    @Longshanx it’s still going 100k+. But will mean nothing in this nanny state.

    I’ll give you the high lights, a Scottish lady with a pet crow told a shepherd she was a sheep murderer.

    I’ll put them on the bbq, everything I cook on there looks and tastes the same ?

    Hmmm, I’ve suddenly developed a hunger for crows ?

    So I can shoot pigeons to eat as long as I don’t enjoy it ?

    I feel the radio 2 listeners may not be very sympathetic to our argument, they’re more worried about the size of avocados in Waitrose ??

    So has there been a response from the shooting trade, I’m sure once people stop buying cartridges for pest control they’ll feel it, if it’s going to take a couple of weeks to get the first licenses out, that’s a lot of cartridges not being fire across the country?

    Chris Packham is a tool, and it’s been proven many times. I don’t understand what they’re trying to accomplish, maybe they’ll think twice when the vegans have no crops for their muesli.

    Thanks for your reply @Meece, I did ask for 500 rounds but was told 200 is more than enough. I think the thing that’s wobbled my head is that, out of the box, using the cci’s after 30 rounds I was shooting a tight group, say under a 10p at 60y. Went of shooting crows and squirrels, every time I pick up the rifle out of the cabinet I’d take a couple of shots at the target at 60y to check zero and was always good. When I used up all my cci’s got stuck into the eleys and Winchester’s the groupings were large and way off zero, so today I went and picked up some more cci’s and these are now o

    How many rounds should I be putting through to get back to zero? I’ve put 10 through and I’m still of by a couple of inches. Will I need to re zero the scope? Cheers

    I do get motion sickness, last thing I need is to be all light headed on his chopper ?

    @Gav it’s odd, I had read good things about eley and a few YouTube videos I’ve seen people were banging on about them. Maybe just my cz doesn’t like them. As for the Winchester’s, I know the first round is bang on and everything after is low, but even if they were all bang on I can’t be doing with non firing rounds. Do you use the mini mags for hunting or target? Cheers

    I was told by the firearms officer on my visit that it could be a 12 month wait from then, and it dropped though the door 3 weeks later but my neighbor who had his visit on the same day is still waiting ?? As for gun choice I can’t really help but I was in the same boat, I picked up a ex display ATA laminate for £575, and it turns “some” clays into dust so I’m happy.

    Yep they’re the ones, terrible things covered in Vaseline and stink! The rifles zeroed at 60yards and they were hitting 3.5in right and low in a 3in group. I was expecting good things from eley as well. @Meece I have read about people never cleaning their rifle, but my cz shot so well out of the box I’d like to have it back that way after using the lubed up eleys. I’m not fused about the cost of the left over ammo, (70 rounds) but I only have 200 rounds on my ticket, and don’t have much use for it. cheers Dave

    Admiring other men’s choppers on the net is not something I usually do, but it’s very nice ??
  19. Dave_4
    Cheers @Stavross I’ll have a look ??

    Hi, did have a search for something along these lines but couldn’t find an answer. The first ammo I put thought my cz.22lr was cci hollow points, held zero well at 60 yards with good groups out to 100. I also had a box of eley and Winchester both hollow points. Used up all my cci’s over the weekend so moved on to the eley and Winchester ammo. The grouping of the eley’s was horrendous along with the smell! The Winchester’s would bullseye the first round and then drop an inch for the next four, also had two rounds that never fired. So do I now give the barrel a good clean befor

    Very pleased with the shot, but he’s that big I couldn’t really miss! ?
  22. Dave_4
    The CZ .22lr is brilliant, didn’t think I’d enjoy a small caliber rifle as much as this, the bag of crows is growing, also smacked this massive squirrel at about 100y,
  23. Dave_4
    Thanks @Stavross I’m over the moon with them both. Loving the CZ and now so are the crows ??
  24. Dave_4
    Yes, they’re Turkish, and a lot of people seem to turn their noses up at them. But I liked how it felt and handled with my limited knowledge and budget. Every time I’ve been clay shooting I’ve used a different gun, so I have little preference at the moment. Plus I think it looks good.

    Yesterday was shopping day, and picked up this ATA laminate sporting 12 bore and a .22 CZ American synthetic with built in mod, added a bipod and the hawk scope if off of my air rifle. Very pleased, going to have a look at polishing the bolt and changing the trigger spring on CZ and then get though some rounds and see what it likes. Cheers
