    Wow loved the video its like u said CZ was made more for bench shooting and tikka more for hunting 👍👍

      what would be really cool is if Tikka make a match chamber and a heavy barrel. i might just throw on a IBI on this Tikka

      @@EpikArms They released face lift version of t1x which have bit different ejection/feeding system.
      Also t1x hunter which is face lift with wood stock and shortened flush fit magazines.
      But i dont think they are planning to make bench/varmint version of t1x because that
      model is supposed to be a cheap and good enough for most purposes.
      Sako otherhand have that quad range version but it is very expensive and to my understanding
      just sako quad HB with heavy wooden range stock.
      Overally t1x is made for international sales in mind and corners were cut to get price
      least somehow competive level because Finland is not exacly cheap place to produce anything
      because tax and labor cost.

    Key reason to upgrade to the chassis. The ability to add weights to the fore end to balance the rifle for shooting off barricades.
    I have a couple of lead weights in my factory stock fore end, but there is limited to room to add any without major surgery.

    I really liked this video! Especially a follow up to the original! It’s nice to see what the difference a chassis can make! I’m still a CZ fan! But great content! 👍🏻

    idk man. 2:30 Your groups between the chassis and the standard stock on the whole is .85 vs .9 (or .73 v .72), that's barely an improvement at all. Tough for most guys to justify any cost for such a minimal improvement. The only meaningful improvement really was the centerX ammo. The rest of the groups of your chassis vs stock are all about the same. One good load is all you need to take your game to the next level, but being that it's a sample size of 1, who knows if that would even show up for most shooters. 18/19 showing no real improvement isn't great odds.

      I agree as 0.1 -0.5 is sometimes the difference between 2 groups within 1 stock. However, if the chassis stock is more comfortable while shooting competition then I can see the advantage as comfort = more consistency

    Interesting results.. that said i Love my MTR wouldn't trade it for the world. however i still plan on a T1X at some point... maybe ;) B14R barrelled action intrigues me!

    Gary Eliseo makes a chassis for the t1x and I think he was getting around 1/2" groups but he was cutting back the barrel and rechambering it

    Woox, MDT and Boyd's make the best chasis in the business. MDT like to put a lot of holes and lightening cuts in their chassis but they arent light weight at all.

    • @EpikArms
      @EpikArms  4 місяці тому +2

      @almostontimehero5415 i would dissagree for boyds. I own like 4 or 5 and 2 of them the holes were misaligned.

    Is the action in all CZ457s basically equal? I haven’t seen the MTR version locally, but I do believe I have seen a CZ457 American and a CZ457 Varmint

    • @EpikArms
      @EpikArms  4 місяці тому

      @stephenkarl1440 yes the actions are all the same. The mtr is this specific wood stock variant and thr match refers to the chambering

    Did you do the barrel brake in after 200 shots, or is this straight out of the box.

    • @EpikArms
      @EpikArms  4 місяці тому

      yes the Tikka has about 2000+ rounds throught it before this video and the CZ for the comparison at the end has 5000+

    T1x in a chassis vs T1x UPR? What’s the better route? That’s the video I’d like to see. Thanks for the great content

    • @EpikArms
      @EpikArms  4 місяці тому +1

      @seancoyle6463 the chassis would be bedded a but better than the upr stock. But likely have little to no effect on accuracy. The biggest advantage would be your preffered ergonomics and ability to add attachments to the chassis. For example on this xrs you a tripod to the arca while the upr you cannot. The upr is ergonomic and a very nice simple stock. But it's simple

      If you want to put a Tikka T1X in a different stock/chassis I would check out the GRS Bifrost.
      Amazing grip and all the adjustments.
      Can't go wrong matching up two nordic brands. 🇧🇻🇫🇮
