Exceptional review of your build. Outstanding presentation and I especially appreciate that you took the extra effort and additional time that it surely took you to provide a parts ID list and timeline in your comments section below the video. It's those extra details that has earned you my subscription. I look forward to watching your other videos, knowing (now) that I won't miss any of your future offerings.
Thx for the information. I just bought a MTR 16.5 inch barrel. Can't wait build it up. You saved me a lot of leg work. Being from Australia its harder to find Stuff. Great job.
You are very good behind the camera, well done Matt. I bought a b14r a few months ago and have been very happy with it. I have over 3000 rounds through it now and not a single problem. I have the same rifle in a 6 creed so it does mimic it.
Im thinking of getti ng into the 22LR in ELR. I currently shoot in King Of 2 Mile with 375 Cheytac and I want to try something for our off Months from Sept thru Feb.in 22LR Extreme Long Range.I have BNergara HMR Pro in 6.5 PRC so I like Bergara. I see you have the B14R.Is it the Trainer model? Is the CZ 457 as good as the Bergara B14r?I have to stay under $1500.for the stock/Production.Thanks
As always your videos are very informative .You tell why you chose a specific part and why it works(for you). Parts choice are a matter of personal preference of course but you,sir, give a sound basis of a starting point based upon experience. I look forward for more videos from you.
I bought the 10% stronger firing pin spring for my 455 after I had some failures to fire. But I equate that issue with a dirty bolt (firing pin / firing pin channel). I cleaned it up and it was firing fine with the OEM spring. I went ahead and put the 10% spring in anyway after I received it.
Ya, I try to keep my bolt pretty clean, I definitely clean it more than my barrel. Running into issues with the bolt whether it be light strikes, extraction, etc. during a match would be a nightmare.
Just landed on your channel and loved what I've watched so far. I have a cz 457 with stock barrel. The gun shoots pretty good with it but im wanting to possibly switch my barrel. So my question is... will I get tighter groups switching to an international barrel similar to what you built into your gun and what's the difference between the 20" and 22" barrel? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Hello, I have a question. I have 30 moa rail and I want to put 20 moa sphur rings. Do I go with low, medium or high rings? 30, 34 and 44mm height? Scope is 34mm tube and 56mm objective.
Hi, I replaced the magwell to DIP aluminum one too, but I found it does not fit in MDT ACC chassis. Once the back of the action seated in recoil lug position, the front part of DIP magwell can not seat in ACC chassis. I found that the front of DIP magwell(close to the front action screw) is a little bit larger than the factory one. Did you have this issue? Thanks,
The only thing you haven't added is a folding adapter. I really dislike that MDT grip. It gets a plus 10 on cool factor tho. My favorite person grip is the ergo tdx 0 if you havent tried it I would.
I know you have the strike eagle on the rifle now, but we're you able to zero the rifle with that 55 moa scope base and the diamondback tactical you took off of it? Thanks! And great videos! Keep them coming!
I never tried the DBT on the scope base, it would be pretty close. I have a buddy who runs a 20 moa base + ~25moa in the Burris XTR rings, he's about 1 mrad from the bottom of the elevation. It might not have enough elevation to zero with the 55moa base. He has the 6-24x model.
I didn’t have any specific plans when I first bought the rifle. If you know for sure you’d upgrade the barrel, then I agree getting the MTR is just a waste of money. I sold the original barrel to help with costs though
I have the same setup with the Lilja barrel, and different bolt handle. I like the Lilja because I can tweak head spacing for ammunition and do you have your stock screws torqued at a specific rate?
You have great videos and fans. As a fellow CZ 457 owner , but a newbie at that , would you be kind to do a video on on to adjust trigger to 1lb or less. It is not very intuitive, and noting online shows how to do it ..
Unfortunately I can’t post a video with anything TH-cam could consider a modification of a firearm, they give firearms channels heck for that. But you’d need an aftermarket trigger spring like the yodave I have in mine. You can also find instructions on how to replace the spring on yodave’s website
I particularly appreciate your videos, especially those where you describe your equipment and the reasons for your choices. I’m French shooter and I also have a cz 457 mounted in an MDT ACC chassis. I ordered the aluminum DIP magazine holder (DP-19048). I received it this week and I mounted it this afternoon. When I wanted to put the action back in the chassis, I have a problem, I can't put it in normally. At first sight, the front part of the magazine support, where there is the hole for the screw, is thicker than the polymer one. I will take a closer look but my question is the following, did you have to modify the DIP support to be able to install it in the MDT ACC chassis?
