Thanks! It was a rough day but I like to show it all

Yes sir...cant always have a good day. Thanks for watching

@@PursuitofAccuracy has the action smoothed out better or still tough to close the bolt without losing point of aim?

Haha i definitely miss

@@PursuitofAccuracy good to know you are human 😄

Haha yeah it can suck at times

Thanks

I actually dont use strelok but i did for this video because beginners dont usually own kestrels

I cant say it was a lot of fun but better than the dentist 🤣🤣

I am a frequent flyer on suck airlines 😆😆

It sucks for sure but even the best rifles sometimes dont quite work out

@@PursuitofAccuracy agreed. Just frustrating getting those lemons with premium products because I’ve tried out a similar model Of a fellow shooters and it was fun to shoot with inexpensive ammo to boot. Saved up to buy one for myself and it was a disappointment. At first I thought it was something else like just proper torque settings, ammo selection, not setting up the scope properly, proper or Break in methods, making sure the stock is not the problem, is the headspace And chamber ok or the barrel is properly floated or do I need more Bedding, was the crown was undamaged... etc...But after about 2 mos of trying to figure out how to get it to shoot like a rifle in its price... just accepted things for what they are and gave it away. At least no more stress in figuring out what was wrong. 😬

Yes sir thank you

Yeah Jon is a super good guy. I was less social then usual taking the beat down all day lmao

@@PursuitofAccuracy lol no worries …. Hope to get to shoot w you all again soon

Thanks Chris I appreciate it. I had some better stages off camera but it was a struggle all day. At least I wasnt lonely on the struggle bus 😁😁

Thanks

Just go in and have fun! My first match was last month and I had a blast! Being prepared makes it more fun though!

Don't overthink it. Having good numbers is only half the battle. Finding out how to shoot off each of the props and build a stable platform is far more challenging to beginners. Go to your first match with the incentive to learn what to work on, not to compete and you will have a better time.

Im still working on it but I think its gonna work out fine.

@@PursuitofAccuracy and working on them is half the fun 😉

@@SEAKPhotog oh yeah

Yes sir, thanks

Awesome

Yeah the data is completely necessary when the targets arent very big haha

Thanks Tim

Hey man! Was nice to meet you! Would love to see the videos

Good info, thanks brother

It was humbling. It showed me how easily I can get pulled off my mental game. I let the early stages get to me and found myself making bad shots and building bad positions all day

@@PursuitofAccuracy ye sir especially when u know and we know ur way better than that youngman!!! Now get on ur Game and fix Dat riffle! A+😁 🐴❤️🤠🇨🇱🍻🎯👀

Haha he was probably up to no good

Yeah the mental part of the game is pretty big

I had a vague idea but i didnt use my kestrel for this match to confirm anything so wasnt sure of lead or actual dope haha.

Sounds like a plan

Thanks

They dont have shims. Its threaded and uses a barrel nut. Ibi has a great video on how to do it on their youtube page

Definitely

That whole situation wrecked me. I finished 6th in it last year

Yeah lmfao

I really like the video format you have done here, with a combination of footage of you shooting the stage and scopecam - that’s just great 👍

Thanks lol

Haha appreciate ya watching

I was hoping it was a bad dream. Haha

Yeah a little prep goes a long way haha

@@PursuitofAccuracy especially on a bad day but we learned and move on next time we do better well I hope question when are you going to shoot slugs with your impact m3 that I would like to follow and learn I'm curious greets from the Netherlands PS that's a cool rifle you got 😁👍🏻🔥

@@glennshobbiesenzz awesome. Yeah im shooting the javelin 40 grainers out of my m3 for prs. Its been a good combo

My replacement should be here very soon and I will be filming a stock vs prefit vs custom barrel video which will hopefully help decide what route is the best option for you. To answer your question though it was 16 twist straight taper barrel

Practiscore is the best place

Yeah might be a few weeks

Much as I hate to say it the mil reticle vortex recon is a great little 22lr spotter that wont break the bank

Its a 16 twist. Its headpaced by the barrel nut as this is a standard threaded barrel

@@PursuitofAccuracy Thanks Josh, I was confused with the CZ setup for headspcing. I had heard rumors that IBI may be offerring a headspacing option for the 457.

Hehe it gets us all brother.

I staked mine and it fixed it

Right at around the turrets area

@@PursuitofAccuracy thank you 👍

I didnt. KZfaq doesnt like gun modification

Its called a scope chap

I do hope that you update how the barrel continues to do.

The bergara in this video is a brand new barreled action its only ever been in the mdt acc.

I appreciate the video, I would love to see how well the ibi barrel ends up doing after the break in.

Awesome man. I know lots of guys running them with great luck. I do believe they are great rifles......but i usually end up with the worst of them, my luck is terrible

@@PursuitofAccuracy I tried some Eley Benchrest Precision today in my Bergara. Shot 1/2 moa at 100 yds. I did notice that the bolt was a little harder to close due to increased rim thickness with the Eley. My 10/22 also loves this ammo.

