    Have you actually found anyone yet or are you simply inundated with everyone saying what a great offer if only......................?

    The vast majority of .22lr are 1-16 twist, on that basis many have suggested no less than a 16" barrel, that being one complete revolution, perhaps, but from the perspective of bullet stabilisation I have yet to see the science/physics. I have a lot of respect for Anschutz, won a few competitions with their first guns into the UK many years ago, so, if they produce 14" barrels I guess they work. Just the same I have heard many comments about not less than 16". There is also a lot of talk about .22lr having burnt all their powder in the first 12"-14", B******t, there are a LOT of diff

    I suspect you could count the number of people with equipment to home load HMR in this country on less than 1 finger!

    There are lots of videos on the web.... http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=fitting+trigger+kit+on+cz452&view=detail&mid=4C578118CCF3912F52244C578118CCF3912F5224&first=0&FORM=NVPFVR&qpvt=fitting+trigger+kit+on+cz452

    Yes, but I still wouldn't trust the engineering on a big/vicious centrefire. I have the latest model 30 Sidewinder, 6-24x56 on my .243! It's fine.

    That's what should happen at renewal, in effect you start again, but simply from the position you already have a SGC. If you had any issues previously they have already been resolved. Any NEW application for a SGC asks if you have previously held one, so they simply check records and should only be interested in anything that happened recently. There should be NOTHING different about a renewal to a Grant, except you already hold a SGC.
  8. Deker
    Unless you are convinced you don't have a use for a while then renew it. Just the same, why should you have a problem if you let it go and re-apply in years to come.

    There are a LOT more options than 16 or 20". As above, get what you need!

    No experience of this as I don't have an FAC but would it not be prudent to write down .22 Moderator rather than .22 LR Moderator? I understand many people use centrefire moderators on rimfire guns because they give superior supression. It would seem therefore that specifying a LR moderator would narrow your options. So question is this allowed to be just calibre specific rather than model specific? In fact I've heard of people even using larger claibre moderators. So again the question would just "moderator" suffice? Some people may, it is not common and very possible/probable

    Is there a difference, in what sense, where are you going on this? Wikipedia A footpath (also pedestrian way, walking trail, nature trail) is a type of thoroughfare that is intended primary for use by pedestrians, but not other forms of traffic such as motorized vehicles and horseback. They can be paths within an urban area that offer more expedient or safer routes, or rural paths, such as a trail through the countryside.

    As above, you really need to try different ammo to see what works best for you, your barrel and quarry. We say it all the time, what is laser like in mine may spray shotgun patterns in yours or vice versa! Even if you settle on one or two types of ammo now, try others again in the fullness of time as the barrel wears slightly, things can change!

    Triggers get very personal. My .22lr CZ Silhouette is original and fine, my last CZ WMR was fine, my latest CZ 452 HMR and WMR were awful and have had work. (my .22lr Magtech 7022 Semi has a trigger that feels like two pieces of sandpaper grating on each other and the pull lasts a fortnight, but the groups are remarkably good). My lads CZ .22lr Style is not good to me but he loves it. Don't rush into anything, get used to distances, ammo, quarry anatomy, terminal effect, scopes, reticles, etc., etc., before you go making wholesale changes to the gun! ATB! Advice appre

    I think you are missing the point...he told you did he or are you just assuming?
  17. Deker
    ....so what trigger does he have in there at the moment then?
  18. Deker
    Of course there not! You need to know the anatomy of your target species of course, don't just go throwing bullets at the body mass. Although as the calibre/energy/bullet type become more destructive even that can be allowed at times! For instance...... one bullet........... That is not a shotgun, it is one round from a .243 and as we picked it up, for clarity it is/was an adult rabbit, the rest of it is spread over several counties! What is important is stopping the quarry/pest species, head shots on some animals are positively frowned on, deer for example; except by the Game d

    60 yards zero with Magtech subs was 100 yards zero on CCI Velocitors in mine in years gone by. It isn't difficult to use 2 different types of ammo in the same gun without changing the scope, various reticles make this quite easy and all you need is a good memory or note book, others stick labels on the scope/rifle! Just the same my .22lr has been a dedicated sub tool for many years.

    I agree, I was thinking the same last night I would only be confident to shoot accurately up to 60m (for now anyway). I will try out some other similar ammo perhaps some eleys. Understood fully about not adjusting the scope, just trying for better grouping. It will be interesting to see if I get good groups at 75m. (will report my findings). I will also try some shorter distances with the winnies. Cheers... It's a .22lr kicking out circa 100ft lb with Winchesters, (these have a BIG HP and expand well, and commonly impart all their energy in the quarry), it isn't a 12ft lb a

    Exaggeration is common with Landowners about the scale of the problem (although not always). He is the landowner, he is the one that gives you permission or pays your wages, do what he wants or walk away!

    Tricky, as some people do have a use for them, but as above, and it doesn't really take long to reload! ATB!

    I'll have to ask the FEO where he got it from then Hawkeye Don't take it to heart, you will not be the first who has had duff info from their FEO and "fu**ing half wit" is very descriptive of the previous guy I had, and no doubt many others as well! Some FEO spout off with the authority of their job in the CERTAIN knowledge that few will have the balls to challenge/question them!

    Rimfire If you are talking about a .22lr dedicated sub sonic tool, then it quite straightforward and not required on a daily basis. HMR and WMR (did anyone ever buy a 17HM2) is more akin to centrefire cleaning. Yes, there are lots of kits or separates and solvents etc., available. Many topics here in History and may be worth a look.
  25. Deker
    There is all sorts of information all over the web about this, and from memory about 34 degrees gives you the longest range, there is no definitive list as there are so many types of cart and gun............. and wind, altitude, atmospheric conditions, etc., need to be factored in. 300 yards as mentioned in this thread is a GUIDE figure that I have known about for as long as I can remember, but it is just that, a guide, there are no Laws about this to the best of my knowledge!
