Wow! I’m more of a traditional (also old) shooter but I went to their website to look around after reading about them here. That is cool! Looking forward to your updates.

 

I did the same thing! I went to the website and was very impressed with not only their rifles but also the website itself. It mimics the ease of use of most holster manufacturers. I appreciate the drop down menus and ability to customize your rifle online instead of having to call/ email/ fill out a contact form.

 

Looks amazing! Congratulations and can't wait to hear how it shoots!

 

Very sweet!

Maybe just disguise your high end ammo in Winchester and Remington boxes incase you need an excuse.

 

Curious....which Shilen did they use for the build?

 

1:16 ratchet rifling 4 groove

 

Nice!!!

In for range reports.

 

I have to shoot against that on Monday mornings. Glad you got it back . Nice looking rig

 

Nice rig!

 

Gorgeous rifle! I'm typically a wood and steel bolt gun type of guy but these CZ 457 chassis system guns are starting to get to me...

 

Outstanding. Looking forward to reports!

 

congratulations, very cool setup

 

First time at the range firing Sk Std +.

 

Nice.......You are well on your way Sir!!

Keep the range reports coming...Thanks!!!

 

If I knew at that time when you ordered yours that I was going to end up building my own and waiting 6 months for a barrel, I would have just had DPG make one for me. I probably would have ended up with a Rimx though.

Cant wait to see how the rest of your ammo shoots.

 

Kenny does great work, I have a vudoo built by him and would love to grab one of his 457’s for my daughter

 

Range day with the DPG CZ457. SK Rifle Match, SK Long Range Match and Lapua Center-X at 50 yds. Love this build.

 

 

 

Sweeeeeet !

 

A guy in our club has one of these. It’s unbelievably nice.

Great build

 

Wow, I've heard people are very pleased with Kenny's builds. I wonder what the improvement in accuracy over a standard CZ of the same make and model is given similar ammunition, weather etc... Also curious to see if anyone has experience with the accuracy of a nice custom like the OPs vs. Rim-x and other more expensive options. I assume the cost of a custom CZ is near the cost of a Voodoo or Rim-x but still a savings. Curious in people's experiences.

 

No personal experience, but there are a few here that have DPG builds. I know Womfat's wife just got hers and says good things about it. The threading and truing of the receiver seems to make a difference, but not sure how much of one as I've never seen a side by side with say a Modacam prefit.

From what everyone says, a high end prefit and these DPG builds will definitely hang with RImX and Vudoo. Honestly, the only reason I didn't go this route was because I wanted an R700 footprint for stock/chassis options.

 

Beautiful gun. I've been looking at their builds for awhile.

 

Wow, great video. That build looks like a lot of thought went into it. That paint goes a long way to making it a special piece as well. Great job. Interestingly, they didn't cover the accuracy vs. other options nor the price difference. I assume this rifle is similar to RimX and Vudoo in both regards which says a lot about Kenny's work. So impressed.

 

I would imagine it's better than some pre-fit RimX builds and definitely on par with a Vudoo. Could be better than a standard Vudoo though.

 

I was going to order just a 457 barreled action from DPG but didn’t like the fact that it required full payment with a 9 +/- month lead time. I have quite a few flavors of RimX prefits and they all shoot very well and took weeks to get versus months. Will the DPG shoot any better than what my RimX can do? Doubt it.
That said, I have stuff at MCR waiting for a 457 build and a Vudoo factory barreled action coming in this week.

 

I only paid half down and rest just before delivery

 

To the OP, that’s a handsome modern build; and it seems to shoot very well.

In addition, you are a fine and consistent marksman. Good to see those detailed photos, captions and low-key presentation.

 

Still awaiting my own DPG 457 barreled action. Ordered it mid October 2023. I'm fairly sure it's going to be Kenny's in-house barrel, threaded fit.
The 457 with the Lilja on it is shooting sweetly enough so far this summer that I can handle the wait ... but I still feel kind of like a little kid waiting for Christmas.
I'm 60 years old for goodness sake!
