CZ 457 + TORIC ELR 34mm + ELEY Match: A Winning Combo for Precision Rimfire
At TRACT, we believe precision rimfire is about more than just hitting steel—it’s about confidence, clarity, and consistency. That’s why we’re proud to see respected shooters like Josh from Pursuit of Accuracy showcasing how the CZ 457 rifle, paired with the TORIC 4.5-30×56 ELR 34mm scope and ELEY Match ammunition, delivers a winning formula for .22LR precision.
Precision Starts with Lot Testing: Precision Rimfire
Josh’s video begins with a simple but telling exercise: lot testing ELEY Match ammo through his CZ 457. The results speak volumes:
- One-hole groups at 50 yards: Several lots stacked rounds into the same hole, proving the rifle and ammo combination can deliver match-winning consistency.
- Rejecting poor performers: Not every lot made the cut, but that’s the point—lot testing ensures you find the batch that harmonizes with your rifle.
- Confidence at distance: Even at 180 yards, Josh kept groups within 0.2 mils, showing how the right ammo and rifle pairing can stretch rimfire performance further than most expect.
This kind of precision is what separates casual shooting from competition-ready performance.

Why the TORIC ELR 34mm Stands Out: Precision Rimfire
Josh’s praise for the TORIC 4.5-30×56 ELR 34mm was clear and consistent throughout his testing:

- Unmatched Glass Quality: “SCHOTT HT glass clarity” is how Josh described it. At this price point, shooters are often surprised by just how crisp and bright the image is.
- 100 MOA or 30 MILS of Elevation Travel: Rimfire shooters dial more than centerfire competitors, and the TORIC delivers the adjustment range needed for NRL22 and PRS-style matches.
- Competition-Friendly Design: Locking turrets, smooth parallax, and an elevated dial position allow shooters to stay on the gun while making adjustments—saving precious seconds in a stage.
- Refined Performance: Josh compared the TORIC favorably against other optics in its class, noting its smooth operation and premium feel.
For Josh, the TORIC wasn’t just impressive—it was so good he plans to add another to his second competition rifle.
Seeing Bullet Flight: The Competitive Edge Precision Rimfire
One of the most powerful advantages Josh highlighted was the ability to see bullet flight and trace through the TORIC’s glass:
- At 100–130 yards, he tracked bullet paths and made quick corrections for wind.
- At 180 yards, he stacked hits within two-tenths of a mil, proving the optic’s clarity helps shooters stay connected to their shots.
- In competition, this matters: seeing trace allows shooters to correct misses mid-stage, often deciding whether they finish on the podium or further down the leaderboard.
As Josh put it, “If you miss and don’t see the bullet flight, you’re pretty much lost. Seeing that bullet in air is going to be a huge help.”

The TRACT Difference: Direct-to-Consumer, Direct-to-You
Perhaps the most telling part of Josh’s experience wasn’t just on the range—it was when he picked up the phone.
In the video, Josh calls TRACT and is immediately connected to Jon, the owner of the company. No call centers, no endless transfers—just direct access to the people behind the product.
That’s the TRACT difference:

- Personal Service: Whether by phone, chat, or email, our team is accessible and committed to helping shooters get the most from their gear.
- Shooter-First Philosophy: We design optics for real-world performance, and we stand behind them with real-world support.
Josh summed it up perfectly: “When you can call up and talk to the owner of the company, that’s got to be good for us as shooters.”

The Winning Combo
Josh’s verdict is clear: the CZ 457 Rimfire Rifle, ELEY Match ammo, and the TORIC 4.5-30×56 ELR 34mm scope form a winning combination for precision rimfire. Together, they deliver:
- Consistent, one-hole accuracy
- Premium glass clarity to track bullet flight
- Competition-ready adjustments and design
- Direct-to-consumer value and support
