I’ve seen a couple of your previous videos, but after watching this one I immediately became a subscriber. Your test protocol was literally the best of countless others I’ve seen: very similar rifles, identical optics, excellent target design to minimize aiming errors, good weather conditions, just one ammunition type, and a significant number of 10-shot(!) groups are literally nothing I’ve ever seen elsewhere. I recently watched a “test” of a dozen or so very different types of ammunition fired one after another in three-shot(!!) groups. In one string an inexpensive budget brand of ammo produced the smallest group-no doubt by chance-and the tester then pronounced that it was obviously the best. How anyone could take such an effort the least bit seriously is beyond me.

I just got the Ruger a couple months ago. Not sure if my 22" Ruger American Rimfire would've been any different with the results but even with the 18" barrel, your results were impressive. I initially thought shooting some basic 40 gr LRN from Federal would get the same results as 40 gr LRN Remington Thunderbolt but the groupings were different for both. Being new to shooting scoped rifles, I'm definitely finding out not all ammo is the same even if the ammo weight is the same. I was looking at a CZ rifle as well but already having a Ruger 10/22 and lots of the 10 rd rotary mags, I went with the Ruger to simplify my magazine stockpile plus I already own a few other Ruger firearms and I like their affordability and reliability. As for glass, I went with a Burris Droptine Rimfire 3-9x40 which I have zeroed pretty well at 50 yds. I haven't even fired it at 100 yds yet but maybe on my next trip to the outdoor range I'm a member at. Thanks for the review.

I have Ruger American 22LR wood stock last 6 years and all what I have to say is excelent riffle, especialy for price range. Btw Eley HV ammo is my favorite for rabbiting, precise and reliable expansion, perfect for small game hunting. One other thing about 22LR, whatever ammo or riffle you chose to use this is small, slow and not so aerodynamic projectile, so at 100m even light wind will push your round. On my rabbiting adventures I was learn to watch vegetation movement and compesate wind interferance. But no matter how good you are when you use 22LR for small game hunting keep your shoting distance under 100 m.

I own 2 Ruger Americans. The 17hmr and the 22 magnum. For the money they are excellent. I did consider the CZ, but the Ruger brand name and value drew me in. Mine don’t get babied. They have shot a lot of rabbits and the odd fox with both. I think the CZ in a wood stock is a much better looking rifle. I also like the switch barrel feature of the CZ (especially here in Western Australia with the uncertainty around proposed changes to our gun laws). Having said that, if our laws don’t change, I will happily keep my Rugers. Like Ozzie said, you cant go wrong with either. I also have a CZ Farmer in 22lr. Being an older rifle it has the longer bolt throw, so it means you need to run higher scope rings or the bolt hits the scope. Other than that, I love the CZ.

100 yards is where the rubber meets the road in my opinion. As a young boy I had a Remington bolt action 22LR and it shot 1 inch groups or less at 100 yards 90 percent of the time. For semi-auto both of these did good but I will continue to use my old bolt action because many of my shots for rabbit, ground hogs etc. can be 100 yards. I like CZ Rifles but prefer a wooden stock. The Ruger American stocks are just plain ugly.

I’ve owned a Ruger American Rimfire for a while now, at 50yds with standard velocity CCI it’s well within half an inch consistently. The CZ457 will usually blow it out of the water especially when you find the perfect ammo it likes best but for half the price you get about 3/4 of the performance with the Ruger with a much more rugged design in my opinion. The 10/22 and rhe American Rimfire are both very enjoyable but also very utilitarian guns and feel super solid in the hand, can’t beat those mags too.

If you were on top of your math...the average of the groups at 50 and at 100 in each rifle,goes to the CZ. Closer at 50 yards (CZ wins) however definitely for the CZ at 100. One or two grps with a difference of .1 inch to the RGR is insignificant really. If you can flinch one out of the group...you can flinch one into the group also!! I have more than one CZ in .17hmr and more than one Rgr rifle in .17. I know how RGRs shoot. I have more than one Belgian made T-Bolt Browning rim fires in .22 rim and they all will shoot an inch or less (5 shots) at 100 with non match ammo. Don't dare compare these rifles to Anschutz .22 rim fires or you will throw away/sell those two CZ's and Rgrs. I have Anschutz also. To bad the Europeans have difficulty in our US market. You get what you pay for. I believe that the Europeans can make great quality rifles. The problem is that to many people in America will purchase a new 4X4 Dodge, Chevy or Ford truck for $80,000.00 plus, hardly put it in four wheel mode yearly and then settle for "Tupperware" stocked rifles that "spray' the target and think that they died and went to Heaven. Having said what I have, I like Ruger rifles however in other models. Change to a match/after market barrel and both CZ's and Rgrs will amazingly shoot much better. I have done this multiple times and they ALWAYS shoot...very much like an Anschutz, so there is hope for you.

