CZ 457 and Lilja barrels

I was looking at the American 22lr with the 17HMR barrel combo this morning. This is what is on my radar for now.
 
You guys keep this up and I'll be buying a CZ 457.
Be warned, CZ's are like potato chips. Since they started shooting ARA at my club my centerfires are gathering dust. I can go down and shoot 100 - 150 practice rounds two or three times a week and not have to get a second mortgage on the house

Plain $600 Varmint with no mods at all with 700 rounds shot. $15 for 50 rounds random lot # Eley Match. This is not just not just one cherry picked group. It will shoot like this all day long unless I screw up the wind call.

Just put in a order for one. Can't wait to start load testing for it.
Suggestions:
- do the trigger spring change, it makes for a very nice trigger
- set your headspace close

I started with a CZ 455 and went through some bumps in the road. Once I got those worked out, I've been very happy with mine. Since added 4 CZ 457's. Most with 17 HMR/HM2 barrels for prairie dogs.
 
Originally started as a CZ 457 MTR. Only thing left from original configuration is the action and bolt.

New Configuration: .900 21" Lilja Barrel, PDC Custom G5C Rimfire Chassis, Timney Trigger (8oz), Area419 30MOA Base,

Are the 457s more accurate than the older models. I have a 452 and a 455.
I shoot long range silhouette,up to 400m 12"plate with a partner with a 455,are MD throws the hostage target at 50m to mix things up,455's are more accurate,like MTR,they kick ass,this we year go 500m,production and unlimited. Cz 457 varmint and arken elp5 just make it in production class,$20 under $1200,not many gun combos with 457 like accuracy can make that.
