    Mine are all 452 varients, changing the spring was pretty easy, has that changed on later models/are later models not better to start with??????

    This type of question crops up quite regularly and there are seldon any reasons to spend more, or get anything other than a CZ for general field use. People sometimes just prefer other makes and thats fine of course, but a CZ will do anything the vast majority of people need and generally at a pretty reasonable price! ATB!

    I think I've still got about 3 boxes of the Winchester rabbit in the cabinet. I must have a good sort out!

    BWT WS355 Standard Electronic Water Softener Can anyone tell me the Engineer Code please? MANY THANKS

    Edgar Bros were (are) a funny lot but I generally found them helpful. I have had mixed dealings with SGC from terrible to excellent! My real concern here is CZ, I am a big fan and have several of their rimfires, I hope they don't start going downhill quality wise!

    I really am behind the times, what happened to Edgar Bros??

    I've need really busy recently and not been on the site much, did I miss something, I thought you had a HMR a while back?

    Good work as ever!

    ? How can you even mount the scope like that???????????????

    Further to my previous thread Rapid 7 Mk11 FAC .22 a week or two back! I now have the gun, my region excelled themselves with a Variation in under 2 weeks so I collected it today. I have the gun as a result of a family tragedy , it is totally legit but the person who transferred it to me knows nothing about it. Few questions if you can help, what pressure are you meant to pump up the bottle up to please, its 400cc, does it just unscrew and self seal??? The mod appears to be held on by a grub screw but on taking it out the mod still seems firmly fixed,

    Most of mine are Canada geese for pest control, most commonly with the WMR (on the ground). Despite popular opinion, selecting the right one does make a very pleasant meal!

    As per the title. I have a chance on laying my hands on the above, I've not seen it but know the owner and it has had limited use and been looked after. What are the issues that develop with these, it could be circa 20 years old, other than the obvious visible things I need to check what could be lurking underneath? Thanks for your help. Cheers

    Thanks everyone, a few areas to try then!

    Am I being racist if I say I think that's very clever?

    I rather expected that, and I'm not lecturing anyone, someone got out of bed the wrong side today, you need to read my posts for what I said, not what you think I said! I didn't assume anything, I made a qualified statement "I suspect I have probably used far more calibres than you". You really need to calm down, it was you who said "I tend to favour one of my 204s over any grimfire"
  19. Deker
    Just like I said...………… Tools for the job! Calm down, it is true that I have never owned a .204, but I have used one several times and been out with a pal who owned one many times (he is also in the Team GB Squad). I suspect I have probably used far more calibres than you, both in the field and on the range, and try and keep abreast of anything new. If you want to use the .204 for rabbits or target practice for fox, that's your choice. My light hearted comment.....You don't need a .204 for rabbits unless you are shooting them in the next county is correct, and backed up b

    I knew someone would say that!
  21. Deker
    Tools for the job! The .22 has it's uses, so does the WMR, HMR, etc etc I don't follow....."I tend to favour one of my 204s over any grimfire". Rimfires offer a lot of versatility, and many find them very useful. You don't like the HMR, your choice, and the .204 is a rather marmite calibre, seems people love or hate them, fact is...………. You don't need a .204 for rabbits unless you are shooting them in the next county, a bit of clout doesn't mean it's the best tool for the job, otherwise people would use their .308 for the rabbit and this "can" happen, whilst it may look l

    This goes back some years and is obviously American but still makes for an interesting read! https://www.chuckhawks.com/compared_17HMR_22WMR.htm
  23. Deker
    Absolutely, obviously under gunned with a WMR against a squirrel!!!!!! ??
  24. Deker
    I don't shoot many squirrels with my WMR, or HMR thinking about it. My WMR almost exclusively runs on 30g V-Max, and my HMR on 17g V-Max. Certainly there are times when the HMR goes clean through, but not to often on rabbits (depends where you aim and distance I guess) and even less on fox (VERY RARE, actually I can't remember it ever happening). For quarry I use them on I find the expansion of both is pretty good, and terminal performance Very good, once hit with the HMR or WMR next to nothing runs off! Remember the HMR is a bit faster than WMR.

    In the early days several firms made HMR ammo but they slowly dropped out to the point where everyone was saying ONLY CCI make HMR ammo, so I asked them, admittedly this was a while back now and things may have changed, but apparently they don't make the Winchester!!! > From: cciexpert@ATK.com > To: Me > Subject: RE: CCI Ammo - Ask the Expert Form > Date: Tue, 29 Oct 2013 17:37:40 +0000 > > Deker, we don't make Winchester 17HMR ammunition and there may others.
