Buy recommendations Need help with buying decisions

I have a sako s20 308 with a vortex viper gen 2 5x25 50mm, i want to do some high volume shooting practice to be better at local competitions and better myself in general. 308 being quite expensive i want to shoot 22lr to practice. I was thinking of getting the tikka t1x ace with a smaller version of the same scope i have 3x15. Should i go with a b14 or a cz 457 and is the scope idea any good.

The Cz457 is a really nice platform.

From experience, none will feel the same as your S20. But when practicing the fundamentals that doesn't really matter IMO.

When buying an optic for it find something with the most amount of adjustment that fits in your budget. You'll find you need a lot more with 22LR to make hits at range. I run a Vortex Strike Eagle 5-25x56 on my rifle because it has 110 MOA of vertical adjustment.
