Great video. I have had a Tikka T1x for several months. My Daughter and I shoot ARA Bench Rest and my daughter has shot a perfect 2500 score and was #1 junior shooter for 2020. The Tikka has shot many perfect scores in the ARA matches. I purchased a CZ457 AT-ONE and it so far has been shooting well for me. I like the extra weight over the Tikka.

Thanks for the review...I have the 455 lux. and now considering the 457 varmint (.22 Mag) I love CZ rifles because of the wood and blued steel. Its hard to find now days!

Good review! My 457 varmint is my favorite .22 next to the 457 American, which is also a fine rifle but much more finicky when it comes to the ammo used. The varmint version seems to do well with various makes of ammo, the American version not much. They are both fine bolt guns which have my attention now as compared to the auto loaders.

Great review and comparison, just business - no water. Thank you sir!

I agree with you. I just got the long bbl chassis version of the 457, and found the same results for ammo.

Fords and Chevys people are going to like one more then the other . I like everything that goes bang 😜 thanks for your video.

An honest and fair review. Thank you from the UK.

My absolute favorite gun in my collection is my cz 457 American synthetic suppressor ready. I love it so much I treated it to a Boyds at one stock a couple weeks back and omg its as beautiful now as it was awesome before. Oh an it LOVES aguila ammo which is cheap and makes me very happy.

Now this is a proper man’s test comparing two real contenders. Had to make this choice approx. Nov 2019. I ended up going for the CZ - the fit and finish just edged it for me (despite me already owning tikka .17HMR). Wouldn’t swap either of them for anything - phenomenal accuracy. CZ in .22lr gave me (a muppet) an out and out kill shot on a bunny at 104m

Great review, thank you very much. My dad taught me to shoot with a Winchester 63 that I'll also hand down to my son. I have a nice 1022 and an old Marlin 883 bolt action. The Marlin is accurate but the trigger is horrendous even though a Mcarbo trigger spring helped some. It's time for a new one when your range buddy asks "how do you shoot this thing" after he put 10 rounds down the smoke pole; he shoots a CZ 452. So this is where I'm at which led me to your informative video. I'm a wood and steel man but at my age with some health conditions need a light accurate .22 b/a so I will not discount a synthetic stock. After watching your video am leaning towards the CZ457 provided I can find one that's light enough with optics to be comfortable with whether walking around our place or shooting bench rest at the private range. I realize better performance is gained through premium ammo but will either/both shoot plain old off the shelf bulk ammo without harm to the rifle? Thanks again.

Good review! Thanks! I have the CZ 455 & love it. Have you seen any appreciable accuracy improvement in the 457 over the 455?

Thanks for the video and information

I'd love a comparison to the Savage mk2 FV heavy barrel. I know people that have had exceptional accuracy from the Savages.

Good. Honest review thanks.

Thank you very much for a great video - very informative. I'm researching at the moment for my first rimfire bolt action rifle and those two are my favourite. I had an opportunity to give a look on the Tikka T1x and CZ 457 Royal last Friday. I 100 % agree with you that the Tikka is very small - looks like a toy gun 🔫 and all the upgrades you've done on your own are the must have to be able to use it up to it's potential - seems like good platform - very well put together. The CZ 457 Royal - it's just beautiful piece of firearm the wood work is amazing and it feels just right in the hand. I didn't have a chance to see the Varmint version but I expected even better. Here in Ireland CZ 457 Varmint is very expensive €1000 vs Tikka T1x €670 is it really worth it ? - I'd like to have both of them. My choice is the Tikka as future competition rifle but at some point I'll get the other one also. Thanks for excellent comparison and keep up the good work.

Good review. Which one shot CCI SV the best at 100 yds?

Nice profile pic. That’s the sign from the Old Goat Pub in my town Richmond Maine

After years of cz ownership,from the 452,455 and now 457 IMHO they are built like tanks! Superb accuracy out to 200 y and beyond! The only mod I do to pre 457 is a simple trigger spring! I just love the caliber change available on the cz 455\457 also you can fit different length & style of barrels & lilja ones! Only thing I'm not crazy about on the tikka is the wire, paper clip like shell ejector,oh and plastic parts! The ejector on czs are more robust,steel trigger guard and parts and magazines available everywhere! Tikkas shoot well but czs are heirloom rifles, never had a bad one and I've had a lot of czs in my time!

Thanks man... Nice tools 👍

Hey Man I have just found your channel l like the way you present so I have subscribed I will search for your more recent videos now , looking forward to enjoying your CZ content . Aussie Steve .