@@Womfat Indeed, it is at the level of the front mounting bracket of the magazine holder that DIP has not machined the part in the round as on the original, they have left two small angles which do not allow assembly without modification in the MDT ACC chassis. I took over the precision file part and now it fits perfectly in the frame. It wasn't much, but it's hard to tell without trying to ride it. I find it unfortunate that DIP is not exactly taken from the design of the original part, especially since the machining would not be really different. Thank you again for your answers which allowed me to realize the problem more quickly!
The performance is indistinguishable to me. I was happy with the MTR barrel and purchase the IBI to try. I have a friend with the lilja. The lilja has shims so that you can adjust headspace, but they all shoot great and consistent. This is just my experience though.
That's a nice build. Cost wise, how does your CZ (as built) compare to the stock Bergara B-14R if you don't include the scope. I'm trying to compare apples to apples. Thanks,
I’m currently debating between the 457 and a B-14 barreled action from Brownells. $650 for steel and $750 for a Proof carbon. I already have an HMR so stock and bottom metal are interchangeable as are my two carbon stocks and my triggers and bases. But I’m not sure because the 457 just looks to be smooth as butter and no shortage of aftermarket gear either. I can buy a blem 457 for around $400 and go from there. The difference may be the number of aftermarket barrels available for the CZ. The Bergara is lacking in that department.
Nice and very informative video! Thanks! I will build a gun like yours mainly and if I want to also change the barrel, what will be the right cz457 model to buy?
@@Womfat thanks! By the way, if you ever want to sell you’re build as is and take the money to build another one, let me know! I might be interested in buying a final product! ;-)
@@Womfat Hi, just to make sure... when you list extended mag release and extended magwell spacer, is it this: CZ 452 / 455 / 457 Extended Mag Latch and Spacer Kit? Because I have hard time finding it on MDT website... Thanks for your help, really appreciate!
You don't need this caliber, well actually, you do.....rich! Keep up the good work. Looking forward to seeing more on your wife's rifle build. Why did you change out your extractor?
Haha yeah, that tripped me up! I was noticing issues with the last spent casing not ejecting properly, it would sit on top of the mag after extraction. This was after thousands of rounds, after replacing the extractor and holder, no issues.
Womfat interesting. Mine is doing exactly the same thing. I thought maybe I was just not working the bolt as well when I knew it was the last round. I’ll try another extractor.
@@FishOn1 Talking to some other 457 users, it seems to be a fairly common issue. Some show this when they're new. It's not ahuge deal since the last case falls out with the mag, but I wanted to avoid it if possible.
Hi Matt, please ignore my question as I asked first before looking at your parts list, I found through digging a little. Great information and well presented. Thanks for creating this content !!
No personal experience with the at-one model. It sure looks nice! I have heard some people say the 457 at-one stock has less features than the normal at-one stock though.
@@Womfat i bought a cz457 at one,, based on your recommendation, and have a 10x swfa scope on it. Do you recommend a higher power scope? I shoot mostly at 100 yards (sometimes 200 or 300).
Just a heads up, your scope have 110 moa in total, and if you are using a 55 moa base, that means you are basically using the scope to its elevation limit, that is a bad idea, the scope will not be as accurate in terms of returning to zero, even if you did the box test, your scope will be more likely to have issues with that kind of turret elevation.
I've done tracking tests with it in this configuration, no issues from what I've seen. I'm aware of some scopes that do not track consistently on the extreme ends of their travel, but this doesnt seem to be the case with the Strike Eagle. I have no concerns of that
Just a suggestion pick out what you want to talk about in your video and keep it to about 10 or 12 minutes and put the rest in another video for the simple fact that it is to much information and the video is a bit long winded. I was ready to call it quits after 5 minutes however except for the price you seem to cover everything very good.
You didnt tell us about the final results of your super expensive modifications. Are you as good as STKO blogger who shoots with second hand 100 $ Mossberrg 22lr and electric tape easily 1/2 " at the 100 metres distance ???
I love this crap you by a great rifle that shoots 5/8 inch group you have so many hucksters pushing products on this what if your body good rifle I put the money in the ammunition a good ammunition and practice he would always come out ahead very few times do we out shoot or I'll pistols but wouldn't need to try to buy points
Now that's a nice looking toy, I love the 2 prong bayonet.

