Hi Chris, really enjoying the videos. I have a CZ 457 .17 hmr and absolutely love it! I was wondering if you could point me in the direction for getting sling swivels as they’re only 3mm and struggling to source them. Cheers

CZ - 457. What is the expected distance of the shot,

Nice gun. Is this the cz answer to the tikka t1x mtr? I bought the tikka 6 weeks ago in 17hmr as i preferred it to the standard cz 457 synthetic. So far the tikka has been fantastic with incredible accuracy and i could not be more happy with it. On another note after much research and deliberation i chose 17hmr over .22LR and .22mag and as an air rifle user and hunting with for the last 42 years i always preferred .177 over .22 as it proved far more effective over 42 years of use and for the same reasons i believe 17hmr is the ultimate rimfire caliber.

I realize this video is a year old, but are these available anywhere in the US? I can't find one.

That's a bit expensive, I just bought the exact same rifle for $895 Australian which converts to £457.
