    Very complicated area. Energy, calibre, distance, bullet type, quarry etc etc etc V-Max types are destructive for quick kills, they work well and passthrough (if any) tends to be a mass of shrapnel which doesn't usually travel far. I am watching with interest!

    They have their uses but I tend to treat them as last resort. The EU has been looking at banning them for years, but if checked REGULARLY, they can be useful!

    If they are 50mm long as mentioned in the OP they don't belong to any deer I know in the UK! Neither are they fox or badger. I don't know what they are but they look more horse/pony??????

    If I wanted to use this as a field setup I would have bought the Sporter barrel/action and probably a different stock. This is an Oryx stock with varmint barrel...its heavy, but then again some like heavy! Whilst I like the Pistol grip I doubt I would have bought this stock for field work, but there is nothing to stop anyone who wants to use it as is, in the field, too heavy for me to cart around though!

    Not much doubt that's mice!

    Generally 30mm tubes are ok, but you still rely on scope and ring manufacturer tolerances. I find issues can occur with 25mm/1" rings and scope tubes. 1" is 25.4mm so they can be mixed up. If that isn't the issue then it goes back to manufacturing tolerances or over tightening.

    You're not into hanging them for a while then????????

    Always interesting to see these sort of things!

    I didn't need to remove the action out of stock to fit rear swivel, just the front...I don't know your gun so who knows! Rear stock was fundamentally the same as front, took off the shoulder pad, drilled stock, used a small washer internally to spread load and Sticks like shit all over again after stud nut was screwed on. Job done!

    Don't know about barrel or this particular stock but I fitted swivels to my Magtech. It was a matter of making a small steel plate to spread the load, fitting a normal swivel and then filling the lot with "Sticks like shit" so there would never be a problem. Not the best pics but you get the idea, rear stock was easier!

    First of many no doubt...remind me which .223 you have. Cheers

    Great numbers!

    I think others have explained, I don't fully follow the chart as there do seem to be some odd anomalies. http://www.varmintal.com/17hmr.htm This is the link if it helps! Again, as other have said cutting the barrel down is going to make a marginal difference in reality, don't be tempted to cut to much off first go though, its hard to glue it back if its too short!

    Are you in Australia, who knows there!? As Villaman says, very new and unlikely to get any hands on experience in the UK for a good while yet. My WMR is a 452, so other than coming from the same manufacturer not a lot of help, except it has performed well as do all CZ's!

    This has been a saga to say the least, Nobilo in NZ has been no help at all. Thanks to tremendous efforts from members here (they have been thanked in PM's) it seems a bottle is on its way from Europe. I am eternally grateful to all who spent a lot of their time and made tremendous efforts to help, there are some really great people on THL. THANK YOU!

    Got there at last...new gun for my club and Optisan EVX 6-24x56.

    Sorry if this is a bit of a Hijack!!!!! What sort of Night distance can you see with these to confidently shoot please? They seem fair but I have always had reservations about distance. Cheers!
  20. Deker
    Well spotted and worth checking if you have some of the ammo for sure!
  21. Deker
    That's interesting! 50g is still on the heavy side for WMR (IMHO) but that variation is a bit off. Federal have their days, I wonder if this is normal or just a batch!? As I've said before, my last WMR liked the CCI 40g HP, but my latest just loves the 30g Hornady V-Max, very different ammo but good results from both!

    Just be normal, don't get cocky, don't crawl and don't be worried. Know some technical stuff, know safety and have answers as to why you need the kit, and if he asks something you don't know be straight about it! PS If you think you have a case for an Open (unrestricted) FAC ask, worst he can say is no. Mine and many others was Open day one and I understand Open is common day one in Scotland, so give it a try!

    Crumbs!

    Metalwork is something I know little about and have next to no skills in, always impresses me when I see this sort of work!

    Your Country and prey list are much bigger than the UK, I suspect you can teach us a thing or two!
