- This is Episode 2 of ammo testing with the Lithgow and CZ455 with Walther Barrel. This time my buddy DM decided he wanted a piece of the action and wants to find out what shoots best in one of his rifles. Many are heralding this rifle as the most accurate 22LR ever built.

Aussie Aussie Aussie . A great rifle from a great Country, and the CZ mags fit the rifle .
6:37 "This rounds going to be off, hard to chamber" Gets a bullseye!
I’m really enjoying this new 22 thing you got going on. You always have excellent content, but a little variety is always nice. Thank you for all that you do. It is greatly appreciated!
This man is army! Completely love the communication and the attention to detail!
That LITHGOW LA101 is amazing.
Really enjoy your channel. Great reviews, lots of fun. Just bought my first Lithgow!
A disease for which there is no cure! My wife said I can't watch your channel anymore because I was talking in my sleep about a Lithgow and she thinks Eley is the name of my secret girlfriend. :)
Mr. Revolver guy love all your shows and hope you keep up the good practices.
Your videos are very informative keep them coming. Im a big 22 fan myself
Man, that Lithgow is some kinda beautiful for sure.
G'day from Australia, I am glad that you pronounce it Lithgow not Lithgcow, well done my friend. I am glad you are using good old Aussie rifle, been made in the same factory since 1912.
Look up the Lithgow factory museum, it has one of the best displays, I have seen in the world. even a very varied collection of LUGERS.
People are bringing up issues of magazine feeding problems, well that issue has been resolved a while back now, as the villain as to with the feeding issue, was the top plate that that pushed the bullet up was made of plastic I believe, they are made of metal now. With no issues.
I have fired my friends at the range and the Lithgow is a sweet unit to operate, mine is coming very soon with a walnut stock and black ceracoat + a March 3-24x52 scope.
I might be biased being a Greek Aussie.
keep up the good work Mr Revolver guy.
Thank you much Black Prince I have had no issues except in the extreme cold and I know that was more ammo related, even my CZ magazines work with it. Only change is the spring the make the trigger a little lighter. This rifle is very consistent and the least pickiest of the bunch. I love pictures when you get yours email me a picture of your setup.
Nice target setup. I'm stealing that!
I am a 22-aholic myself. Great video thanks.
Enjoyed good shooting ... Keep banging. ...away away away.
If the rounds are feeding harder with the CZ magazine, eject a few rounds without firing and examine the rounds for cut marks. My Ruger Precision Rimfire was marking up the rounds and I talked to Ruger about the problem and they sent me a new chassis and that fixed the problem. I always looked to me like the old magazine was to low in the chassis and the edge of the barrel was cutting the rounds.
I'm seeing a lot of vids in australia having that problem cutting the rounds and even having problems getting the rounds in the barrel
Forgot how much this man yaps on!
Yup, you started down this rabbit hole, your only way out is to shoot your way out !!
good luck........keeps the vids coming.
I guess I better keep blasting thanks for stopping by and the support.
I shot a clean 1000 in a match with my LA101. I use a caldwell tack driver bag and rolled up towel on the rear. I was using centerx ammo that day, but the gun likes Gecco Match @ $3.99 a box. Scope is a used Weaver T36 with a center dot.
Gecco Match that's awesome thank you for the tip.
I've got three Lithgows, 22lr, 223 Rem and 308 Win all excellent rifles
My best 5 shot group @ 50m using Eley Match in a CZ453 varmint barrel was .275
Very happy with the quality!
Yes really good quality I agree, what an awesome group size. Download the target we would love to have you in the Dayattherange 22 challenge here www.dayattherange.com/?page_id=7184
@@Dayattherange where do i upload the picture? it wont let me here.
@@GAV63 email it to me Gavin mr.revolverguy at dayattherange.com
I'd like to suggest that you place a cross set of lines and place the stickers dead center of a cross, The horizonal line will help level up & down and the vertical line for left and right!
As you shoot the centers it can change you point of aim a little... Great video
Isn't that cheating Wade 😂
@@Dayattherange Not really cheating however it should yield a more precise aiming point especially when bullets cut the small diamond or black spot on the target.
