    Why not, but don't expect a magic formula, the only way to do this and stay accurate is to use the same ammo (pellet?) and physically check it!

    Renewing is in effect starting all over again, the form is the same, you will just have to cough up for a grant rather than renewal fee.

    For pure stopping power out to about 200yards a V-max is as good as anything and better than a lot, the make is neither here nor there! SP or HP also work well but you will need to place then slightly more precisely. Frankly, at circa 1000-1300ft lb., you can put any .223 ammo you like in the right place and the result will be the same!

    Use the magnification that works for you, pretty much all my rifles from 12ft lb to 2,800ft lb are set on 6x. That does me fine up to 200 yards, I don't often shoot further than that (except target) and I can work at those magnifications, I know people who shoot in the field with 12 ft lb and won't use anything but 32x mag. Ammo wise, if you have a .22lr and a HMR may I suggest you find a sub that works in the .22lr and if you want more then use the HMR, 17g V-Max is the standard for HMR!

    I can't remember 100%, I sold mine about 5 years ago, it was a 3.5-10x50 WTC from about 1998/1999. I "believe" it simply said Made in the Philippines under the saddle, I'm sure someone will have an original and be able to check!

    PRVI ammo (Serbia)?? My .223, .243 and .308 primarily get fed 55g SP, 90g SP and 150g SP, PRVI. The rifles are all near standard, no shooting enhancements, .223 Tikka simple barrel cut, .243 Tikka out of the box, .308 Remington just barrel cut. They all deliver 1", plenty good enough for me for field work! With "quality ammo/home brews", they go in the same hole, but I have no need for that in the field! I seem to remember Howa used to guarantee something like 1.25" groups (do they still?), I would expect that or better from any rifle! Edit PRVI .223 SP £39.95 here! ht

    That's like asking us to chose a wife for you out of a Miss World line up! From my point of view bugger heavy, either vehicle or walking, never found any need for one for field work, but apparently you don't mind! So the answer is simple, get whatever you like, there isn't a CZ rimfire that will let you down! Edit Mod wise, on a .22lr SAK rules for good reason. There is absolutely no gain worth talking about spending any more on a .22lr mod.

    I think many people, including me have/had one of these. As a package they are hard to beat, but the fixed parallax at circa 100 yards (yes I know, you can take it apart and fiddle with this) and the 30 30 reticle did me eventually as my eyes went. A cracking scope just the same on probably rimfires rather than centrefires for most. At £40 for the scope/mounts as long as this is an early genuine Philippines scope seems a bargain!
  10. Deker
    Ha ha, get what you like, there is life out there other than Howa, some cracking Remington deals as well, etc., etc. Also get what you fancy weight wise and stock wise, everyone has the best rifle and many are happy to tell you, I'm sure you have noticed that, personally I'd say there is little between most of them. What is important is you get what you want/need, I have no particular interest in Stainless.....(BOTH my stainless rifles were financial incentives, I didn't go looking for them) and I have no interest in Heavy rifles, complete waste of time, money and energy out in the fie
  11. Deker
    Can't argue with that, I cut my teeth in competition work as a teenager and looking after equipment was drummed into you. I have a couple of stainless rifles but the majority of mine are not...there is no difference in the condition of any, they are all Better than the day they came out of the factory!
  12. Deker
    Im off to check them out tomorrow, I really want the tikka t3 varmint stainless but would not be able to afford scope cheapest I can get it for is £990 then tikka mounts etc £150 and wildcat Mod £190 way out if my budget but might be worth the wait... Or the £900 for full Howa set up, I'm sure once I see them in flesh I'll decide. Out of curiosity why a Varmint and why stainless? You don't have to spend anything like £150 on Tikka mounts, look around, and check out Sportsmatch... I got the Optilock first and then the Sportsmatch, NEVER again will I waste unnecessary money

    Ok, perhaps a senior moment and I couldn't see what was in front of me, and perhaps I should take back the highlighted bit .................... Punctuation did make a difference!
  14. Deker
    Does that say .........look for an accurate round instead of one that suits your rifle. That's what I was taught. Can you ask whoever taught you that what it means. Cheers! looks like deker is getting hung up on diction and punctuation!!!!!!! dont worry Luto we know what you meant bud. I was looking for clarification of the comment and it's meaning! I don't give a toss about his punctuation or spelling! look for a accurate round instead one that suits your rifle. Perhaps you can tell me what it means then!
  15. Deker
    Get what you want, but the HMR and .223 are very different animals, and Charlie isn't a fan of HMR I have a .223 and other centrefires (2 of them Tikkas) and a collection of rimfires including a HMR, I have a use for them all! Howa packages are worth looking at as well.
  16. Deker
    I've been looking about internet, the package did have mounts too but that was it mate. Can you recommend any good sites ? I'm going to visit a couple more shops this week too, I'm still on fence which calibre to get first out of the .17HMR and .223, seen a nice tikka T3 but would finish my bank balance off this month. Decisions, decisions, decidions.... I have never dealt with this lot so this is not a specific recommendation, but I'd say they are worth a look/phone call! http://www.czrifles.co.uk/ As I first mentioned, there will be few RFD who will not consider a
  17. Deker
    Unless there is a bit more to the story that hardly sounds an exciting deal. But if it has a scope it will have mounts as well! Sling, carry bag, ammo, cleaning rod, spare mag, etc.???? Just the same you can do deals anywhere, but maybe a good look round the web will be useful!

    Only you can answer that, I don't need them and don't have a problem, others will tell you they are! I don't generally take pics but this was for a new client so......

    If you use a .22lr for field work, and subs exclusively, there will generally be little advantage to regular cleaning. If you want to get involved in top level target work or use HV ammo a lot, then clean it! All my rifles get cleaned, and their mods, but my BA .22lr which is exclusive subs and field work gets cleaned least. My .22lr Semi gets more attention ..simply because it's a semi! If you zero your rifle with a clean barrel, and then in the fullness of time clean it properly it will retain zero and shoot straight shot 1, or shot 2 at worst (assuming the barrel/crown etc is true

    got the land and not up for renewal untill spring 2014, Apply early (NOW) for a renewal including a variation, so no additional charge!
  22. Deker
    As already said, moderators get personal and most will recommend what they own, the P8 COMPACT does the job for me, and on a .222 I would strongly suggest the COMPACT version . This has been up many times, my .223, .243 and .308, All P8 Compact!

    I am not getting into politics at all here, but how come it has taken you 30 years to notice the Tories tend to look after the rich and on the whole are spoilt rich public school boys? ..and you seriously think that idiot Milliband can do better, please, this is NOT a political statement, Milliband is an idiot period, and still would be even if he was leader of the tories or lib/dems, greens, whatever!

    Who knows really, by all means cover the past, they will have a good idea anyway, but I wouldn't grovel too much......... just my opinion...... it will depend what the FEO had for breakfast no doubt!

    I still have some but have never found a field use for them, mine have all been used in testing/demonstration. Most SG cartridges will be 11/8oz, contain 9 lumps of lead, each of 8.4mm and deliver in total just short of 2000ft lb. energy. (Why is shooting mixed full of Imperial and Metric scales?). Energy transfer at normal shotgun distances is good, over penetration becomes unlikely, and one or two hits pretty much anywhere you like will stop a fox. Close range they are devastating and energy wise it could be likened to being hit by 9 x .38 Special rounds simultaneously, the fact is 4