Good content and thank you. I like both rifles but somehow the CZ was harder for me to get. I also ended up buying the Tikka T1x 22LR. I also owned the Sako Quad with the 22LR and the 17HMR barrels. The Sako Quad is my smiling rifle. 😄

I have both CZ and Tikka and they are both EXCELLENT rifles. You can't go wrong with either choice, they are SUPERIOR rifles for their price range and beyond with the exception of a much more more expensive custom rifle.

I just purchased a tikka and had a question, did you remove the plastic barrel support that screws in the barrel channel? I have always shot floating barrels and could see where that could be a issue. What’s your thoughts on it? Thank you for the video

Thank you, my friend! Very nice video as I just purchased a CZ 457 Varmint MTR.

I have both the CZ 455 and 457 American in 22 Lr. They shoot unbelievably accurately. You just can't beat CZ for accuracy.

Eley Match (black box) is the most accurate round I've shot out of my 457 Varmint. .312" 5rd group @ 50 yards. Not world class accuracy but I was quite happy with those results.

Hello, I couldn’t find the video you said covered what parts you put on the Tikka.

Hey mate, looking at both of these along with the Lithgow la101 22 do you know anyone that runs with that rifle and how it compares? Thank for you insight on these 2 as well. 👍

Thank you kindly sir :)

Would you be so nice and tell me the Barrel diameter at the muzzle and the Length of the Threads of the T1x? Thanks!!

I have the Timney trigger, Oryx chassis stock and Athlon Argos 6-24 Target dot scope on my 457. What a great combo! I usually shoot offhand indoor at 25 yds with CCI std vel and don’t see much difference in group size when I try eley or sk ammo.

Great job , thanks

Sorry, may I please ask the specifics of the two scopes mounted on each rifle - Tikka T1X and CZ 457? You mentioned the make but not the models. Also, why the specific choice in these two scopes? Thanks!

So which Gun is better in terms like reliability, longlivity and tough for the next 10-20 years+? Whats about Spare Parts? Is it going to be a problem Tikka in the next few years?

What's the model bipod on the T1X? I like that it has a handle on the swivel lock instead of just a knob.

Excellent review two very good rifles. What do you think of the CZ MTR ? It looks like a very nice gun. Keep the coming 👍🇬🇧

How about cz 457 jaguar? Is it any good?

Not surprised, I have 2 CZ's, they hold their own.

You mentioned not wanting the bang around the beautiful wooden stock on the CZ. Are you allowed to wrap the gun in the base class to protect the stock? Might seem kind of cheesy, but I would feel the same way about not wanting to beat the wood to death.

I got a CZ 457 at one 24inch version incoming, but just got another email notification the t1x on the waiting list is back in stock, with a price difference less than a hundred compared to CZ. What a beautiful day, I am gonna have them both

Are those the cheek pieces for the Victor 10/22 Titan stock on your T1X? I've been contemplating getting those for this very purpose. Looks good.

I picked the Tikka t1x mtr rifle for myself

the classes are determined by how much you spend or the MSRP, because that can be a big difference

Many people are so uptight about their equipment for NRL22 Truth be told NRL22 don’t require that good of accuracy From Vudoo or MPA22 Or 2500 bucks scope Thank you for providing honest review Happy shooting

Cheers Mate!

They sure have changed since I bought my CZ452 Lux back in the early 90’s. It’s been a great little rifle for rabbits and squirrels, just wondering how it would stack up against the newer versions?

Bonjour, Je possède quatre CZ (Jaguar, thumbole yellow, Précision trainer et Mini sniper) et j'en suis très satisfait. Vous m'avez donné envie de cette Tikka, peut-être mon prochain achat. En tous cas, merci pour votre vidéo, j'ai adoré. 👍

Is that Vortex Diamondback Tactical the FFP or SFP model?

Could you share a link to the accessories you uave on the tikka please?

I just hit the 457th likes button, and I put deposit on CZ 457 beech wood stock just yesterday at local gun shop. Today is 24th Dec. Merry Christmas everybody!

Tikka if they still come with Sako barrels. I got a Tikka T3 in 2004 that came with a made in Finland barrel that shot great. If Spock had a rife it would be a Tikka. Now days I think there a lot of rifles in that price range that shoot MOA.

What is the overall length of the tikka

Just purchase a CZ Jaguar. What bipod are you using?? Thanks. JimE

What cheek riser do you have on the Tikka?

CZ should cut you a couple royalty checks lol.....just bought a 457 MTR. Great video !

Two amazing rifles.

What scope do you have on those rifles?

What cheek riser is on the tikka?

I subscribed because of the name of your channel.

Great comparison. Any additional info on the cheek riser on the Tikka would be appreciated. Thx.

