CZ MTR Production vs $7K Modacam Open

Ойын-сауық

In this video we compare a factory CZ MTR Production division rifle in 22lr to a Modacam Custom Vudoo Open rifle build with the Nighforce 7-35 ATACR We perform a shootout comparison with no second takes or editing at 50 yards and 100 yards using Lapua Center-X ammunition.
IT IS REALLY WORTH BUYING A CUTOM RIFLE?

    I agree on tuning a truck axle size barrel. Lot test is more valuable. I wish I could recall a video of a benchrest guy that tuned his barrel for every temp and humidity combo. He had a notebook he for recording. I think it was EC that said he was always in tune. But the time and money would astronomical. The barreled would be shot out before then.

    I agree on the tuner and the thick barrel, additionally the tuner is on the barrel/muzzle. I've seen a lot more impact on tuners that are hanging like 2.5-3" past the muzzle. With lot testing at Lapua, I've found that a lot tested ammo shot equally well with or without the tuner. For now I am using my tuner for crown protection and a 8oz weight at the end of the barrel :)

    According to Eric the key to repeatability on tuner is you need to back to tuner past or under the value then back up to load the treads. His new design incorporates a spring to always put a load on the treads. I have his tuners and it does help with good ammo. Won’t help with bad ammo. I have it on my cz457 pro varmint and it does impact the groups. In fact it not only changes group size it shifts the impact …. With that said it makes me somewhat nervous about an inadvertent movement of the tuner during a match. I put witness marks on it to check but still a concern… waiting on my 457 MTR to deliver to shoot… wish NRL would change production from 1250 to 1500 like PRS. I can’t even run my Arken EP on my provarmint in NRL… I need to run my arken SH. I can see my bullet in the EP but not the SH… the slightly better glass in the EP helps… waiting on my vudoo as well.. will mount my mark 5 and run open with that one….

    I think this video and the CZ MTR in production division video should be a must watch for any beginner thinking of PRS or NRL competition. I think you fairly represent the "Indian" and the "ammo lot" is more the variable than just trying to buy the best equipment. One thing you mentioned advantage wise on the "open" guns was the ability to really have the adjustability fit the shooter perfectly which was a plus, another I think would be a trigger upgrade to get a actual match grade trigger. I think that it would be awesome to see you take the MTR and just do those two mods and see if they could help keep the stock barreled action competitive even though with those mods it would be shooting in open class. I really think that the secret to growing the shooting sports is to promote like you are doing it does not take a $6-7,000 gun to place near the top. These are great videos and you have gained a new subscriber here that loves seeing content aimed at the normal blue collar shooter that has somewhat limited resources to spend in their shooting hobby!

    @@charlesmckinley29 I think on a local club level in the beginner or "factory" class again to promote competitive match shooting to newcomers matches in which all the competitors used the same ammo which was controlled and handed out by the club at the beginning of the competition again would be interesting and allow those shooters which could not afford either the time or the funds to do extensive testing on brands, tiers or lot numbers of ammo an equal shot of hitting the lottery on whether their gun liked the ammo being fired. I think in the beginner ranks to get the new people interested they need a chance to actually compete and possibly place well and they need to be able to do so at an affordable price point and reasonable investment of time in preparing to shoot the match. A club level match using something like a club handed out mid-tier Eley Team, Target or Club (any brand of ammo could be used) would be great to promote a cost effective beginner/factory level competition that anyone could afford and parents may be more willing to invest a reasonable amount to even get their kids involved on a higher number level. I really think affordability can have a lot of effect on how successful or the number of entrants on beginner types of classes for a match at a local level. Ammo of course can be a big part of that and needing to shoot a high number of boxes of different brands and different tier levels of ammo to find something to be competitive is a big part of that expense. Hand out ammo limits that cost and if a club switches up brands of ammo from one match to the next with the brand to be used that day announced after the registration closes for said match even then it makes how the ammo may shoot out of ones gun a lot more random.

I believe your right if you want to shoot production class it’s the gun to get, put your time and money into ammo testing and you can be competitive in that class. I’ll come out and say it though; Those rifles are not readily available and therefore give an advantage to those able to buy a rifle off the shelf that has a match grade barrel and a stock that most people can get comfortable behind.

You may be able to use a tuner in prs22. Its just going to bite you at the worst time until you have tons of data.