You can still lineup the cross hairs on the lines outside the spot...
All due respect to Vudoo and their brilliant "open system" design using a Remington 700 action compatible with triggers, rails, rings, barrels, etc, I gotta say that the Lithgow performs better at half the price or less. Makes me want to buy one now!
🤣🤣🤣 not even close
Totally. My Lithgow is more accurate than my vud. That was in static bench tests with no human holding the rifle.
@@danielmastrangelo3778 0.416 inch, winner winner chicken dinner…Lithgow wins again. Cold barrel or hot barrel…it shoots bettter!
I am also a .22-aholic. I have a meeting with some Eley and an Anschutz and some thunderbolt and a 10/22. One is faster, one is more accurate, both are an appropriate amount of fun.
Welcome Zach 😂
Love 10x in my 455..new barrel need to be used,...also good luck with some Aguila ammo.good luck
Is it trash?
If the Lithgow has feeding issues with Cz magazines would single shot feeding eliminate the accuracy problem? I often get a flyer on my first shot. You have me wondering if it's the Mag's. I will experiment and let you know.
shew. thats some good shooting
Thanks for sharing your video seen here in the UK,can you get that Rifle in a black barrel as I’m not keen on that colour.
This video is awesome. It proves the point I've been trying to make for months and months. Guys spend unnecessary money on a vudoo and top ammo expecting it to keyhole shots and when it doesn't they get all mad and pissed lol making excuses. You don't need to spend 7 grand on a vudoo to shoot tight groups ESPECIALLY at 50 yards. My built 1022 shoots better than this vudoo and my build ruger precision rimfire shoots even better it shoots better at 100 yards matter of fact.
The first step is to admit it to yourself. I find some centrefire and pistol helps.
WHERE CAN YOU GET ONE THESE BEASTS??!!
Could I ask where you got the bolt handle for the Lithgow 101? It looks sized for the rifle better than most that I see. Thanks for all the great videos
also. Great job!
I think it comes standard mate
no sorry i didn't look hard enough it comes wit a rubber ball
What's your go to gun, your favorite?
Did you sort the ammo or was it straight out of the box. I sort for rim thickness.
Match works better for me than Tenex in two different rifles.
What scope and mounts are you using on the Lithgow..??
You don't the front rest up on it points under the legs that a big no no too. you your hat hit the scope and moving the gun. suppressor hurt accuracy too. Here's a videos you need to what this how the shot off a bench and test ammo This how I to do it
Hay there Brother , you shoot same as me and a lot of us . NOW here's the kicker use bunny busting ammo like a lot of other brothers . What you reckon???
Load 1 magazine then load and unload then check the bullet heads sometimes som saved lead heads
The Vudu is supposed to avoid this with a system that pushes the rounds straight into the chamber, no feed ramp.
Dude, Holy Hannah! I think you found your ammo!
I think I may be close Joel but I want to try Lapua brand first.
@@Dayattherange I understand!
Looking for wa ard to the cz455 walther
"I'm Mr. Revolverguy, and I'm a twenty-two-aholic" LOL
Momma finally gave me permission to buy a new scope for my 50+ year old Mossberg .22..... maybe with a better scope, no parallax issues, I'll be able to lessen my "official" score that I turned in previously? Look at what you made me do! 😂🤣
uh oh now it is on like Donkey Kong. I can't wait to see Jerry.
I meant to say favoite 22 rifle?
Hi Big Guy
I’m going to the fange this afternoon, I will give Eley match a try in myCZ455 I hope I get the same results that you did , Steve from Australia
I actually believe the weakness of this Lithgow is the inability to feed. I have watched many videos of different shooters with this rifle and they all have difficulty chambering rounds. It must be distorting them somewhat.
Only trouble I have had is with the CZ magazines I have confirmed that. with the original 5 round magazine no issue.
@@Dayattherange Can you confirm your groups might be better with the original mag? I have a Ruger 10-22 with all Volquartsen parts except for the receiver that has trouble with accuracy with a couple of magazines. They feed perfectly but they always tend to have drastic flyers for no reason the other three magazines I have don't do this.
