^^^^^^^^Great gun!
There are 3 with "buy now" around $1500 on GB. Not sure if that is a good price.Who at the Mill can order one ?
If availability is low I would consider spending a few bucks more on a vudoo v22

that's an ass rape price. it's a $600 rifle.
looks like prices have gone up substantially. last year the mtr version was like 650ish and the regular varmint was around 499.The regular one is $625 but the MTR is like $865.
I’ve been thinking of getting the Bergara B-14R Trainer Barreled Action and then putting it in another PDC custom chassis to match my Bergara BPR17 PDC Comp Chassis that’s in 6.5 CM. That’s why they call the B14 R the “Trainer”. It completely mimics a Rem 700 bolt gun, down to the magazine, which is a 10 shot single stack built within the same dimensions as a standard short action AICS mag. That means you can put it in any rifle chassis designed for a Rem 700 short action and get the exact same look and feel as your center fire chassis target rifle (even down to using the exact same Rem 700 compatible trigger). The Carbon fiber version is $750 and the PDC chassis, upgraded to match my 6.5, would be $1,040. Not sure I want to go with $1,800 for a .22 LR, but given the cost of 6.5 CM ammo (still don’t have my reloading bench setup for 6.5) and the fact that .22 LR zeroed at 50 yards and shooting at 200 yards does a pretty good imitation of the 6.5 zeroed at 200 yards and shooting at 500 yards, I just might do it.How does it compare to a Bergara b14r? Been thinking of getting that or the 457 rather than wasting money on a 308.
When incorporated into the HP a1657cDoes it come with a video card?

it is peculiar how your barrel looks like - nothing like mine, and a shape is not same. did you swap it?I have a couple of CZ 457's and a pair of Bergara M14R's. ( I almost bought a Vudoo but didn't want to wait 5 months for delivery. Besides it seems they are still working out feeding issues on the $3500 three60 model) , Anyway, after some trials with various high end ammo, I'd say that my stock Bregara's have a SLIGHT accuracy advantage over my stock CZ VPT MTR ( at 50/100 yds). The MTR is ammo picky while the Bergara's tolerate with a wider range of ammo. That said, any of them will hold better than I can on an average day. The MTR's are VERY scarce and commanding crazy $ these days. The good news is that CZ 457s are as customizable as a Ruger 10/22. As an option you can buy any CZ 457 and build it the way you like for (usually) equal $. Here is a pic of a recent match chambered .22 457 project that started as a 457 synthetic in 17 hmr. ( It's in teh CZ varmint stock now. I did have it in the MTD chassis until reciently) Total investment was well than a factory MTR.. This one shoots lights out!
Yes, as I said, the gun started as a synthetic 17 hmr ( American). The barrel you see is a IBI SS 22" match . 22 lr (with Olympic contour muzzle) . This final set-up is not all that unlike the factory Varmint MTR . It's just a little more forward balanced. Having owned both, I'd say they are very(!) close in accuracy but the aftermarket barrel does add some weight out front. I like this set-up allot (and more than the VPT MTR it replaced. Here is a better pic of the barrel.it is peculiar how your barrel looks like - nothing like mine, and a shape is not same. did you swap it?

cannot complain about accuracy at a 100 - 7 hits down there. if a bergara or voodoo does even better - all the best to them.
of a one thing i would like to change - it would be nice to get a flat trigger there.
