I took my first trip to the range with my new 457 MTR to the range today just to sight in the Arken EP5 5-25x56 scope on the MDT 20 MOA rail. I still need to order match ammo, but I was pretty impressed with the Norma TAC-22 ammo and even the CCI SV ammo that I shot. I only shot at 25 yards because I had three other rifles to sight in (2 of them were also CZ's). I'm pretty impressed with this rifle. I picked it up from KYGUNCO as a blemished at what I thought was a very good price, but it appears perfectly factory new. I'm guessing it was a rifle that was on their retail rack and just wasn't handled much. Anyway, here are the results:
Norma TAC-22
Best 5 shot group: .108"
Worst 5 shot group: .288"
Average: .204"
CCI SV
Best 5 shot group: .346"
Worst 5 shot group: .546"
Average: .461"
I was shooting with a bipod and a sandbag under the buttstock and there was about a 10-15 mph crosswind. I'll try to get out again mid-week and take it out to 50 and 100 yards. I'm very impressed with that rifle and the Norma ammo. We'll see how it does at longer distances.