Hello great looking gun. How tall does the mirage shield sit from top of bottom rail? Thanks
Like all your videos!!! Happy shooting
Great video, loads of information!
Would that chassis be ideal for benchrest ?
Nice Job 👍
Do you have the mag release extension? Would fat fingers with gloves have a problem changing mags with that particular chassis?
You changed everything except going to a Timney trigger curious why?
Lovely rifle.
Nicely done

Question..Starting out in 22NLR..whats the best option to shoot ELR in a Stock off the shelf class in $1500 dollar and under Limit?

Nice rifle.
Awesome setup. What are you torquing specs on the action to stock?
I know this was a while ago but I’m curious why you went with a more expensive MTR version with you were just going to replace the barrel.
I didn’t have any specific plans when I first bought the rifle. If you know for sure you’d upgrade the barrel, then I agree getting the MTR is just a waste of money. I sold the original barrel to help with costs though
Do you know if the CZ 457 Precision Chassis has the match chamber? I did not see this listed anywhere. i want the chassis in case i wanted to revert.
From what I understand, it does not. Only the MTR and LRP have the match chamber.
I have the same setup with the Lilja barrel, and different bolt handle. I like the Lilja because I can tweak head spacing for ammunition and do you have your stock screws torqued at a specific rate?
I use 45inch pounds for the ACC
@@Womfat thanks! Can you show the DPI mag well modification for the slop?
For sure, email me and I can send picture. I just did the same for another viewer
Hi Matt, would you tell me where did you buy the barrel IBI CZ 457 prefit barrel from?, appreciate it
I purchased directly from the company
Awesome gun
What is the total lenght of the rifle?

Great videos. Have you painted the bottom of your magazines? I have noticed they are orange in other videos or is it an upgrade of some kind?
the red bottoms are a +2 extension a friend 3D printed for me
Nice rig. How much torque did you give the 2 bolts in the chassis?
I use 35 inch pounds
Super!
That's a nice build. Cost wise, how does your CZ (as built) compare to the stock Bergara B-14R if you don't include the scope. I'm trying to compare apples to apples. Thanks,
I think it would come out to more than a stock B14r. I can't remember exactly what I paid for everything since I acquired parts over time.
Just the chassis hes running is in the $1000 range

If you’re going to replace the stock and barrel just buy the cheapest 457. If you plan to keep e stock then get the model with the stock you like!
@@Womfat thanks! You’re quick answering mate! So all the cz457 are having the same action?
Yes, the actions are all the same. The only difference with the MTR is the trigger is chrome , but they all feel the same

Next you’ll want a Fortner bolt...
Hi Matt, i am a new shooter, i am interesting with ur cz that u built, how much money did u spend to build like a rifle like yours? (Just roughly)
It’s probably around 4K CAD. The MTR, chassis and scope are all about 1K each and then the rest of the parts are probably another chunk
Just a heads up, your scope have 110 moa in total, and if you are using a 55 moa base, that means you are basically using the scope to its elevation limit, that is a bad idea, the scope will not be as accurate in terms of returning to zero, even if you did the box test, your scope will be more likely to have issues with that kind of turret elevation.
