1x would do against the new 457 synthetic varmint? synthetic vs synthetic! i put a mtr barrel in my synthetic stock and it’s crazy how much more accurate and consistent it is…
I have both rifles. The CZ is a much better rifle. The ONLY thing that the Tikka does better is the trigger.
Plinkster, Plinkster he's my man.
kick rocks then kiddo.
Haha
I have a problem getting second
I appreciate your review, but I am confused, according to the groups of both rifles the most accurate is CZ 457 (@100YDS; CZ .617" - TIKKA .819" / @50YDS; CZ .127" - TIKKA .269"), but you use the Tikka for competition ..., I don't understand why use Tikka and not CZ which has greater precision?. 🤔 🇨🇱
He specifically said he did not want to subject the cz's beautiful wood stock to anything that would mar it up; I'd be the same way but that's just me.
I'm going with the cz
Would you shoot CCI mini mag in either one of those guns?
Why not?
Either of these fine rifles will easily handle CCI mini-mags! Accuracy will not be what the premium target grade ammo will provide, but you will be shooting "hunting" grade ammo with the CCI mini-mag and they are a pretty fair round in the accuracy department for what they are. You can also use the CCI Velocitors or Stingers if you would prefer something a bit hooter than a a standard loading. They will not damage either rifle's chamber or bore.
@@rt66rc86 What would happen if I ran a few old 6 mm Flobert rounds through them? Could it work as a plinking round?
No groups? -- what is the video for then?
👍👍👍
I love both of these rifles, but i wish they would make them in left handed. Thats unfortunatly keeping me out of competition.
They are making the T1x in LH, finding one make take some doing.
The T1x in .22lr, left handed, has finally arrived in Norway 🇳🇴
I’m a lefty, I have the tx1 in left hand. My other 6 guns are rights handed and I prefer right handed action for bench rest
I gotta cz 452 american in woodstock such a beautiful gun wood and steel, 50 year old design , i think the cz is better in rimfire but center fire tikka ,
Same CZ mag as the 452
What about the 457 At One?
Whatever fits your need. But I think the new LRP is also something to look at.
I have a CZ with the manners but had to add adjustable comb and length of pull myself, Boyd’s I believe comes with it which is nice. I heard people on snipers hide aren’t satisfied with the LRP and they recommend going with a different model.
YOU can get a CZ with a 28 inch barrel the longer barrel makes shore all powder is burn but more important it give you more projectile stability for XLR SHOOTING .
CZ has used the same magazines since the 452! I have each too in the left handed version and dislike the Tikka Magazines more than the CZ Mags!
I HAVE BOTH, PROBLEM SOLVED!!🤷♂️😉😂
Wow my feelings ....wow your are smart....lol
My Tikka must be newer. It has a aluminum bolt shroud and the magazine is different. Not as long.
CZ 457 is simply AMAZING!!!👍
Why can’t remington or Winchester make a .22 that can compete these guns. (Savage maybe but ugly).I have 2 457s and love em, but I feel like a bit of traitor for owning them. Just me?
I felt that same "twitch" about buying my first CZ 452 rather than an American made rifle of the same or similar configuration. However, the days when Remington or Winchester made a "good" .22 rifle that would do what the current CZ rimfire lineup does are long gone!
I now have a solid collection of CZ in 452, 455 and 457 in .22lr, .22WMR and .17 HMR respectively, and have just purchased another CZ 457 LUX in .22lr! All of these rifles shoot extremely well and I don't have any problem with buying Chec firearms, they build a fine rifle and I appreciate that they do. Why American gun companies can't get their act together is no longer a concern of mine. Although, it is sad to see that we have fallen so far in this industry!
Well said
You get what you pay for
I got bored, since you did not shoot, or show any targets.
CZ
Someone with no head told us nothing.
Bring back more beautiful wood stocks I'm so sick of cheap plastic and the stupid ar looking crap
Please don’t make a comment about other great CZcamsr do your comparison
.
Too long no conclusion
