PRECISION RIMFIRE BERGARA B14R & CZ 457 ( YOUR NEXT RIMFIRE )

I wish someone would compare out the box vs out the box

I always enjoy your video's. Once I recover from my recent burden of house repairs I am definitely saving up for a CZ 457. I really like shooting my 22's, but as of late I've been getting more and more into reloading and precision shooting with my Tikka T3X Tac A1 in 6.5 Creedmoor, but traveling to a range that's 800 - 1200 yards is not something I get to do so easily. I like the ease of ability to change barrels on the 457, I like the short throw of the bolt on my 22's, and I absolutely love the look and adjustability of the MDT chassis. 100-200 yard shooting is something I can do every weekend, so between the precision bug and access to short shooting range's this is something that is very do-able for me.

Just went down this road recently for my daughter.. decided to go wo the the pro varmint 457.. what many don’t know but CZ reps are on record of saying is the pro varmint is an mtr setup but at a fraction of the cost.. it’s the best entry level platform to start with the 457 especially if at some point you’re likely going to reach a point where the chassis and barrel might be swapped out down the road. It’s a lot easier to do that later on when you paid a few hundred less for the same rifle.. As for cost.. anyone going down the long road of swapping barrels and/or chassis you’re going to spend the same give or take at the end of the day overall regardless of which of these starting points you come to unless you start with the pro varmint then you’ll be $300 or so to the green.. but out the box that Boyd’s stock leaves a lot to be desired.. it is properly free floater though and being wood and bull barrel it is a good starter platform to get the basics.. (bipod, trigger, “will need to get the extended mag release! No clue why the factory one is almost recessed into the stock” and a tika cheek riser if you’re willing to drill the holes though the factory stock) the b14 is a really nice rifle but I don’t see it being any better a platform to work from then the cz. Especially if you get pro varmint and build off that action and barrel. The precision chassis is decent but imop not worth the cost difference and likely going to get reloaded anyways so I don’t see the need to buy it out the box when you could almost pick up an mdt for same cost difference. Reality is.. either one of these is more capable then 9/10 people who will purchase either of them. One last thing.. idc what trigger you can get in that 700 platform.. the timely for the 457 is really nice and takes 2min to swap in. Never been a trigger snob but after finishing my daughters build out the box it needed zero adjustment to creep or over travel.. the cleanest break I’ve ever seen and you can’t even tell you moved the trigger when pulling it and that’s at the factory presets.. for take up, pull and over travel..

Always informative...I have both rifles and they both shoot great, but I have more trigger time behind the CZ.

I wanted a 22LR Longer Range rifle to target shoot. Just setting up my CZ457 Varmint Precision Chassis. For me it was the best choice because a 700 trainer wasn't important. I like the 60 degree bolt rather than 90 degree on the Bergara B14R. Out of the box the CZ 457 trigger feels really good. Adding a Vortex scope with the Area 419 30 MOA adapter / Magpul Bipod & I'm done. Not expensive Vs the high end rifles.

I run a IBI barrel on my CZ 457 LRP and its fantastic! but I'm also in B.C. Canada and that's really the best/only option for aftermarket in Canada.

Hey, try leaving some ammo in the sun to warm up and see what groups you get with a warm ammo hot ammo and cold ammo. cheers mate

I have a 24" CZ 457 in their factory chassis and it shoots sub MOA all day long.

Great video Josh, I have shot both rifles, but CZ is the one that fits me best. Thanks for making these videos, helps to get the best out of my CZ 457.

I have each one. Different guns for different uses. B14r is heavier so I’ll use the CZ in the field for small game in addition to competition. B14r competition and elr.

Both great competitive guns at a close price point. B14 for me, 3.5k plus rounds and the bolt cycle resistance on closing has eased considerably. The tight open close is for the most part a head space shim. If you need to ease it from the get go then there’s after market shim kits available, easy to install when deep cleaning your bolt, $11.00 from memory. My mate shoots the CZ and I’d be happy to own his and he my Bergara.

Excellent video Josh, I really like your comment about the differences between both rifles 👍

I would like either but waiting on a B-14R because they have a LH option. Contacted CZ and they are supposed to import them at some point but not anytime in the near future that they can commit to. The Rim~x and Vudoo are out of my price range. The videos are informative and helpful.

ONCE AGAIN U HIT IT OUT OF THE PARK.... HONEST AND REAL.... THNX 4 ANOTHER GR8 VIDEO 🎯🎯

I have a cz scout that shoots lights out and my cz 457 22 wmr is a beast. I use to be a Remington guy but I'm turning,

Impressive shooting in that match

Good info, thanks! 👍🏻

Great video!! Thanks for all your hard work! It's appreciated.. I had a question on that little Prajekt13 case, you said you can customize it, what's the max amount of boxes of ammo you could fit in there?

I have both , but lean to th b14r because im left handed , much easier to shoot with a left handed gun. But hands down love the cz457 bolt !!!!

You make shooting at distances look so easy. Your a dang good shooter Josh. I need to get a hold of some quality ammo. Living in n.y. makes that a little more difficult . Thanks for the video.
