CZ 457 Varmint MTR NRL22/PRS Build

[philosifizer]

I picked up a new MTR this weekend and am planning out my new build. I would like to get into NRL22/PRS in the near future, but for now it will primarily be for shooting off a bench to 200yds. I ordered an MDT ACC Premier Gen 2 chassis on Black Friday that should be here early next year. I am planning on ordering a longer barrel. I have been looking at l3i and Lilja, but am open to suggestions. I wouldn’t mind if it were threaded, so I could put a suppressor on it for when I’m shooting off the bench. I know many people don’t run suppressed for competition. Is it worth upgrading the mag well to a metal one while I’m at it? Which triggers do you like (Trigger Tech, Timney, stock CZ)? I’m also looking at scopes like the Razor Gen 3 and Night Force, but again I’m open to suggestions. Should I pair one of those with 20MOA rail or something else? I have an Atlas bipod on another rifle that I can use for now, but may pick up something dedicated to this build. Is there something else I’m forgetting?

Timney trigger and any decent scope. Leave the barrel alone until you see how it shoots.

Thank you, I’ll definitely have to check them out.

I have a bunch of CCI SV I shoot in my 10/22 and S&W 22LR pistol. I’ll definitely be doing some ammo testing to see what it likes. Any recommendations on where to order match ammo?

Look at SK ammunition. My wife gets good results with SK Match, a friend likes SK Long Range.

Timney trigger would work great in that. I had one in my CZ and loved it.

For optics the Vortex Razor Gen 3 is a great scope. I have one on my Vudoo and a couple on my centerfire rifles. I have the one on my Vudoo on a 40 moa base so a 20 is fine if that’s what you get. They just came out with a new Razor Gen 3 4-24x44 also which is only 32 ounces if you wanted to keep weight down. It also has a ton of elevation at 46 mils or 158 moa depending on which you wanted. Below is a pic of the 6-36 on my Vudoo so you can see it mounted.

That is a nice looking rifle. I was looking at that 4-24x44. Do you think a 20 moa rail is enough or would you recommend something more like your 40?

Thanks. If you plan on stretching it out then nothing wrong with going 40 moa. If you went with the 4-24 you could even go 60 moa but 40 moa is more than enough to reach out to 500 yards or so with the 4-24.
