Cz 457 mtr best after market barrels

[600-60x]

There’s four different barrel manufacturers that I know of making barrels for the 457
22 lr need to pick one
what do like for bench rest

I’ve owned 3 Lilja’s all .900 dia. A 21-23-24” all shot very good. The 21” in my Manners stock rifle was amazing.

Whiddens in Nashville, GA can supply you with about any manufacture barrel that you want for a a CZ 457. They aren’t cheap.

I have 3 Lilja's- 22LR, 22Mag, & 17 Mach2. They all are very good shooters.

Criterion

I have a Lilja, great shooter. Not on a bench rest.
Buddy has the same Lilja and loves it too. Great people to work with.
He has a Criterion also, says it's shoots just as small as his Lilja.

Criterion or Muller prefit from Whidden’s.

I have a Lilja 21" as well that's already won and placed in a couple of Long Gong matches, haven't even tried to see if it's precise yet, but I will be as soon as I can get time from work

I am running a l3i on my bench gun and it shoots very well if you find ammo it likes.

I have a Lothar Walther barrel, 26", from Whidden. Shoots my old lot of Center-X quite well.

 

[kyotekiller25]

I've got a 18" Bartlein on my 457. Good enough for me and able to make hits out to 500 yards on a 20" plate with about a 75% hit rate with SK Long Range.

Here is a factory barrel MTR 20" with SK standard plus

I've tried Lothar, Lilja, and L3i . Of those the Liljas have been better shooters. I think I have had 3 or 4 Liljas and they all have been good shooters. So my choice would be Lilja.