Against my advice my friend bought a Ruger American . When I went to have a shot with it, the fit and finish was so bad that I could hardly get the magazine to go into the Magazine Well. Talk about cheap and nasty... In all honestly you could buy a very nice second hand older Anshultz or Brno for only a little bit more than the new price of these two junk heaps...

I don't know about the measurement accuracy there, those hornady targets have a half inch grid on them so the .4 group would have to be well inside one of the small squares.

Yes the white colouration can confuse you as the groups are measured from hole to hole which is smaller than what it looks

No offense meant but math average shows the CZ CLEARLY beat the Ruger at both 100 AND 50 in this video. Aside from that, i have trouble understanding how any rifle could be more accurate at 100 than it is at 50..

I don’t understand how you get results like that ?? There’s no way that ruger could beat CZ I believe with different ammo the results would be different

Prefer the CZ. I use a 16 inch Synthetic for rabbits and range use ( suppressed ) Will happily group 2 inches at 150 yards when no wind. Takes foxes out to 75 easily. As a working tool it is rugged, should last me years. Not ammo fussy but best accuracy is with 40gn Norma/RWS subs. Or Hornady copper coat HP supers. Over two thousand through it now and no problems. Due to the bolt design can be dry fired without damage. Have tried the Ruger, stock felt cheap and nasty, bolt action not as smooth for me.

Don’t feel to bad about my CZ 452 , I shoot it at 100 metres and have a good group but sometimes have the odd flyer so was actually thinking of changing the CZ to another rifle

@@irishkelly654 Tried different ammo no luck , but then gave it a ultimate clean and I mean a good clean and now groupings are better. I have still seen some very good results with Lithgow la101 or CZ MTR but for the price I paid or the CZ 452 American £200 bang on for the money.

I have a RA 22 Magnum with the heavier stainless barrel and basic plastic stock, want a 22LR for subsonic rounds and cheap plinking. After watching reviews still swaying. The LR stainless version of my rifle, go for the lever release CZ515 or just get a cheap secondhand Norinco. So many options

Really didn't learn much since you only used 1 type of ammo instead finding what ammo each rifle likes the most but both rifles shoot good enough

Even between rifles of the same model accuracy can differ. I just got the 457 combo with 22lr and 27hmr.

Actually the CZ shot better both times. In assessing groups shot one looks not only at the sggregate average, but the most commonly repeated group size. In each instance the most commonly repeated group size was smaller with the CZ. Said by a guy who dies a lot of group shooting. Match ammo shoots better in both rifles, and said by a guy who has both you have here. Overall the CZ is about 40 percent more accurate.

I don't have a CZ, but my Ruger American is a flat-out great shooter - i'm the limiting factor. I have a Q Erector silencer at the end of it (my pellet guns are loader). I shoot either 45 gr CCI Suppressors, (rated at 970 FPS ) or 40 Gr Federal suppressor ammo, (also rated at 970 FPS). From the American both rounds are hitting about 985 FPS. My splatter target is in front of three 2x12 squares and behind those is a 20-inch x 1/2 inch metal gong The Federal round routinely rings the gong (shots clean thru the wood), the CCI's don't. The federals also shoot clean through a squirrel, the CCI'S don't, but the CCI's simply hammer it. I've seen squirrels stagger away from a hit by a Federal and then die. The squirrels hit by the CCI's, don't stagger anywhere, they die immediately. My American is topped with a Nikon 3x9-40 Prostaff scope. I 'd one day like to get a CZ 457, but they a scarce around here

I’m weird but synthetic stocks are working guns. As long as the accuracy is like these two I’d be happy with either. I still think wood stocks are target stocks but what do I know. That’s simply my opinion and to many I’d be wrong. CZ have some beautiful wood stocks. I have owned a CZ and the worst thing I ever did was sell it. I have a Ruger Charger and it’s a tack driver at 50m with the right Ammo. I’m happy with both guns. I think price might come into play with some people when the buy one. Also I’d have like to have seen some cheaper Ammo like CCI standard used. Eley is great Ammo but as expensive as. I bought some the other day. Had to trade a child for it 😂😂😂😂

I agree, here in the farm I have mainly synthetic stocks as they are work horses. As for the eley lol, yes it’s a bit more than CCI but I like to know exactly where my shots are going when I squeeze the trigger so for that confidence, I’m willing to lay a bit more 👍

Leaning towards the CZ, but that might be because its so similar to my Lithgow la101.
