    Flippen 'ek, what is going on here, I can't leave you alone for 5 minutes without it going off can I, behave yourselves and get real! ATB!

    They don't shoot straight and dont stop things in my CZ, I still have about half the box I got from the Beretta Gallery (the only place that had them) when they first came out. Sure, they break up, possibly too easily, I took one apart and the head simply fell to pieces with very little pressure.

    Yes, I've got the 3-12 and the 4-16, they are ok! ..........................."I am not sure what rifle to mount it on ie .22rim, hornet, or my .223?" I'm a bit lost with your question, why did you buy it if you didn't have an intended use? As a rule use your best/longest range scope on the .223 and your worst scope on the .22rimfire!
  4. Deker
    Its a good versatile calibre, lots of ammo choice, easy to shoot and very capable on all your listed quarry. Always a decent used market for .223 as well if you want something for ALL deer (.243) at a later stage!

    That is a lot of foxes, numbers like that only occur when the land has not been properly managed, keep it up and it will be much quieter next year!

    I am not a trophy hunter and generally don't get many like this boy anyway. As a matter of interest does anyone know about BASC/BDS/etc measuring service, what sort of money are we talking and do you think this may make it at all. Cheers

    Anyone who considers the HMR an everyday 200 yard, let alone 300 yard tool, needs their Care in the Community Day Release canceling!

    picked up CZ 452 Varmint up tuesday ,zeroed 1"high at 100yrd and it was point and shoot from 30 to 125 yrd. i'm well impressed,and like everybody says trigger slightly heavy so putting mine right with a trigger kit,and no there not illegal.You wont be dissapointed. atb,pip So, at what distance is your HMR zeroed?

    This subject goes round and round. The Anschutz are excellent and well made, the fact is the CZ Range of Rimfires is unsurpassed for accuracy, reliability and price. People will buy whatever they want for their own reasons, but you will NEVER find you need anything more than a CZ Rimfire in the field, personally I hate the Heavy barrels, CZ are field tools, no need for heavy barrels, but some like them, simple as! Here's a few of mine.....

    FFS...ask the smart arse under which Law they are illegal!

    We all want what we all want for various reasons, but there is commonly an alternative, there are plenty of scopes VASTLY cheaper than the Z6i and frankly, for the majority of shooters, JUST as useable! I hate the Sauer anyway, just a personal thing, they appear to work ok. Why don't you consider 2 or 3 Complete rifle setups, and go and do some more research on that possibility! Changing barrels and zeroing is a pain, and remember you ONLY have 1 rifle at any time, other options give you 3 rifles ready to go!

    HW every time! The Twink works OK but what the **** is it all about, the size of a drainpipe, and have you seen the FAC Air rifle version, it's Massive! Don't know the BSA unit!

    As long as you can see a bit further than the HMR can shoot and it holds zero, then that's it. Anything that starts 8x and goes upwards is TOO high for me, but scopes and mag and reticules get VERY personal. Plenty of choice for the HMR, actually a VAST choice up to £300, and absolutely no need to spend that much either, but if you can/want to, then why not! PS I'm guessing you already have a scope though as this goes back to April, what did you end up with?
  15. Deker
    Target work is a minefield and many go the serious custom route paying loads of money. For General field use there are not really any BAD ones, it's simply a matter of need and expectation. My .308 is a Rem 700 SPS Stainless, mine is out of the box with X-Mark pro trigger, I have simply had the barrel chopped by 3", it gives me 1" with 150g PRVI SP and that does for me.
  16. Deker
    Optional barrel changes are commonly just simply a Marketing extension of the manufacturing process these days. It may well work for some people BUT 1 rifle one setup is the quick simple and surefire way for most.

    Over 3 years ago until todays reply! Someone has been trawling the history!

    Yes I've shot those cone nosed crackers a few times, I think I've still got most of a box left in my cupboard somewhere? Anyway they are very loud, and not very accurate if compared to milder HV stuff like Winchester Lazer and Velocitor,(which are GOOD). But also in fairness they are no worse than Stingers, probably a bit better. My experience is that a good subsonic through a decent Rifle/Scope will kill anything .22 legal with ease, HV is a little bit more powerful but really not very much! The only time I would consider HV on a regular basis is if I had a semi-auto to get better cyclin

    You don't say what your budget is? The rifle you're buying is perfectly good as it is with the factory length barrel. Why spend money on cutting down a BRNO (and probably reducing it's sell on value). Look just use it as it is with the moderator that came with it, then if you have the cash and want to upgrade get something 'better' at a later date when YOU have some experience and are better prepared to make a choice. .22's are pretty unbreakable and generally very good, just try it and see? AndyF That makes a lot of sense, get some experience and then make some decisions!

    hi michael. you can only can have 1 at a time here as far as i know. How does that work? .22lr and .22WMR are very different animals, is it simply calibre, and what about .22CF?
  21. Deker
    Yep, I have heard this about Yorkshire, and here's the really daft part, I have .22lr, .17HMR and .22WMR ALL conditioned for FOX, so, if I received an invite to shoot in the area I could perfectly legally go round shooting them whilst a local shooting partner could not. Perhaps someone would like to invite me, AND the Chief Constable of Yorkshire and we can demonstrate they work! Now theres a thought!

    Interesting...good to see Winchester doing well. It all comes down to what you/your gun favours. Eley always get a shout for their accuracy, but I have never found them anything special and they do NOT expand well in my experience. Put it in the right place and a deceased bunny just the same. I use Magtech 40g HP Subs, massive HP and expand brilliantly, these commonly get a bad press, I don't know why, they have been fine in my CZ forever...the first is exceptional, and the second is normal. 60yards!
  23. Deker
    Crumbs, this goes round...there is NOTHING illegal about shooting a fox with a .22lr. You may have some issue with the terms of your FAC though. Lets be realistic, there is NOTHING illegal about shooting a fox with ANYTHING as long as it is not seen to cause unnecessary suffering! If you got hauled off to court the charge would be causing unnecessary suffering/cruelty,..not he used an X Y or Z calibre which is illegal!
  24. Deker
    Not if you have the ANY OTHER LAWFUL QUARRY condition!

    I never found anything to be very good in HV for the .22lr, very possibly the best overall performer in mine were the Remington Yellow Jacket HP, flew fast, hit pretty hard and were reasonably accurate, but the .22lr excels as a Sub Sonic tool, if you want HV you will need to try a few and see what works best for you. Better still keep the .22lr for subs, and get something in addition with a bit more grunt if you feel you need it! A fox will go down easily with the right head or heart shot with a decent Sub Sonic round, I use Magtech and they work very well in mine, a massive HP which
