    you have to watch out for the round tumbleing as it exits the barrel so if you have a mod on you will do damage to the mod as some one else said use your .22lr for the short stuff and the .223 for what its main roll is long range vermin. paul

    any CZ with a 20" barrel is going to be last stock all the CZ that Derek is bringing in to the country will be the 16",my local dealer said that the material costs are going up in price so that will go to the purchaser one of them things we all have to get on with it remember in this country we get taken for a ride on prices on every thing in the states a CZ 16" .22lr with a scope and mod are under $500 thats about £220 the moment they come here we get F KED over,as was said on here you only need the permission of the land manager,CZ triggers are easy to make light and good you dont need to

    some of you seem to forget that in certain states of the good old US of A like Texas they behave like this and think nothing of it thankfuly most other states have rules and regs like here in fact in Orange County last may a friend and myself got an invite from an American friend and on the range we were taken to a seperate part of the range we was asked to show the range officer we were apointed that we were safe with fire arms new how to zero and adjust scope and show gun control then on the main range each bay had a concerete wall divider and you were not allowed to move from your bay till

    hi mjr88 sorry not replied earlyer but can only get on here when the wife buggers of out with her friends any way to answer your question no i have never noticed a change in poi after useing the snake or a once a week good clean i have mine shooting 1" high at 50 yrds and as say no change with mine also some one said about pulling the gun apart before cleaning i only ever take the stocks of my rifles if going to do any work on them, there is no need to remove a stock on a standard rifle if you are cleaning it providing you do not flood the rifle with solvent or oil if you do it is way to

    hi i clean my HMR every time i use it ,it is a good habit and satisfying i think and letting it get to dirty a barrel is bad for accuracy on HMRs not only that if you use a mod on your HMR clean it with some powder solvent see what come out then you will answer your own question on cleaning your HMR. paul

    if you are handy with some tools ideal for firearms you can do a lot to you own trigger without the expense of after market units most standard triggers beneffit from being striped and lightly stoned to remove roughness i have done all my own triggers on my rifles and past rifles and turned out to be very good after a bit of TLC. its not rocket science but make sure you are up to the job yourself if not it is very easy to kill a trigger. paul

    in actual fact the Americans have been field testing the 6.5x55 Grendal or Grendel what ever they call it and are going to re barrel the M4 for this round by all accounts it only costs the US army $17 to re barrel an M4 the 6.5 has been used by certain US service men in the Afgan areas for the last 12 months and it is certain to go fully into 6.5 by this time next year. paul

    if you work for your RFD can you not get the rifle trade dont forget all guns have just had a price rise but £450 does seem dear i would buy S/H just take bolt out have a good look down barrel make sure all is well ,there is an old saying always buy the best you can afford spend the best part of your cash on a scope regardless what any one says there is no substitute for good glass i have a Burris fulfield 11 on my .22 a Leupold VX-3L on my HMR and Schmidt & Bender on the C/F even if you dont shoot at extreme distance with good glass you will be able to see what is at extreme range and th

    the standard zero you do on your rifle over here in good old blighty is no good for foreign climates you have to re zero also the S&B PM11 they bolt aloft are re presured Schmidt & Bender use some thing other than a nitrogen purge because of scope temp in the tube instead of the normal 3ft water test they do it at 10 ft depth also the british army are using an experiment round at the mo which has been developed by a British firm for the american army. paul
