  1. Can you buy an aftermarket trigger? What is accuracy like with it?
  2. Nice looking semi auto that. Whats the trigger like?
  3. DM80 are made by Dave Mercer in Farnworth nr Bolton. I have changed all my mods to DM80s i really like them. The DM80 i heard wasn't on my hmr because i don't have one, it was on someone's i know. They are fully strippable aswell which is handy.
  4. The best mod i have heard on an hmr is a DM80 over barrel job, it is very good.
  5. Is that with head shots or chest?
  6. To be honest i am a pretty good shot. I have a very accurate cz 22 rimfire which is zeroed at 70yds and is still spot on at 110yds using one mildot. I have thought about using it for this job but wondered if the wmr might be a better option. I wouldn't have another hmr i didn't like it at all.
  7. Right chaps i may be in the market for a quiet short range ( less than 120yds ) fox rifle. It is for a specific noise sensitive area. So the question is, how quiet is the wmr with a quality moderator?
  8. Unless you know for sure it has a low round count it would be better buying a new hmr.
  9. 30/06 for me as 243 isn't the calibre for boar and "ain't all that" on sika either.
  10. I have never seen a tight arse that is any good at shooting yet! ? Don't look at it as wasting ammunition but rather an investment into knowing your rifle and homeload combination. Time spent practising at different ranges and different wind conditions pay off as i found out the other night on a difficult shot on a fox that needed killing.?
  11. I use a .204 for my foxing and coincidentally it is 1" high at 100yds but it is zeroed at 230yds which is point and shoot from 50yds to 300yds. That is with homeloads and using a n/v scope.
  12. So at 1" high at 100yds what is the true zero with your chosen load?
  13. I only use winchester 42grn ammo now, i used Winchester 40grn before that and haven't had any issues with either. Oh! and i like clean rifles.?
  14. I have never tried Remingtons but for me Eley 38grn subs weren't great. They where accurate enough in my cz452 but didn't kill anywhere near aswell as the Winchesters, also really dirty.
  15. I see you have zeroed at 1" high, how did you arrive at that? Is it because at 150yds or whatever that is the true zero and that is where most of your foxes are going to be?
  16. You don't have to pay any duty if it is coming from an EU country.
  17. I personally would go for a secondhand Schmidt and Bender 8x56. Enough mag for the ranges you are shooting at plus superb light transmission especially with a lamp.
  18. What calibre of cz527 is it? What are you planning to shoot at what ranges? Are you just shooting in daylight or with a lamp aswell?
  19. I use h322 in my .204s and when the poxy EU stuck it's unwanted trunk in, i bought 15 lbs of it.?
  20. ^^^^This^^^^ and the sooner the better.
  21. I had a HMR years ago and i cured inconsistent ammo problems by swapping it for a 17 hornet.
  22. You did the right thing waiting to id the fox properly, some dickheads wouldn't!
