The rotational force applied to fasteners securing the receiver of a CZ 457 Long Range Precision rifle to its stock is a critical factor influencing accuracy. Proper application of this force ensures consistent pressure between the action and stock, minimizing variations that can affect the barrel’s harmonics and point of impact.
Maintaining the correct fastening force prevents shifting of the action within the stock, which can lead to unpredictable changes in accuracy and potentially damage the rifle. Historically, inconsistent or excessive tightening has been a source of frustration for precision shooters. Modern torque wrenches and established manufacturer specifications provide a reliable method for achieving optimal and repeatable results. This careful attention to detail contributes significantly to the rifle’s ability to deliver consistent long-range performance.
