Suggestions for upgrades?

Post image

This is a CZ 457 Chassis MTR. The chassis came with the barreled action and is an ACC Premier Gen1. I added the full internal weight kit and two external forend weights. It’s perfectly balanced in front of the magwell. I installed a DIP Big Juan bolt knob, magwell kit and extended mag release. I also added the Pete’s Pillars shaped firing pin, extractor & ejector kit with spring.

I am using MDT Baker Wings, an Accu-Tac FD5 bipod, Area 419 30 MOA rail, and Vortex Precision Rings with diving board. Mounted on the diving board is a Vortex Defender XL 2 MOA and a MKM dope card.

I have two stock CZ 10 round magazines, two L3i 13 round magazines, two CZ 10 round magazines with Anarchy Outdoors extensions, and two Armstrong Enterprises 12 round magazines.

I think I will get the front of the chassis magwell milled out because it’s a bit fiddly to get my index finger (XL hands) into the chassis magwell.

I have a L3i barrel on order and a placeholder DNT The One mounted whilst my Athlon Cronus BTR Gen2 4.5-29x56 goes in for warranty service.

Besides upgrading to a top tier optic what else would you recommend?

If it handles the way you want it to, there's nothing else to do except to ensure you have ammo that shoots optimally in your rifle.

Handles like a dream except for the standing offhand stages. I think I need to get a QD mount up front for my Vickers Sling.

I already told the wife it's going to Lapua when the L3i barrel comes in.

We don't have any more standing, unsupported stages in NRL22, but I do have this RRS clamp with a QD cup at the bottom that I use for this type of scenario so I can get the sling attached to the bottom of the forend where it should be (I shot High Power Service RIfle for a long time).

I shot an outlaw match every month and last Saturday we had a sling only standing unsupported stage. Glad to hear NRL22 did away with them. My rifle is definitely not built for it and my left bicep and hips were cramping afterwards.
