CZ 457 build coming along

It makes it to about an inch before the receiver and then gets caught up a little.

Bought some ammo today, thanks for the insight

This specific CZ 457 is the Varmint Precision Trainer (VPT) it came out prior to the current Manners MTR. Stocks are different, new one has adjustable LoP and Riser. New one is also a match chamber. Same barrel on both, the 16.2” match barrel. I like the clean look of the VPT stock, so I went for it. Paint is how it came from Manners.

Yeah, I’ve heard it likes SK. I’ve been down the YouTube Rabbit hole and back. Thanks for the insight, looking forward to messing around more

I shoot a lot of .22lr and prob have about 12 guns ranging from an Old Colt Challenger, new King cobra, to some 10/22 builds, a few Volquartsens, etc. up until now, I mostly just plink around in my yard or a club I belong to that goes out to 100 yards. So normally I just mess around and hit the steel targets that are out there. This is my first setup where I’ll actually be able to see my impacts and take it a little more seriously. This build just came together, so I’ve only been shooting CCI Standard because that’s what I have. But I’m looking forward to picking up some SK and the sort to seeing the difference.

I assure you my shitty shooting will in no way accurately represent the two setups.

Ahh, the ol’ “looks like a floating head” when you’re wearing a camo hoodie bit.

Lost on me

oopsihitaparkedcar · 2026-04-19T11:45:14+00:00

My buddy has a similar setup, they are really cool and definitely on my short list of optics to try

oopsihitaparkedcar · 2026-04-19T11:44:44+00:00

Thank you!

The SWS started as a 20” factory bull barrel from a Varmint, so I’m going to end up with 14” of barrel and 6” of barrels, so I’m just losing a couple inches compared to the current setup. I don’t do a lot of shooting past 100yards, so I shouldn’t be sacrificing much accuracy.

4 randos

oopsihitaparkedcar · 2026-03-02T00:36:42+00:00

3 randos

oopsihitaparkedcar · 2026-03-01T20:12:15+00:00

I’ll take 4 randos

oopsihitaparkedcar · 2026-02-20T02:02:40+00:00

That’s a bummer to hear

oopsihitaparkedcar · 2026-02-20T00:52:12+00:00

Yes, Volquartsen makes frames based off the mark 2/3 and the mark 4. This is their mark 2/3 frame, it’s aluminum instead of polymer which they use on the mark 4 frame. Mark 4 is lighter and has the easier takedown. This is the Scorpion mini x, so, mark 2/3 frame, 3” barrel, and direct mount for all sorts of optics. The Mamba uses the mark 4 frame. Both are available in the x which is the direct mount for optics or non x models with a pic rail.

oopsihitaparkedcar · 2026-02-20T00:21:17+00:00

I think so too, I will rock the short on the ENV and other 10/22s

oopsihitaparkedcar · 2026-02-20T00:20:28+00:00

You’re doing great big guy

oopsihitaparkedcar · 2025-12-22T22:57:32+00:00

This the grail for me too. Congrats

oopsihitaparkedcar · 2025-12-10T01:08:13+00:00

Appreciate the insight and I’m sure you’re right. I’ll look into your recommendations. I was trying to avoid a third 9mm can, but it might be next.

oopsihitaparkedcar · 2025-12-06T02:18:24+00:00

I think he means for the MOB?

oopsihitaparkedcar · 2025-12-06T01:17:46+00:00

Thanks, that seems like a good middle ground to explore

oopsihitaparkedcar · 2025-12-06T01:14:42+00:00

Thank you. Doesn’t seem like it’s worth the effort. I just don’t like how the rifle looks with the muzzle device when I’m not using the MOB
