How are your CZ457 MTR's shooting

I'm pretty happy, trigger fantastic. Best of all it shoots federal target ammo very well. Which is nice on the wallet..
Rifle Prefers to shot with a clean bore, where as my Cz455 likes it fouled ..
I'll be ready for gopher season

Hey CZ owners. There are several CGN owners of this new model out there. Wondering how well the rifles are shooting. Everyone satisfied with them? Cheers,

Mine is now a CZ 457 MTD with a 16" barrel. Way better feeling then with the MTR stock. Just added a Area 419 bolt knob which makes a huge improvement cycling the bolt. Now cycling it with my palm instead of fingers. Accuracy was good out of the box and now using CCI SV for all my shooting. No problem hitting my 300 yard 8" metal gong but right now I have a 4" metal gong at 170 yards and having fun with that.

Was but for me it was getting boring whether shooting paper targets to 1" spinners.

Would be fun to have a KYL target and practice different shooting positions other than bench rest. But right now I'm having fun with the 4" going at 170 yards especially on the rainy and windy days. It's my type of shooting I enjoy.
 
Was really happy with mine with 16" barrel. However I prefer a longer barrel in the MTR stock so that 16" barrel was mated to a 455 action and evolution stock for offhand shooting, super happy with that setup. Ordered a McGowan 20" barrel for the 457, hopefully it's a fricken lazer.

I posted the 457 MTR in the 1/2" challenge:

I'm not familiar with McGowan, but having experience with Lilja and Shilen barrels, rimfire rifles are still not lazer beams, no matter how good the barrel. Even with a great barrel blank, the littlest things a smith gets wrong in fitting can turn it into nothing more than an average shooter. Say all goes well with a good blank expertly fitted and finished, the hunt for good lots of ammo to feed it can make you pull your hair out. I produce some excellent results from time to time with my 455 custom/Lilja, though I would say on average it shoots groups at 50 yards in a (non symmetrical) bell curve centered around 0.3".

I rarely see groups in the 0.5's +, likewise 0.0's are elusive. A handful of 0.1's tend to pop-up during an extended range day. Many 0.2's and 0.3's, some 0.4's. Although this is ostensibly excellent accuracy for a rimfire (perhaps "lazer-like to some), it is still a notch back from the cutting edge of where rimfire accuracy is at today. I cannot stress strongly enough how difficult it is, from a manufacturing/gunsmithing perspective, to construct a barrel, put it together with an action, bed it in a stock and end up with something capable of peak rimfire accuracy, if one manages to acquire some ammo that doesn't suck. Now, go set out your wind flags and shoot the thing ;)

Results as I've described with my 455 custom are realistic if one has an excellent example of a factory gun such as an Anschütz, or does a good job building a CZ custom (not limited to these brands, just a ready example). To go above and beyond, strap on your parachute and jump into the rimfire rabbit hole.
