Took my CZ 457 .22 mag to the range a while back and shot it off a Harris bipod and rear bag.
First shot was half inch high at 50 yards, the next into a decent group below.
Checked and the bbl not free floated. Let it cool, same results.
Last yr I zeroed it off a front bag, not as far out along the forend, and it shot well.
So.....since I'm lazy and hate doing any wood work (have bedded rifles perfectly before but just don't want the hassle anymore)......
ordered an MDT field stock.
My .22 mag is a sporter 24". Now I could test the free float effect in the new MDT stock.
But the gun looks a bit silly and the rings a little low (usable).
So what does this all mean?
I have to work on the factory walnut and free float it. Ugh
And buy a CZ457 20" target .22 lr to put in this MDT stock LOL
