CZ’s latest rifle is the 457 Varmint synthetic which is destined to be a success with hunters. This streamlined rimfire is available in both 17 HMR (16”) and 22 Lr (16” & 20”) format and also compatible with any other CZ barrel kit. This cold hammer forged with a 1 in 9” twist rate for tiny 17 HMR bullets, it’s...

High magnification can so easily be seen as a benefit, yet I am a bit of a stickler for the benefits of low magnification and improved resolution, especially when compact is king. Element optics have certainly made a name for the high mag scopes offering all the latest mod cons like zero-stops, reticle choices, M.O.A. or Mrad...

By Chris Parkin
Yet another great CZ 457 Variant... possibly the best given the weight and stability offered.
CZ’s 457 Match Target Rifle or “MTR” has a great visual appeal for those wanting the latest mechanics yet still showing some of the classic looks in a material that will...
Element Optics Accu-Lite Mounts
By Chris Parkin
I can be very critical of scope mounting solutions but have very much liked using the Accu-lite mounts from Element optics for several reasons. With the growing mass of both optics, and additional components like night vison add-ons and large, long range illuminators, reliable mounts...
CZ 600 Range in 308
The CZ 600 Range immediately looked an exciting and adventurous rifle from this seemingly modest company from the instant I first saw one. It’s designed for shooters for whom precision is the priority and carries the most stringent accuracy guarantee of 3/4 M.O.A. (using match ammunition) within the entire 600...
Primary Arms GLX4 Series 6-24x50 FFP Riflescope
Any riflescope with a 6-24x50 specification is easily compared and contrasted with its direct peers who use a similar 4x erector tube to meet this specification in the same price bracket. What’s most interesting is how each manufacturer goes about making their internally similar scopes...

CZ 457 Thumbhole Laminate 17 HMR By Chris Parkin
It wasn’t so long ago that the laminate stock upgrade was a popular route in customising any action for which the correct inlet was available. CZ have set out with their rimfire to offer variants to suit the needs, stature and aesthetic preferences of most shooters and although fundamentally no...

Steyr’s SSG M1 has satisfied armed forces assessing its functionality and capability in accordance with their needs, so I’m merely reflecting personally on how it may apply to a civilian shooter’s desires and needs. The M1 shows a laterally ported muzzle brake capable of accepting an overfit moderator, tipping the barley...
PARD NV008S and NV008S LRF
I was lucky to bring an early version of the latest PARD NV008S night vision scope back from the British Shooting Show in February and have since received the full production version in both variants, one with and one without the laser rangefinder. Both units are class 3 laser products and fully certified safe to comply...

Trying to sum up the capabilities and variation across the FX range in one short article is an almost impossible task but I can quite understand why the Crown Mk II, Impact M3 and Maverick are at the forefront.
My experience with Impact Mk II last year drew me into the world of airgun tuning and in FAC format, this rifle was a...
