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.

Theyre all solid options. The bergara is a remington 700 footprint so it can use many of the aftermarket options for the 700 platform.
The weakest point of the t1x is rhe factory stock. Its nice and stiff due to it being fiberglass reinforced poly, but it feels small and the buttpad is hard plastic. I bought an mdt ess for my t1x but then I put the factory vertical grip and a squishy buttpad on the factory stock and now I prefer it to the chassis.
The 457 with have the biggest aftermarket of the three and also the most factory models to pick from. If you want to focus on building a bench gun you'll probably want a varmint/provarmint or an mtr model for the match chamber.
