Thread: Nelson (or other areas) Benchrest Shooting

@Tentman I use a CZ457. Was an At-One model but I changed out to an Oryx chassis (and made no difference to my scores!).
Polished the CZ trigger sear, polished the bolt body, stuck on a Sightron Slll ED 45x45 scope, and a Lowey barrel tuner...and Bob's your uncle!
Those wee CZ's shoot very well, and not too dear new when compared to an Anschutz, etc.
The advantage to me for the chassis system is the ease of adding on the other bits (eg. front and rear bag slider).
Here's a few pic's of the CZ457 (showing the odd variation that I've tried). Currently has a wooden 'pencil' style cheek rest as that's what I like, and need as my buggered neck needs some support.
Made both the bag riders from aluminium, and polished them on a polishing mop (ex Bunnings) mounted in my drill press. All the polished alloy in the pic's is hand made with a hacksaw, flat and 1/2 round file, and time. Took maybe 3 hours to make and polish the bits.





Have gone on to a Farley co-axial (joystick) front rest now (had a Bald Eagle...but like the joystick control better).
Some folks just use a scissor car jack with a sand bag on top, and maybe a welded on base (an old disc brake rotor is common).