I have pretty much given up on SK products. There is always one or two fliers out of a box of 50. We had our first 50 yd bench rest match last Saturday. Used the "green monster" target. No one piece rests allowed. My old H&R 12 shot really well except for three fliers out in the 8 ring. Good hold, no wind.

Yes. You need a barrel vice and action wrench

I knew that 457 inside and out. Benefit to having time behind the setup for sure. Last year I finished 6th with the 457 and very few matches under my belt

I did. Nothing was shooting out of the factory barrel that great

@@PursuitofAccuracy Midas + shoots really well out of my gun! Keep up the great videos glad you got something working for you now with that new barrel! Good luck with the rest of your matches this year.

@@bigfishercody thanks so much

22" 1.25 straight taper 16 twist

@@PursuitofAccuracy Nice! I'm just about ready to order one. Would you stick with the heavier contour again for NRL22 use?

I still got a 457

@@PursuitofAccuracy thank goodness. You make CZ 457 shooters look good, myself included

Yes, I am on the 457 bandwagon too. But is nice to see Josh building another rifle and see how it stands up to his old Cz 457.

Ibi took over duece......i think we wont see any uktimatums for quite a while

@@PursuitofAccuracy I know, I bet quality and customer service is going up! Ryan Stacey will get if done!

Haha well with you showing up i might as well expirement....you been killing it brother

@@PursuitofAccuracy thanks man. Blevins told me I wasn’t welcome back in Kentucky after the match Saturday 😂

@@cbeck517 haha same goes for NC.

@@PursuitofAccuracy That’s cold. I haven’t signed up for the next one yet but gonna try to make it.

@@cbeck517 haha just messing. Im going to MO until november so I can escape your wrath 🤣🤣

I still have a 457. Just want to bring content on all the platforms

@@PursuitofAccuracy ah, ok ! Good idea, diversify !

Desert precision gun works......

Thanks @@michaelficarro2591

Backing out the firing pin assembly 1-2 full rotation counter clock wise will reduce bolt lock. Profiling the cocking ramp with a less steeper slope and high polish helps. Best upgrade is to add a 30 degree bevel to the bolt locking lugs. My recent video I made show cases all these mods and can now operate the bolt with one finger

@@EagleEyeShooting can I send you the bolt assembly for you to do these mods?

As im moving the rifle or when im shooting?

@@PursuitofAccuracy When you're getting in position and the scope cam is on the perspective is shifting like it's loose on the eye piece. The reticle is all over the place instead of staying centered like in all the other scope footage I've seen. If there's a lens in the scope cam maybe it was messing with your parallax and causing some of the issues you were having.

@@MMBRM its just the gopro trying to stabalize the image with all the movement

@@PursuitofAccuracy That actually occurred to me as well but it didn't give you an excuse!

Ah right 👍

I was happy with the cz but wanted to be able to share other rifles

Out to 200 yards for sure.

@@cbeck517 I've had guys first round impact 450 because of just switching to applied ballistics

@@Andyontherange no doubt. I usually only have to tweak past 200 and it’s not usually more than .4 off at the further distances. Thankfully most targets in rimfire matches are usually tall at those distances.

I have a 5700 elite with AB. But because time was a factor and I knew id be unprepared i figured id shoot it how most start shooting their first matches. Left the kestrel, plates, and my other bags at home and just winged it

@@PursuitofAccuracy ahhh ok I understand! It was a great video none the less

Yes but also jury is still out. Being able to headspace it yourself is a big benefit and having that weight of the barrel helps balance the rifle well.

@@PursuitofAccuracy Agreed, I want to send mine to Kenny but not having it for 2-4 months is a killer so I was looking at IBI for a potential increase in accuracy/consistency and then your video appears. I will be following to see how it goes.

I will keep shooting it seeing if it shoots in

@@PursuitofAccuracy it will, they seem to prefer SK and Lapua ammo in my experience and Tenex.

Oh nice. Vod is a great place to shoot

I saw that

The bolts get better with use. No it won't be a Vudoo all said and done. But my Carbon actually improved in accuracy at about 1200rnds in. And I've had pretty good success on stuff requiring speed (fast bolt manipulation). Mine is 2 years old and has about 5,000 rounds through it.

@@DFOOSKING good to know

No sir

Mike called me out and I plan to do it once I get settled in at MO

I did a call out with Joe already. Joes a great guy

@@PursuitofAccuracy THANK YOU..!!!! I LOVE TO SEE JOE SWEAT....!!!!! GOD BLESS YOU AND FAMILY ... DOUBLE G. HERE ..!!!!

@@PursuitofAccuracy , WELL BROTHER...!!! I'M EXCITED TO SEE THIS CHOOTIN MATCH ...!!!! DOUBLE G. HERE...!!!! THANK YOU FOR THESE GREAT VIDEOS...!!!!!!!

I still got one

@@PursuitofAccuracy haha your the reason I bought mine ! Your original manners stock is basically the reason I bought my cz ! I loved the look of that gun

@@Midpackshooters its a great gun. I will always have one

Why not

🤣🤣

I hear ya there
