Decision on RF for Precision?

[MonasheeMan5]

New to the hobby,

Looking to get a nice precision rifle for long range precision shooting but i don't want to break the bank.
Currently selling my 10/22 and want to upgrade it for...

1. Ruger precision Rifle .22lr
2. CZ 457 .22lr

Is there another affordable choice i should be researching? I'm hearing CZ all day. It's just not as pretty haha.

Opinions?

Cheers,

Most people I know that has a RPR, replaced it with an Anschutz or something else. I personally would get a 457 if those were my 2 choices. Has nothing to do with looks, they're just know for being more accurate.

CZ is the only choice between those. I’d rather have an accurate, quality rifle, than a crappy one that looks cool. The cz can be put into any number of chassis or stocks to help with ergos. I have the b14r and a cz457 in an XRS and love them both. Very accurate and reliable

If you can track down a 457 VPC (varmint precision chassis) you have an excellent platform to commence shooting. Add a 30MOA base, Burris XTR Signature rings with the 0,5,10, 20 cant options and pick any number of MIL scopes and you’re good to go.

CZ or B14R. My 457 is the LRP, my B14R is in an XRS chassis with a Timney trigger. Both are great, but the B14R is the winner in my case. Neither is what I would call low cost. If you're talking RPR vs standard 457, CZ all the way.

This guy here actually looks decent, a bit more $$$ than i want to spend. But once i sell my custom 10/22 i think i won't complain

That looks like a nice setup.

Also, the folks at Tesro are great to work with. They will have the ammo that you need to make it work its best.

CZ. No contest.

That's the model I have. Got it from tesro as well. My buddy bought one as well. Ive had great luck with all types of ammo in it. I prefer my b14r slightly, but the CZ is definitely a keeper

CZ, Bergara or Tikka T1X, you won't go wrong with any of these.

I suggest a CZ 457 MTR so that you start out with the match chamber. It's a great platform on which you can progressively build up and customise to your taste as you progress.

CT is westbank had that model

Between those 2 options the cz no question. The tikka T1x is also nice.

I have a T1X that is competitive, but the ease of barrel changes and better feeding goes to the CZ.

Think of as a investment. You'll buy something lower quality, then it wont perform as good as you want, and then left buying something else. While trying to sell the other one for a loss.

There are a number of subscribers that could be met at local clubs or you could travel to Mission for one of our 100/200 Metre Rimfire shoots.
They are held once a month all year. Next on i September 17. A warehouse of inmformation.
There are always some deals on this site plus some of the dealers also advertise specials.
The CZ 457 is very popular. There is always someone getting out after buying a rifle and find out they are not up to the challenge.
The opinions of dealers range from where-to-go to where-not-to-go!
The amount I have spent on rifles that I did not properly test with match grade ammunition. Once I developed my own testing regimen my level of enjoyment has increased remarkably.
I always wanted an Anschutz and now the stable is filling. Only accurate rifles are interesting . . . to steal someone else's signature.
Buy 30 times and cry about performance or buy once an laugh at your previous purchases. I am laughing now!

The phrase is attributed to Townsend Whelen.

was this your final selection ?

 

[Ansterds]

I love my cz457 recently changed barrels so if you did end up need or wanting a match (mtr barrel) I have one