Which one of the guns, would you grab first, for hunting small game? I really like the look of the CZs. But as a leftie, they lock me out. Tikka will eventually make a left handed version. It's a shame CZ wouldn't. Is the market for left handers really that marginally? They did make a great left handed version of the 452, but it's rare to find one in good condition. Many has cut down their barrels to 16 inch.

I ended up getting the 457 pro varmint and it seems to shoot well with all ammunition so long as it says SK on the box ;P 6 different types of sk tested and they all group under 1/2 inch but it really seems to do well with standard plus and pistol match (I am suspect it does well with the pm ammo due to the faster burning powder that cart uses in combination with the 16 1/2in barrel)

CZ, my brother and cousin and I have owned many they shoot the SK very well as well as the standard velocity CCI. Very much sub MOA.

Its weird that almost everybodys t1x likes rifle match and ceter x. I've tested my t1x with everything I can get in Finland which is over 35 different types. I tested everything at 100 meters with 5x10 groups. Mine didnt care for center-x or rifle match at all. From lapua best were Polar biathlon and Biathlon x Eley: Match, Tenex, Tenex Biathlon, Sport, Edge were all phenomenal, with thenex and match consistant sub moa 10 shot groups. From SK only the new long range match produced acceptable results from 100 meters beyond sub moa-1.5moa. And it is my go to round for price/performance. There is no reason to test 22lr at 50 meters because everything nowadays shoot great at 50 meters. Its only at 100 and beyond where you really start to see differences. My setup is Steiner m7xi 4-28 msr-2, spuhr 4901, tikka t1x, krg bravo stock, atlas cal bipod. For me the tikka was a no brainer since I had a t3x before, so it was an identical trainer. Also in Finland aftermarket parts are way easier to come by than cz. If you want a switch barrel, go cz (or sako quad), otherwise t1x.

I have two 457's and a 455 and have owned several 455's. Never shot the Tikka T1, but when I hold it, it just feels cheap. CZ's just feel right in your hands.

i’ve been wonder how the t1x would do against the new 457 synthetic varmint? synthetic vs synthetic! i put a mtr barrel in my synthetic stock and it’s crazy how much more accurate and consistent it is…

Which cheek rest is that on the Tikka?

Started watching and heard you say "0.8, so half a pound". I thought 0.5 was half, which would make 0.8 (of a lb) 12.8 oz right? and not 8 oz. Am I wrong? what am I missing?

The 5 round Cz mag is for hunting.

Pitty,the CZ is behind Tikka ,so we cant see her. But thanks for the video.

Would like to get my 453 back

Any issues with case extraction on the Tikka?

I have both rifles. The CZ is a much better rifle. The ONLY thing that the Tikka does better is the trigger.

VERYGOOD I FROM THAILAND verygood

Is that a factory cheekrest on the Tikka?

How many bullets in the groups?

I appreciate your review, but I am confused, according to the groups of both rifles the most accurate is CZ 457 (@100YDS; CZ .617" - TIKKA .819" / @50YDS; CZ .127" - TIKKA .269"), but you use the Tikka for competition ..., I don't understand why use Tikka and not CZ which has greater precision?. 🤔 🇨🇱

I have a problem getting second

I love both of these rifles, but i wish they would make them in left handed. Thats unfortunatly keeping me out of competition.

I'm going with the cz

Plinkster, Plinkster he's my man.

YOU can get a CZ with a 28 inch barrel the longer barrel makes shore all powder is burn but more important it give you more projectile stability for XLR SHOOTING .

I gotta cz 452 american in woodstock such a beautiful gun wood and steel, 50 year old design , i think the cz is better in rimfire but center fire tikka ,

My Tikka must be newer. It has a aluminum bolt shroud and the magazine is different. Not as long.

Would you shoot CCI mini mag in either one of those guns?

CZ has used the same magazines since the 452! I have each too in the left handed version and dislike the Tikka Magazines more than the CZ Mags!

I HAVE BOTH, PROBLEM SOLVED!!🤷‍♂️😉😂

No groups? -- what is the video for then?

Same CZ mag as the 452

What about the 457 At One?

👍👍👍

Why can’t remington or Winchester make a .22 that can compete these guns. (Savage maybe but ugly).I have 2 457s and love em, but I feel like a bit of traitor for owning them. Just me?

CZ 457 is simply AMAZING!!!👍

Wow my feelings ....wow your are smart....lol

Bring back more beautiful wood stocks I'm so sick of cheap plastic and the stupid ar looking crap

Someone with no head told us nothing.

Please don’t make a comment about other great KZfaqr do your comparison

CZ

.

I got bored, since you did not shoot, or show any targets.
