    if you measure side on from the front of the fox to the back, there is roughly 10 inches. and 4 inches high. how can you not see that? hit a fox within that range and itll die :hmm: Yes, very likely, but it may take till next week!

    Hell, why wouldn't you try it? If it doesn't work for you PM me for my addresss and I'll take it off your hands!

    As usual... WHAT I HAVE! The fact is there are very few bad makes out there, (obviously the odd individual dog). It comes down to what you want and best suits your need. For example, xc10mike above, I wouldn't give that monster house room, because I don't need it, he probably would not want any of the tools I use, that doesn't mean there is anything wrong with the guns! I like and use light guns, I have no need for anything else in the field! My bog standard selection of .223/.243/.308, they do for me on the centrefire front!

    Oooh.... Nice!! Mk5/6?? Give me a couple of weeks and i'll make you an offer (bought loads recently so i'm a little skint ) Cheers, John Its GJ, so I understand that makes it a Mk V 1971-1974

    Yeah, its worth it. Whatever mod you put on a 22-250 it is still going to be noisy, but it's ******* noisy without one!

    Any make of .25 does not readily lend itself to much sensible use in 12 ft lb! 40-50ft lb in FAC, it may have a few more uses!

    Mine straight out of the box, note the similarities! :thumbs:

    i had a camo version of that with a shorter barrell carnt remember the name of the maker now Mine is the Magtech 7022 made by CBC in Brazil but its the same as the Mossberg 702, just £100 cheaper, mine only cost £150 BRAND new last December, Threaded and complete with iron sights! One or two other variations about!

    Never owned one, never will. Shot one, wouldn't group less than 4 inches I think at 50 yards, didn't try it at 100, didn't think it'd hit the A4 page. Tried about 7 different types of ammo in it. Told the young lad to bring it back and throw it in over the counter at the twat that sold him it. Pure piece of sh1t, he'd have been better off buying a shotgun. Yeah, I'd do the same with that performance, something was not right there! As I have said above, they are not as accurate but the difference is hardly worth talking about for field work. For the vast majority and a one time

    First off you have to ask yourself, WHY do I want a semi auto as opposed to a bolt action. If you can come up with a good reason then fine, get one, if not get a bolt, accuracy wise they are never as good but the difference is seldom worth talking about. They are harder to clean and more ammo fussy, and the odds are you will use twice as much ammo for no extra return, just because you can! I have both, and in honesty I can say my Magtech 7022 is great, accuracy is all I need for the field, it has proved very reliable and is very light, but it doesn't come out very often in anger, more

    Those flip up covers can help!

    i think about £150 trade, plus vat if my memory serves me right Not sure about the .22lr stock but the HMR (which is different in design and fitting) was around £170 last year! An option already mentioned is to scour the used market place, you may find a whole rifle cheaper, I suspect that will make an interesting variation application though!
  14. Deker
    The barrel is only free floating from that bolt/spacer to the muzzle. This fitting needs to be firm, but you also have levels of play in the stock metalwork fitting so you need to align them properly before bolting everything tight.. The bolt you mention does NOT lock against the barrel, it pulls on the round threaded spacer which is dovetailed to fit in a metal dovetailed section on the barrel. It pulls that and holds it firmly there should be no movement here.

    Ok, Its likely is the response, but thats the how long is the piece of string question. What is the rifle, barrel length, condition, what weight and type of bullet, is it a home brew or factory load, is it hot, etc, etc?. There is no answer without a lot more info, and if you have the info then you can load it into one of the various ballistic programs available for an approximate answer!

    I'm not following some of the die hard attitudes here about traps, and the gas being useless. Aluminium Phosphide is simply another tool in the pest controllers box. I have the paperwork and I use it, traps can be good to, both have a place and when used correctly, both are effective, and both can CLEAR an area. Suggesting Phostoxin or Talunex doesn't work is exactly the same as saying traps don't work, correct in both cases if you don't know what you are doing! Aluminium Phosphide is DEADLY, great care must be taken, and conditions MUST be right or forget it. The regulations

    Yes, but VERY few.

    That is far too general a statement and therefore incorrect. CZ rimfire triggers are not the best in the world on any model, back from the BRNO days to current. Just the same they are still better than some. In addition, some are ok, not all need work, but look at the package, you can always go on, why don't they use better wood (actually it's not bad generally), why don't they finish their synthetic stocks better, why don't they improve the bolt action, why don't they................... I point you in the direction of the post above... Weirauch, Anschutz, Sako, etc, I defy anyo

    Sportsmans prices Today both .17 HMR Cz American £365.99 Weihrauch HW60J £692.90 The Weirauch is Nearly Double the money, it will not shoot any better and it will not last any longer and it will not be any more reliable. Fact is if you want one then fine, I don't, CZ does everything I need, so I'm happy. Others may want a Weirauch, Fine!

    I believe I am correct in saying that only the 455 is available now with thumbhole/laminate stock.

    any gun is capable of wounding its the shot placement that does the killing not the gun. Yes, accepted, however if the Vmax load hits almost anywhere at the front end it's an outright kill... please before anyone comes back, yes I do practice, I do take care with shot placement and virtually always hit where I intended to.. I watch the shot hit through the scope... it's apparent later when I pick up, the damage caused by the round is enormous, it does not wound. Half a step backwards would be a good idea!
  23. Deker
    personally i think the margin is similar for both, as regards to a 22lr and a centrefire, because with a 22lr you have a very light bullet, if it isnt placed in the exact spots on a fox it can cause suffering, so you need to know your limitations, its similar with small centrefires such as 222's as the bullet is still light but isnt affected as much untill at a longer distance. you also have room for little errors as a centrefire will cause more damage, its all about confidence in yourself at shooting at longer distances, me personally would be happy enough to go drop a fox at 50-60 with a 22l
  24. Deker
    Try the CZ 452 its exactly the same as the 455 only its a fixed barrel,because everyone is going for the new 455 you should pick up a 452 a lot cheaper, I got one about 3 months ago for £320, it loves hornady 17 grain and shoots very tight groups at 100 yards, if you want a .22 get a dedicated one, its saves a lot of messing about changing barrels and re zeroing plus they are cheap enough, you would still need an extra slot on your FAC for the extra barrel anyway. Fair point, is the interchangable barrel the only difference? Nope, but don't get all wound up about that, and intercha

    lol i have the .22lr for that, well i heard that the tikka t3 is lighter and more durable with synthetic stock, i thought of a larger calibre for hitting those more distant foxes, and may also be able to shoot the odd deer if being a 243? It's up to you and gets personal of course. This will take any fox at 200 yards or more with the right ammo. How distant were you thinking of? Tikka T3 Lite more durable :hmm: I wouldn't put money on that! If deer are coming into the equation then a deer legal rifle obviously makes sense, and a .243 can be an awsome fox tool, but it's still a lot mor
