Pete is my favorite Michigan retailer. Its hanging with my Acculite so far. Sorry for not much info. I only have 50 yards to shoot at just got my range pass for Mount Pleasant Michigan yesterday so hopefully I can give you some data on the barrel as well. I put the VQ blow forward .860 comp on it and it was still shooting great at 50. Cci
I have a CZ 457 in .17 HMR.(bull barrel) I used it for a Metal Pig matches at 235 yards with great success. However, a few months ago after a shooting event, I clean the barrel and apparently the cleaning tip came unscrewed in the barrel and I did not catch it. The next time I went to shoot it, B A N G! the mag blew apart, Cracked my wood stock in two places, When I got it home, I used a wood dowel rod to force out the two pieces. After a new KRG Stock at 75 yards was shooting good groups so I though it was in good shape. Well the next match comes in and I start sighting in with a very light wind and the bullets was hitting here there and everywhere. I asked CZ to check my barrel as no one around here has a bore scope for the .17 HMR. CZ refused to even look at it unless it was in the original everything. So I ended up with the $550 Lilija Chrome Match Barrel. Followed their break in to a point. Took it out last week and Severe wind and we could only score on the swingers as the wind was blowing thee metal pigs off the rail. As of today, I've not been able to get to a range where I can shoot out to the 235 yards to see what grouping I'm getting with the new barrel and the KRG Stock. So two questions... Does the break in on the new barrel really make a difference. And # 2, Would you like to have the barrel? Knowing or not knowing the condition. Ig you would pay the shipping you can have it for free if you would let me know one way or the other if the barrel was damaged or not. Maybe I just got a bad batch of ammo. I don't remember what I was shooting when they flew way off target. Otherwise, I guess it will be a Stake in the ground for a fence stiffener! Very disappointed in CZ and I the 457 in .22 and the Mag, all in bull barrels!
