    Gold star for that man, it was meant to come up like that when I started the thread, still not sure why it didn't.

    Does CZ still make the 550 Scandinavian?? Used to come with open sights, for some reason I thought they stopped making it, or did they just change the name, OK, I give up, I'm probably wrong anyway!!!!! The CZ generally are workmanlike, efficient and have very few bells and whistles, the Howa could be argued to be a little prettier! Howa used to guarantee 1.25 inch groups at 100 yards, never did impress me much, frankly the metalwork is ok but I do not like the Hogue stocks at all, personal thing, many do!! Overall, I don't think there is much to choose between either. Don't se

    This has sort of been done several times before with the .17HMR but I'm after comments for the .22WMR. All being well I'm picking up my new WMR next week and need a new moderator, I sold my Sako Mod (bearable) with the last gun. I have tried lots of Moderators on the HMR and WMR and have not been much impressed by anything. I am prepared to spend sensible money if someone can suggest a decent mod....please do not suggest the Whisper! Cheers A Tec ??? Jet Z ??? Any views

    Hi Guys, Appreciate the responses and very grateful! I think you are all referring to the proof mark, which would obviously tend to be indicative of the age of the gun. I was just wondering if CZ built anything into the Serial No/etc as many manufacturers do to date it production wise! Cheers

    Mixxy is horrible and I have no time for it whatsoever, but immunity is something for the scientists! As for hoping they will all return next year lets get it straight...anyone at Pest Ex..Do I assume that is what you meant, wants rabbit removed or at best controlled!! If you are a "sportsman" and want some "fun" then you obviously want some quarry, I am a Game and Vermin controller, as are most at Pest Ex and I am paid to get rid of them!! We come at this from completely different angles, too many forget this!!

    Not thought about this before, but does anyone know how you can check the age of your CZ Rimfire?? Cheers

    Field/Game guns "tend" to be lighter than clay guns, often narrower ribs, etc. This could get very complicated but put simply most normal/average shooters will be able to hit most things with most shotguns. There are many specialist shotguns that aim and shoot and fit for specific disciplines, but assuming you don't get a too specialised gun you will probably be able to hit things pretty well with whatever you get. So...get what fits and feels right and forget simply spending lots of money, that isn't always the right way to buy the best gun for you...and most people will do pretty w

    Ok . So do you agree the .260 to be a better deer round due to it's larger range of deer bullets, delivering more ftlb than the .243 with a flatter flight ? He may or may not, and my knowledge of the 260 is not extensive, but when I hit a deer with the .243 (or .223 or .308) it falls over! Different shooting situations are different, ideally requiring variations of calibre/bullet. Therefore, one calibre is not necessarily better for any quarry than another, so I suggest saying a .243/260/308/whatever, is better for deer is not that realistic. There are those that favour even bi

    Whilst they are capable, very few people will use a 20 as First choice for Pheasant, perhaps that's why there is little response!

    Don't know why the picture hasn't come up, if anyone can sort it out I'd be grateful....... and.... this is real, just found it on the CZ USA Website!!!

    I use the jag all the time (rifles as well, with smaller versions and patches/cloth) but with the Shotgun I am no fan of the plastic or brass thick ones. I prefer the good old fashioned twisted wire with a loop, I virtually always use kitchen roll in the shotgun (good quality stuff). All of course after a good scrub! Works for me, but everyone will have their own preferences and cleaning regime. Simple fact is, if it works for you and cleans the shotgun/rifle it is fine!

    I'll have to check them out, unless I'm going blind they do not appear to wrap right round the tube, have to admit I don't think I have ever seen that before!! Looking at the results I take it they work ok and you are happy with them!?!? Cheers

    They are good and I'm after the 13-27 model but the one in your picture is the 12-25 model... If it says 25C or your package someone put the wrong Bipod in it! That is a 25S Cheers you are correct deker thanks for pointing that out i was measuring the legs when open and not the distance from the plate to the floor cheers archiekale They both list at the same money anyway, but spec is a little different. ATB! PS. For many people I suggest this model is a better bet (the 12-25)! Most will be able to use it Prone and sitting, the 13-27 model is harder for most to use

    Thanks to all those who have shown an interest, the gun is now sold and gone to a RFD who took one look and offered me more than I was advertising it for here! Result for me and someone missed a deal!!!

    Good read as always John, just got in myself after a trip out with Mr L, pretty horrid afternoon/evening but we got a bit of variety...anyway... What are those scope mounts...I'm sure everyone else knows but they are new to me...Cheers

    That says it all really, the .243 is a very versatile calibre that can do a lot in the right hands with the right ammo!!

    That is bang on, and correct. You may shoot a fox with whatever calibre rifle or shotgun you wish as you will not be breaking the law BUT if you cause unnecessary suffering to the fox there exists a whole world of legislation purposely designed to make your life a living hell. John A while back there was a thread on this, started as I recollect by Big Noel. He traps urban foxes and applied for a variation for a .410 shot pistol. It was flatly refused and he was told to use sub-12 air-rifle. This is another area where the FEO calls the shots. (Sorry!). A lot of people posted in to sa

    Needs qualifying more..... If they are in open traps/snares then a 410/9mm garden gun or shotgun has a good chance, a 12ft lb air rifle is far from satisfactory, you will have a job keeping him still to get it anywhere close. If they are in caged traps then rifles and shotguns are a health and safety issue and not for consideration, you need a pistol, 410/9mm again or .22lr is very capable, but they still run around in the cage a lot on the whole, so great care is needed. Yes, a 12ft lb air rifle is capable of killing a fox but should not be anyones first choice! Drowning in th

    \ As far as I am aware there is NO specific law relating to calibres/power/loads when shooting fox. There are general laws relating to cruelty which means you would need to use adequate power to deal with them humanely. Anyone else got anything to add... Cheers
  23. Deker
    410 is the boy for that!! nothing more nothing less. I agree guys but that is what the law says. In public areas you should use sub-12 air close-up. Me, I'd use .410 2 1/2" point blank but the fuzz disagree. Ric Ric I do a lot of reading but I'm guessing you do more than me so please advise .. that is what the law says. In public areas you should use sub-12 air close-up... Which law is this please???
  24. Deker
    Please advise where you saw this, it is news to me! Cheers
  25. Deker
    For rabbits and fox the best bet is a .22WMR (just so happens I have one for sale)! Deer moves to a whole different dimension of legislation!
