Check out bullseye. They’re a sight sponsor and awesome to deal with and have free shipping over $300 I’m pretty sure. Good knowledge of shooting and PRS. Call and ask for Ken Thiessen. Super nice fellah and highly skilled shooter.

If you're interested in an MTR with all the Area 419 upgrades and a match barrel we have one available
What parts are added to the base 457 MTR to get to that price?
According to the Area 419 website, the "extras" added include an Area 419 scope base, 14″ Universal ARCALOCK Rail, and an Area 419 bolt knob. It's unclear whether the barrel is a CZ factory MTR barrel that has a CZ "match" chamber or something else.

I read the description and those three extras do not add up to the 600+ dollars over retail. So I was looking for some clarity on what was included in case I was reading it wrong.

For clarity that is required our upgrades for our stock versions are:
Area 419 Bolt Knob $33.75
Area 419 Improved Scope Rail $140.00
Area 419 14″ Universal ARCALOCK Rail KIT $290.00
Area 419 Hellfire muzzle brake $230
Total $693.75
The barrel is a factory match, to get a Bartlein barrel you need to step up to one of the other kits (which we will soon be offering as an affordable package with a KRG Bravo).
FYI with the dollar dropping fast the next shipment of these will be at least 5% higher in cost
OH, My Bad, did not realize the Arca rail was a "kit" and still can't find where it shows or lists the $230.00 brake.
Not including the step up to a Bartlein barrel and KRG Bravo chassis, do any of those upgrades improve accuracy over the stock CZ 457 MTR?
The Area 419 website describes the CZ 457 MTR – Fully Loaded package:
Introducting – the CZ 457 MTR, Fully Loaded.
You’re getting:
A 22lr CZ 457 MTR, with a 20.5″ Threaded Match Barrel
5rd CZ 22lr Magazine
Area 419 Scope Base for 457, in either 15MOA or 30MOA
14″ Universal ARCALOCK Rail kit
Area 419 Bolt Knob
This package is ready to shoot, and in our experience it’s ready to shoot WELL.
See h t t p s://www.area419.com/product/cz-457-mtr-fully-loaded/
A muzzle brake doesn't appear to be part of the package from Area 419. Nor is it mentioned in on the GBT website (which has the same information as the Area 419 website).
In any case would it be anything more than a cosmetic addition? This is a rimfire rifle.
I agree with the 419 products being pricey. Like most things in life, you get what you pay for and their products are incredibly made. Machining, fit and finish are second to none. I was hesitant when I originally purchased them because cheaper could be had but I’m not suffering buyers remorse at all. I will buy more products from them at anytime and GBT are friggin awesome to deal with and are knowledgeable about all they sell. Canadian company and site sponsor, perfect combo. Just my opinion,Cheers Chris

I’ll second that,
Area 419 products are extremely well made with excellent attention to detail.
The initial cost is usually a little bit more than competitors but I feel area 419 is the better choice due to all the extra fine details.
The arca rail isn’t like any other arca rail available, it has a series of “teeth” that lock in tight and will not move, called the arcaloc and is also fully useful with all standard Swiss arca products.
You also get the scope base, this is the best choice available in my opinion, in your choice of MOA and area 419 even added a bubble level while machining, another well made high quality piece.
The bolt knob looks a little funny but I can say from experience it has a super comfortable well placed finger groove
The break, some say this allows them to watch their bullet in flight as it eliminated all muzzle movement due to recoil. This is a 6mm break, so it can also be used on your 6mm CF rifles.
This is a excellent turn key competition ready setup, just add your scope!
Any questions, email Tom, he is super helpful and quick to respond

You're not saying the addition of the Area 419 products and the arca rail in the "CZ 457 MTR – Fully Loaded" package -- which doesn't include a muzzle brake -- advances its accuracy over a stock CZ 457 MTR.
About the muzzle brake, you say it eliminates all muzzle movement, and presumably all recoil that can cause it. Is it only the presence of a muzzle brake that allows shooters to "watch their bullets in flight"? Are shooters who don't use muzzle brakes are unable to watch or track their bullets in flight?
Perhaps some shooters are overestimating the recoil experienced with a .22LR rifle. The stock CZ 457 MTR weighs 3.9 kg or 8.6 pounds. Add a scope rail and scope and the arca rail and the "Fully Loaded" Area 419 rifle package will easily weigh ten pounds.
Here's a comparison of recoil levels for different calibers. Note that the level for the .22LR is with a six pound rifle. The stock CZ 457 MTR is 8.6 pounds or 43% heavier. Its recoil would be even less than shown here.