Now the 1710 XLR 18 inch barrel again but 21 mm on the muzzle and it shoots lights out with or without the tuner which I think makes it harder to tell if your gaining anything with the tuner. On a side note the 1761 shoots well with a suppressor and the 1710 doesn't lol

    I always was under the impression that any barrel length past 20" on a 22lr was not going to offer much if any gain. All the powder is consumed in 18 to 20". Going longer can actually slow the velocity down. Yet the trend today is going to these longer than 20" barrels. Seems Matt is seeing a loss of velocity and the longer barrel's length might be the reason for it.

    There is a very long conversation to be had around tuners. Living in the upstate it would be a sit-and-chat discussion to explain my research. I'll simply say this here, biathlon athletes have historically used tuners. However they have different settings for different environmental factors. This means tuner DOPE and traditional DOPE working together.

    Thanks for the comment Noel and thanks for watching. There is no doubt that tuners work. However, with everyone in open class running the MTU, 1.20 and 1.25 barrels I think their effectiveness and repeatability is the problem. It seems many people doing PRS Rimfire and NRL22X are using the thicker barrels to get the balance of the rifle correct. Biathlon rifles aren’t 20+ lbs. Great comment.

    @@XRING I agree that heavy barrels suffer far less harmonic impact with rimfire in general. If there were to be any realized benefit the test would be to change the ambient temperature of the barrel steel. Shooting a baseline in January in the southeast and then fast-forwarding to July at Rifles Only or Gunsite would almost assuredly have the settings changing as the steel heats up. Though the shooter would see a shift due to the other environmental influences (DA etc). I also agree that as we all seek to ring out the last few percentage points of performance in our equipment, ultimately the final variable is us.

    Environmental makes a difference. I have verified this for myself. Tune in different temperatures and you’ll see the difference. Cold weather away from the shooter warmer weather towards the shorter. If you do enough testing you’ll find repeatability.

    A significant development in .22 rimfire ammunition will be needed to improve the accuracy of these guns. The different lot crap is getting old. An ammunition manufacturer needs to use high speed photograpy as well as presure gauges, and laser measuring devices to experiment until they come up with the answer. Most of the ammo leaves a lot of space in the case which isn't good. The bullets need to be optimized for harness and strictly held there. The priming needs to be done in a way which improves uniformity. With all that, the bullet needs to engage the rifling all the way to the rear of the bullet and the heal of the bullet needs to be gone. Don't know how that would be possible, but imagine the effect on the bullet if gasses are pushing out and sideways against the heal still in the bore when the back of the bullet that contact the rifling leaves the muzzle at a very slight angle? Now you have yaw and the bullet is flying in a corkscrew path while the bullet spin is trying to stabilize it. These guns are a marvel in technology and ammunition is the thing holding them back from their full potential.

    I cant say how a Tuner works on a 22LR Rim Fire...But I can say its a Big Plus on my CenterFires.I will run a EC Tuner Brake on all my rifles that needs one.I do have a 6.5 PRC that shoots so accurate that putting one on it hurt it.If mygroups ever get bad I will put one on it. I dont think thata 22Lrand a short 16 in barrel needs one.I may be wrong.Just my opinion from using one on my Ruger Precision 22 WMR. I run a Tunerbrake on,my 1.250 barrel 30 in long and my 35in 1.350 down to 1.300..It definetly makes difference.And in Altitude and Barometric Pressue changes from TX to GA or TX to KS from 30 ft to 1,467 feet it easy to confirm zero and adjust with the tuner.Its like cheating its so easy.

    Outsider looking in, so bear with me.....Did the rules for 2024 change reguarding aftermarket triggers? The 2024 NFL22 rules state that an aftermarket trigger is indeed allowed for the production class, the way I read it... The web site for 2024 rules state, and I quote: "This combined MSRP price ($1300) is for the rifle and scope only. It excludes scope rings and bases, bipods, suppressors, data card holders, magazines, spare magazine holders, auto bolt releases, aftermarket triggers, extended magazine releases, weight kits, hand grips, bolt knobs, and barrel tuners - these examples are considered accessories to the rifle." So perhaps the rules have changed for 2024? So confusing! Also, It would be nice to see a SEPERATE class for semi-autos, which would include the most popular 22lr on earth..the Ruger 10/22. Membership would double if there were a SEPERATE class for 22lr semi-autos! Just saying!
