    Tried to PM, but it didn't work! Whereabouts are you based? Thanks!

    You always want to feel some love from the person selling. Normally it would be ammo/slings/mods/mounts/scopes etc I would have though, so if it is already full of the aforementioned, it can only be price. As a retailer you would always rather add value than give discount. For example if you wanted a new coat, you'd be able to save more by getting that into the deal than you ever would with a cash discount, as the £200 coat probably cost £50 to buy in, so you can have £200 in value to you, for only £50 cost to them. Obviously I have no idea what the margin is on coats, so it is just an exa

    Can't see it mattering too much whether the round does a full rotation, once it is turning it has the same rotational momentum whether it's gone through 1 or 360 degrees. The choke thing feels a little like marketing to me. I know chokes work and blah blah blah, but the importer having a thing saying basically 'don't cut it down, trade it in for a new one' feels like an angle! The overall reports from people about barrel shortening is that it was no worse/better than before. It is only now that people are quoting the inporters website that the assumed knowledge is shifting towards 'don

    Mine is the same as yours - left hook 20". Thinking 12-14" will be best. The rifle looks 'right' as is without the mod on it in terms of length of barrel to stock dimensions etc..at 14" on the barrel with the standard SAK it works out the same length as it is now sans mod. Not the most scientific thinking, but in the absence of any real reason... *edit for readability!* I don't know is the honest answer, this phase of getting barrels cut shorter is relatively new! Frankly though, it makes you wonder if a 12 or 14 inch barrel is fine then why do manufacturers go to the

    I looked at that too. Obviously about galf the price of everyone else, and I know you get what you pay for etc, but the margin even at £8 must be HUGE. $15 US, is that £8 now? Anyway, I have had 2 of these kits and rate them! Ah - sorry! Thought the link was for this website in the UK: http://www.czrifles.co.uk/trigger-kits-for-cz-452-455-rifles-8-80/

    Give Steve a shout at Ivythorne. I'm hoping to get mine sorted out later this month.

    Where is best to get a kit from? I know lots of people do them, but reconmendations would be ace!

    I meant the gent who cuts the barrels

    I've been reconmended Neil McKilop by Steve Beaty down at Ivythorne Guns. Ivythorne know their rifles, so I am taking it as a good reconmendation. Based in/near Reading I think, but does work via post, as it were.

    Getting CZ452 cut down...wondering what people had gone for and their input on their 'length'? .22lr BTW

    ...and this one was last. This one was a bit more graphic on the blood front.

    In some way following on from the tread on hollow point pellets in the general discussion section, I have now been out with the RSW Super H-Points and my .22 Ultra. I wasn't necessarly intending to hunt, but when I was up at the unit we have our work gym in I cought a glimps of a rat running over towards the container that the shoot keep their game bird feed in. Several hours later (including a break to train), I had four rather large dead rats. Some slightly un scientific, and slightly ghoulish feeling testing later (not a lot of respect shown for the dead rats), I can say that the h poin

    Interestingly the .22 HP's I bought seem just as nicely made as my AirArms domed pellets, so it would be a poor ploy on their part to spend more effort making them wouldn't it? I suppose it proves itself to some extent that I bought them in the first place!

    Seems like a waste of jelly... I need to chrono both of my guns now too - as soon as you think, even for a second, that power might be up/down, it doesn't o away until you see the numbers and do the sums!

    Was playing about with this last night. Tried my Ultra .22 and my Hw97k .177 with normal and then hollowpoints into lots of layers of cardboard (only thing I had to hand) from about 20m. With both the .177 and .22 the entry hole was identifiable as being a bit bigger/less round. Again with both, the exit hole from the first sheet of cardboard was more messy and noticable bigger with more fraying. Tiny bit less penetratino on both .177 and .22 in hollowpoint (but as per the points above you'd expct this). What I did notice was that the .177 was less different compared to the .22,

    The 95 is a fair bit lighter than the 77 and 97. I'm hoping to buy on in .22 once my 'new FAC' spending is out of the way. I have a 97k, and TBH I always end up taking my Ultra out on stalks as it is so much lighter - this is a shame really as the 97k is sooo nice to shoot once your sitting comfortably! Maybe I need to get a sling...

    Hi, Just a quick hello and introduction really - I'm based in Somerset, shoot Clays, pests on a farm (non-FAC to date, but FAC is 'in the post apparently!), and have started going on accompanied stalks via Corinium Rife Range (http://www.coriniumrange.com/ - Paul Hill, top chap). RossGym
