I have several rimfires including an Anschutz. I was never happy with my CZ 455 American as it shot accurately but threw flyers with almost all ammo. 6 months ago, a shooting buddy put a Lilja barrel on his CZ 457 MTR and sold me his factory match barrel. With the MTR barrel, my CZ now outshoots all my other rimfires and no flyers! Groups at 50 yards are consistently in the .2s and .3s with relatively cheap Norma TAC-22 ammo. If I were to buy another rimfire, I would buy the CZ 457 MTR. Just my personal experience for what it's worth!
You indicated in an earlier post that you have a bench gun coming and are more interested in casual shooting with this one, if i read your posts correctly. With that in mind I would forgo the Vodo as it is really more of a target rifle and also quite competitive on the bench. As a 50 and 100 yard benchrest for score shooter and match director in both Factory Class and Match Rifle Class I have seen quite a few different rifles in both classes. In Factory Class the CZ's and Tika's seem to be the front runners especially the CZ 457 MTR. I shoot a CZ 457 Varmint with a trigger spring change and am competitive but the MTR is just slightly better, especially at 50 yards where wind reading is not quite as critical. Match grade ammunition is a must where I shoot and my CZ likes RWS R-50 the best. Attached is a one time target with the CZ at 100 yards with R-50 to show what it can do if everything is perfect. YMMV. Good luck.

I have experience with the CZ 455 and 457, Bergara B14R, and the Vudoo V-22.
If you want something that looks and feels closely to a full size rifle, the Vudoo is the answer. The B14R is not far behind it, and is pretty close in accuracy.
The CZs can be very accurate but feel like a standard 22 action. For a long time, the CZ 455 got a lot of range time but now I shoot the Bergara most of the time.

Buy a Vudoo with a Mueller or Shilen ratchet barrel and don't look back!

Yes put my MTR Match barrel on a 457 Donner Action in a Chassis, lights out shooter with SK Std. plus.
Shoots CCI std. Vol. and Tac-22 with less flyers.
I set the head space on the tights side of .042.
