In Factory class ARA a lot of shooters do touch the stock and with a firm hold.ARA is benchrest, the goal is for the shooter to not touch the stock, only the 1 oz trigger. Any adjustments are done with the rest.

The top Five in National A-Line points shoot with a firm hold, shoulder and all. I use a firm hold with one rifle and free recoil with another. I’m number 5. With Factory guns you don’t have a heavy stock with a wide, flat forend, or a super light trigger in most cases.Where do they finish in the competition ?

try some tac 22 and lapua center x both my varmint pro and my vpt-mtr like those at 50 and 100 yards after 100 the tac opens up i shoot the center x out to 250 yards with good results (1" at 175 , 1 3/4" @ 200 and 3" at 250I picked up a 457 Varmint 22lr about 2 weeks ago. First trip out, I tested several loads at 50 yards. Guess which one did the best. Yep the cheap Federal Champion 40gr Solid. Eley match was not very good. Have my trigger spring coming and will repeat the test after a good cleaning and trigger job. My point is do not assume match ammo will outshoot others. After some more break-in, it will be interesting to see how these shoot. BTW, love this 457 varmint, it is by far the best 22lr shooter I have owned.
Man! That's shooting! Put that in the open class...100yds from a sporter like that?? Shoooo weeeeMy 457 Varmint is strictly a bench gun, 50 & 100 yards and Benchrest sillouette. A Yo-Dave trigger spring at about 14 ounces, a 15 MOA Area 419 rail, a 40X Muller Scope and a 3" bag rider. It can't beat the best Match Rifles like my Walther in BR but more than holds it's own against any factory rifle. My best 100 yard bench rest is below. I wish they all looked that good but it is a factory rifle. RWS R-50 and Lapua Midas+ are it's favorites but SK Rifle match does fairly well also.

The Varmint does have a match chamberI just picked up a CZ 457 Varmint in .22LR. It's doesn't have a match chamber. Does this mean I can't shoot "Match" labelled ammo through it? I'm not familiar at all with anything other than bulk plinking/hunting ammo for the .22LR, but want to learn.
The Varmint does have a match chamber
You are correct. However, there were some Varmint precision trainers with the mtr designation.The Varmint does not have a match chamber, only certain rifles have a match chamber.
Match Target Rifle designation. MTR
You are correct. However, there were some Varmint precision trainers with the mtr designation.
Thats because inexpensive ammo is inconsistent.The match chamber is not that big of a deal from an accuracy standpoint. I replaced my standard varmint barrel with an factory match barrel and noticed barely any difference at all. I was hoping that it wouldn't be as finicky with the ammo but that is not the case.
Some CZ's at least the ones I have are very picky with ammo. CCI std velocity, eley club and pretty much all inexpensive ammo shoots very inconsistent in my rifles. Center X and high end Eley works well. The next best to date is the RWS 50 that was being sold a few years back. I bought a ton of it.
