Last week, I picked up a CZ 457 Varmint MTR. The MTR stands for match target rifle.
I spent a little time mounting a Vortex Crossfire II 6X18 on it and got it ready for the range.
Then my wife and the weather got in the way for a few days.
I made it to the range today. Not a great day weather wise. 39 degrees with a 15 mph swirling wind.
This was the time I had available so I went.
Here are a couple of pics of the rifle.
The trigger was light and crisp right out of the box. I haven't checked the weight but would guess it at about 2lbs.
Barrel length is 20.5 inches.
I had it sighted at 25 yards within 5 shots.
I took it to 50 yards and it took a bit longer to get dialed in but still under 10 more shots.
These are the first five 5 shot groups I fired with it at 50 yards after getting it dialed in.
The white target center measures 13/16 of an inch. There is a dime next to one of the targets for comparison.
The two smallest groups measure 3/8 of an inch.
These were fired with Norma Match. This was the only really good ammunition I had available.
You can easily tell when the wind stopped for a bit.
I need to learn to read the wind.
This one is a keeper.
