Thread: Tikka TX1 vs CZ 457

I have just been through the same decision. The T1x is a great gun. It is accurate, practical, feels like a big rifle and you dont need to be too careful with it. However, i have grown up around the old mans Anschutz 1517 and have always seen a rimfire as something that should be wooden, blued and a bit special. For me the 457 ticks these boxes and is why i ended up with a 457 Varmint in 17hmr. It has a lovely balance, great stock, adjustable trigger and is amazingly accurate. The groups below are with the A17 ammo (which if you read reviews is the fastest, but also least accurate ammo on the market) however the CZ loves it. The groups there are the 3rd - 6th shots through the rifle, so far from the barrel being broken in. These were of course at 100m.
I have thrown a Leupold VX3i 3-10x0 and a Hardy rimfire suppressor on.
