CZ 512 Tactical in 22 WMR
By Chris Parkin
I have reviewed the CZ 512 semi auto in 22 LR format a few years ago and found it a capable rifle if not specifically anything innovative or unique. When you swap that to a 22 WMR it all gets much more interesting, and I treated the gun with significantly greater excitement. The 512 is a simple...

Yet another great CZ 457 Variant... possibly the best given the weight and stability offered.

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.

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...
How to clean a rimfire rifle
Cleaning a rimfire rifle shows similarities to a centrefire but does have a few different factors to consider. First off, it is to make sure the gun is unloaded and remove the bolt. You can treat these stages separately but it’s best to start on the barrel first so it can be `soaking` whilst attending to the other...
Choosing your CZ 457
Choosing your first rimfire is often a very exciting task so it’s good to do the background research and think not only about calibre, but which rifle will suit your hunting and shooting requirements best. The 457 action was an immediate hit as it combined all of CZ’s traditional manufacturing ethos with...

Rifle Safety – How I treat my rifles and shooting in general
By Chris Parkin
You are only ever as safe as your next shot and gun safety has to be both ingrained within your psyche as a shooter, yet never taken for granted that `autopilot` will cover you in all circumstances. I tend to follow the same rules and procedures throughout my work...
CZ 457 Long Range Precision Review by Chris Parkin for Gunmart - March 2021
CZ’s 457 LRP is a heavy fluted barrelled, target stocked variant of the core 457 multibarrel platform and although not facilitating fast changes, allows extra barrel kits. Here, the major exhibit is the stock, something a lot of designers get creative with but do not...
