If you read my last article, you know the CZ 457 Varmint MTR is brand new to me from Midway.

I equipped it with a Vortex Diamondback Tactical 6 – 24x50mm first focal plane EBR-2C (MOA).

Sorry no rifle pics of my setup yet. 

At 24x, I shot my first two groups at 100 and 150 yards on Day 2 with SK Match ammo (No Wind).

I used a black magic marker to create aspirin size dot targets. Yes, I will compete in aspirin shoots.

100 Yard first ever groups below at 1.17 inches left and 0.73 inches right. Average is 0.95 inches.

150 yard first ever group below at 1.2 inches if I discount the lower left flyer. I could not shoot more groups as it was starting to rain. I was also guessing how much to turn up the turret. 

What did I conclude from this test?

First and foremost, my CZ 457 Varmint MTR is a real shooter with the Vortex Diamondback Tactical Scope!

Secondly, the SK Match ammo performed outstandingly well. 

Am I pleased? You could say I’m “Shut The Front Door” Pleased!

Much more to come…

Good Shooting!
