Probably not true benchrest but the KRG Bravo with flat bag rider is pretty close. Boyd's Pro Varmint is close as well. I have both and each are an improvement over my Varmint MTR stock.

 

Probably not true benchrest but the KRG Bravo with flat bag rider is close

IMO realistically the most accessible option for most people - I did the following with a Tikka T1X, same can be done with a 457:

Heavy ARCA rail to further stabilize the forend in a rest by weighing it down and further flattening it.
Grip weight - insert
Buttstock weight - insert
2 heavy buttstock spacers.
Bag rider

All items PnP from KRG - no skills needed, just money

The rifle weighs 14.2 lbs. - with a Nightforce PBR, 457 with a bull barrel would weigh another pound PLUS.

I also robbed my T3X Tac A1 of the Bixn' Andy trigger set to 5 oz, and this very well may be my most accurate rifle right now - more accurately the rifle I'm most accurate with - imo strictly because of its weight/stability.

Made this one. Very thick oak. It is heavy.

Thank you! Where did you buy?

 

I'm sure you can get one, the question is do you or will you pay the price for one?

Go to and email or cal Don Stith of Don Stith bench rest stocks. He has a web page.

You will still have to inlet the action yourself or pay a local smith or wood worker to inlet it for you.

The guy I bought my "new to me" CZ457 Varmint MTR went the frugal route of a br stock by a modified red/gray Boyd's AT-One stock with a piece of wood covered with ant-friction tape fitted to the bottom and an aluminum piece attached to the forearm also covered with a thick anti-friction tape. It doesn't look the prettiest but it sure served the purpose when we test fired it from a custom rest. I did put the barreled action into a nos CZ Varmint AT-One stock but kept the other just in case.

 

looks great.

 

Check with Chacon Custom in TX, I know they were working on one.

 

Are you looking for a drop-in or are willing to go the custom inlet route?

 

Drop in

 

What about a klinsky stock - parallel there -

 

I'm sure a 3inch plate on the forearm of the stock would work well for shooting off of a rest.

 

I found this while looking for one for the 457. No idea where they can ship though.

I couldn't find anything from the link...??

 

Just use a F class bipod such as a Sinclair or Tier 1. All the stability of a Bench rest at a fraction of the weight. I have a $$$ rest that weighs 30 pounds that I rarely drag out of the shop these days. I just grab t5he Sinclair instead