I had to adjust the follower in the magazine and a small adjustment with a file on the plastic feed guides that releases the rim of the .22 round , it allows the round to feed smoothly with “ NO “ damage to the bullets. A 10 Rd steel CZ magazine worked better than the plastic magazine.
Watch how your rifle flops left and right in that rest. Too bad you live so far from Hoover, AL. We run a .22 Sniper Match. 10 Steel targets each at 50, 75, 100, 125, 150 and 200 yds. The 200 yd targets are 5"w x 6"h. 5 minutes at each distance for sighters and then 10 shots at 10 targets.
Which rifle
@@Dayattherange The Lithgow.
Gday mate.
Isnt it funny how identical guns prefer different bullets. My Lithgow 101 shoots 0.4" groups at 50m with Elley Match all day. It doesn't seem to like the Tenex
I agree -- May sound sick but part of the fun.
@@Dayattherange true mate. Keep up the rimfire vids.
Cheers
Why does your buddy take his face off the gun to run the bolt?
To truly test ammo correctly you have to clean between each different band of ammo do to different types of lube. If you don't do this it will not be a fair representation of how that ammo shoots in your gun. because of to two mixed lubes in the barrel. By cleaning I mean just 2 wet patches a then 2 dry ones and about 6 to 8 fowling shots of the new ammo to be tested before you shot for score with new ammo. I shoot ARA unlimited and this does a big different in my gun. You may pass up the best best ammo for your gun because of the mixed lubes .
Thank you find many other video's here where this is heavily debated -- have actually done it both ways and show it in one of the previous videos.
I still would like it if you single feed, and place a penny next to your groups.
Take a little advice from someone that has been shooting .22's a long time. Fix your original rest. Nothing wrong with the Rock BR. Glad to see you finally have a decent rear bag. All Eley, with the EPS bullet, starts out as Tenex. It gets downgraded to Match and Team depending on accuracy results across the five test barrels at Eley. Cleaning the barrels was a waste of time. BTW as I have stated before, all .22 must Lot tested even Tenex. I have some Lots of Team that will out shoot Tenex. I shot some Eley Benchrest Outlaw at 200 yds today. 10 shot group was a good bit less than 2" out of my CZ 455 with stock barrel in a Boyd's Pro Varmint stock. One additional tip. Get a track plate for the fore end of your rifles. Here you go. www.whiddengunworks.com/product/track-plate-2/
Aware of the track plate I have one for the Kimber 82G Joe. Yes one can add on many accessories which definitely help prove how accurate a rifle is and I may progress that way but for now I want to keep it stock and have a good baseline. That way anything I do change I know how much of a difference it made and maybe others can learn from it also.
@@Dayattherange Your Rock BR can be made as good as a high dollar rest. Remove the front pad you are using. Go to Home Depot or Lowes and purchase a square felt furniture pad and place it where your original front pad was. Get a couple of round pads and attach them to the two ears that have the little screw to adjust side tension on the rifles fore end. Wish I could send you a picture. www.lowes.com/pd/Super-Sliders-2-Pack-4-1-2-in-X-6-in-Oatmeal-Felt-Pad/1000372575
@@joed3264 Nah I get it I actually have a smaller bag that fits the Lithgow very well, I just forgot to change it out but you painted a very good visual and still may decide to go that route. The original bag is not as wide and can be squeezed by the ears. The reason for the Protektor bag is for a different rifle that gas a 3 inch track plate on it. Thank you for the assist Joe.
50 yd?
“Cold bore” its a .22 mate she won’t get too warm.
Sorry for the bad English I am from Holland
IF YOU SCREW UP WITH THE VUDOO, YOU ARE DEFINITELY IN A DEEP DOOH DOOH!!!😉👉
Your only lifeline is to shoot your way out!!!
You started this!
Light strike may just be a dead spot in the priming mix why a few rifles have multiple strike points!!!
Big E I surely expected you to throw me a life preserver at least 😁 Guess I will keep blasting.
Stick with Lithgow mags
