CZ 455 or Tikka T1x ??

[bogeycentral]

For those that have the new Tikka T1x, do you see any discernible improvement over the CZ 455? Reason I ask, is that I recently picked up a CZ, and before I go furterndown the rabbit hole of building it, I was curious on input. In all likelihood, I will likely not change the barrel on it to a another caliber. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

So far I have a Boyd's stock, Area 419 30moa rail, Anarchy bolt handle and Anarchy dragon scale bolt knob on the rifle.

If you get the right model, imo, Tikka's are pretty much perfect minus a scope out of the box.

3 holes overlapping with factory match ammo at 300 yards has me convinced and I've seen that from multiple shooters and Tikka's.

30moa rail,

On a rimfire?

 

[bogeycentral]

Yeah I love my Tikka T3x and curious if the T1x in 22LR is worth giving up the CZ for.

For getting out too 300y on steel with subsonic ammo.

I've owned several CZ guns and several Tikkas. The fit and finish on the Tikkas are better in my opinion, and the smoothness of the action is second to none. My only real dislike on the CZ's is the steel magazine. It feels cheap. Surely they could have done better.

My T1X in 17HMR shoots 1/2" at 100 yards consistently. Picking up my T1x in 22LR tomorrow, hopefully!
I have 4 other Tikka T3's also. All are half MOA capable. Best production rifle available these days IMHO.

Keep this going, still trying to decide what to get, Tikka, 455, or the new 457

 

[Greenbug]

Never could warm up to the backwards safety lever on the CZ's either.

Forward is fire, not safe!
Goofy Czech's!

Didn't know this was coming out but I've been trying to decide on a 22lr bolt gun for a while. Perhaps a T1x grey laminate stainless. Mmmm... Sounds sexy. I'd prefer iron sights as an option, but I guess I could go scope only.

Interested to here what the reviews are like.

I have a CZ455 American Combo 22LR/17HMR. It is super accurate and is a well made gun. I dont care for the trigger guard, so I'll replace that. Other than that, sweet gun.

I went with @Kruel J to look at a T1x the other day. We are both Tikka fans and we were both very underwhelmed.

And then some. I'd buy the 455 varmint over the Tikka.

The CZ 457 comes with the back asset safety fixed.
Forward is fire out the tube.
The 457 varmit has a nice stippled palm/thumb grip, and fore end.

Tikkas are nice too.

@Kruel J

CZ 457 Varmint - CZ-USA

You wouldn't buy either you don't like 22!!

 

[turq]

The one I read about and liked was the Pro varmit
Or MTR varmit
Or Pro Varmit trainer camo
No that wasn't the one; CZ has too many new 457 Models. How to decide?

 

[Greenbug]

That new CZ 457 AT-ONE looks nice for sure!
Looks like they finally fixed the safety too!

 

[Herb g]

I'd say six of one and half dozen of the other. What do they have in common? Off the rack quality/accuracy, and not made in America. For a young man building an arsenal, it's not Winchester and Remington anymore. One plus for CZ is the set trigger for rat shooting.

.17HMR dude.

Good to know.
