CZ455 vs Ruger RPR rimfire

Two of my absolute favorite rifles. Great review!!

Good, fair review. I shot NRA silhouette for years, and now shoot the occasional Rimfire Precision match. I never had a target 22lr that liked a clean barrel, they all did better with fouled barrel. I would shoot one ammo type, bore snake the barrel, then shoot at least 5 if not 10 rounds of the new ammo to foul the barrel again before firing test groups. I bought a CZ 455, which came with the boyds stock, and I had to sand out the barrel channel for a true free float. That may have been an issue with yours. I finally changed the 455 over to a MDT chassis and it tightened the groups up a bit more. With SK rifle match ammo I can now count on groups about 3/4 MOA (+/- 1/4") pretty consistently. BUT, I do see guys doing well at matches with the RPR Rimfire. My favorite is a guy I've shot with whom uses a Savage model 94, and the dang thing LOVES Blaser ammo...... Truly, he shoots one hole groups with Cheap ammo. Lucky SOB....

Great video & comparison. Thanks for doing it. I've seen folks weigh their .22 cartridges and then shoot the ones closest in weight (surprising the variances), for more consistency. I'd love to see this comparison done again, but with the cartridges selected and used, being the ones that were all the exact - or closest to exact - weight.

Great review thanks. Always appreciated

Thanks for nice video and information. In trying my RPR, I found it prefers stardard velocity ammo. My groups were the same shape. The size was larger due to a 70 year old body. But, it is fun trying.

"Insanely expensive for .22LR" Fast forward to 2021....

Thank you sir for the review. I've been looking for a .22 lr bolt rifle and hadn't considered the Ruger until now. Stay safe and continue providing the great videos.

Thank You Sir! I could watch this test several times without being bored. I noticed the CZ trigger seemed to have less movement. I am interested in trying the various ammo in my Savage Arms trainer purchased from CMP so long ago. I will face the same challenge to mount a scope.

Great comparison Ray! I am really happy with my RPR.

This video has definitely made my mind up for me, was thinking about purchasing the Ruger, now am definitely going to get one...

Yo Ray, thanks for the fair and what sounds like an unbiased review. I enjoy that there is no marketing just the facts. Keep up the great work and wishing more prosperity to your channel. Mahalo

My first rifle was the CZ 452. At 50 yards with Wolf Match Target I shot a fly that was annoying me while target shooting. I have an inexpensive bushnell scope on it and have found SK or Wolf to be the best ammo for it. I do agree with your points favoring the RPR over the CZ though. Thanks for the comparison .

Back between 2005 and 2010 I shot thousands of rounds of .22 LR. I noticed that when changing from one ammo to another it would take between 10 and 20 rounds before the new ammo would settle in and shoot to its potential. I believe that was due to differences in bullet lubes and "seasoning" the bore. My favorite and best shooting rifle is my CZ 452FS. Awesome shooting rifle.

I got the RPR based on your comparison from this video and am extremely happy with it.....Im getting good groups with the american eagle ammo ......although its favorite ammo is the federal match

Excellent review sir, it answers some of my questions.

Just tested my AR22 I built with a CMMG 16 inch barrel tonight at 100 yards, cci standard velocity at 100 yards was a 1 inch group! Eley target was also very accurate. My Ruger RPR 17 HMR is a tack driver also, sold my Savage A17 because it would not group. Love your videos!!

Great video Ray. I like the RPR all the way. Have a great weekend and be safe. Thanks for all the great stuff you do for the channel.

Thanks, Ray. Very informative. I am wondering if you'll be looking at the CZ 457 Varmint Precision Chassis in the near future. The MSRP is a lot higher than the RPR, though. I think it's $999.

Thank you so much. Great review for a bunch of us that would not like to invest so much in a rifle for just fun. I particularly like the fact that you tested them at 100 yards. I hear so much that 22lr are no good for 100 yard shooting but I dont enjoy shooting a rifle at less than that distance.

Good video. Thank You for taking the time to make it and post it.
