Stavross 13,711 Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 Nice one, I think most of the time it’s a lucky dip when it arrives, most firearms departments do seem to have got there act together over recent years, I know up here you can’t complain about the admin side of things 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dave_4 102 Posted April 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 (edited) 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.

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. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stavross 13,711 Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 (edited) That’s a smart looking shotgun mate, the Turks make a good functional gun and if it fits you feels right that’s all that matters, some people might bang on about there beretta’s and browning’s and other more expensive shotguns but at the end of the day it’s two tubes and if it fires every time you pull the trigger you can ask for more than that, as for that cracking little cz you won’t buy a better rimfire than that Edited April 7, 2019 by Stavross 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave_4 102 Posted April 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 (edited) Thanks @Stavross I’m over the moon with them both. Loving the CZ and now so are the crows Edited April 7, 2019 by Dave_4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave_4 102 Posted April 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2019 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, 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stavross 13,711 Posted April 18, 2019 Report Share Posted April 18, 2019 That’s a mean looking bugger, look at the size of the mits on him, you have got to be happy with a 100 yard shot, nice work 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
