Hello all.? Just an update as it has been a while.I have been looking for a subsonic .22LR hollow point that shoots well from a cold clean bore and have recently started using RWS subs which do well, typically from the first shot..I have used a few different brands of subsonic H.P.s and they all group quite well after 5 or so fouling shots, but RWS like the cold clean bore,needless to say I am a happy and for me, decent shooting.?.I have used the RWS before in the old Annie 1416 DG and it was equally consistent in that rifle. A couple of typical below all from a cold clean bore..My s- 26 replies

Hi all, just an update.I have had this rifle for over a year now and still really like it a lot. I have not modified it in any way and it is as out of the box. It is an easy rifle to shoot well with a pretty good trigger (pulling at 2.6 lbs out of the box and very smooth), accurate, lightweight and utterly reliable. I now have the benefit of hindsight and purchasing this rifle was a good decision and I would do so again absolutely. I use an inexpensive but very good Hawke Vantage x2-x7 32mm A.O. scope with an illuminated reticle. I sometimes use a SAK moderator on the gun, a ve

If anyone’s interested, I decided to pattern and compare .22 and 9mm flobert shotshells. Using my 14 inch Anschütz, I shot a .22 Winchester superX #12 shot at a rat target at five yards to see if it would likely be effective at that range. To compare using my 24 inch Manu-Arm bolt action, I shot 9mm fiocchi #6 shot at the same range, and 9mm rws acorn brand #10 at the same range. I went on to extend the range of the 9mm flobert’s at ten, fifteen and twenty yards for comparison. Here’s the results.....

I had an hour to spare so decided to take the 17HMR out, I don't get it out enough really, mainly just because I'm a tight old git! Anyway hole number one, ranged at 88 yards with rangefinder, scanning the ground with the scope, a bloody immigrant came into sight, to my absolute disgust it was actually copulating with a local, having no choice I promptly dispatched it, the participant promptly ran off or it would have got the same. Three more locals swiftly followed their demise, as I was waiting to see if any more wanted to play I realised I had my phone, so took pictures too. I the

FAC help local to me ? Rotherham. South Yorkshire.
Guest posted a topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
Hello, Chaps. I have been told by the landowners and keepers where I do most of my Pest Control etc. I need to get my FAC to go forward into the future. I have permissions to shoot on various land, But I'm a traditionalist and prefer to work the ferrets and dogs etc. ( I remove thousands per year ). I do pest control for a living and I am fully insured, qualified etc in all these departments. I recently went on a job to shoot some rabbits with a gentleman I know and he used his 17 HMR, I will never use a Rapid 7 again.lol. The time has now come for me to take the next step and -
As it was nice took the .22 out, using cci mini mags got these four around the 60yds mark, all headshots within 15 minutes. As I took the first photo and was about ready to pack up, one of their friends popped it's head out wanting to play, around the 40yds mark, I was happy to oblige. The difference in damage at 20yds difference is explosive.

Hoping someone can point me in the right direction - I've been a member of our local rifle club for three months and am looking to get my first .22 rifle. I'd like to use it for rabbits, permission pending, but more often for practising precision and timed target shooting at the range, and for this it needs a 6 round magazine minimum. All I can find on my internet window shopping sprees so far are the Ruger 10/22 (same as the club's gun I'm using at the moment) and tactical looking semi-autos which I'm not really that fond of as I prefer more traditional looking guns. After something wi -

Took a walk about with the 22LR and lamp after a few rabbits hadn't used the Sako for some time but on its last outing it was fine and zeroed ok bolt seemed stiff when pushing home the round and missed the first few bunnies (head shooting) so thinking it must be me as not that good a shot that I hit everything I aim at I decided to go for body shots and got the next two but now the round just didn't want to feed into the chamber and so I packed in .Today I cleaned the rifle and even used an air line to blow any gunge out that I couldn't reach and then had a go feeding the rounds into the cha

Gents, I'm currently in Wilshire. just got back frim Afghanistan in October. the wife has treated me to a Cz 455 Varmint .22 fitted with Hawke panorama for Xmas.

I've Just purchased a new Browning T-Bolt in .22 stainless. I already own a CZ 452 in .22. Can anyone tell me if I can expect to get the same accuracy out of the Browning as I already do from the CZ ? I purchased the CZ new in 1992 and its still in original condition (no mods). I'm shooting about an inch group at 60 yards (with no wind) with the CZ Have I made the right choice with the new purchase ?

i thought i would put this video in the rimfire section as well as the night vision section as it crosses both categories. we were out for nights shooting rabbits with our .22lr's mine a CZ 452 with Boyd's stock and micks a ruger 77/22 we ended up with 160 rabbits by the end of the night. The mist kept coming and going so it made for difficult filming with night vision so apologies in advance for the odd fuzzy shot. all the rabbits were head shot as they were going to the game dealers in the morning as soon as we had finnished. Enjoy Cheers Daz

Hi all, I have a problem with my CZ 17hmr style, it keeps loosing its zero every time I use it! I have hawke match style mounts on a weaver rail and a MTC Taipan 6x24x56 scope, Harris adjustable bipods a SAK moderator and I have fitted a lighter yodaves trigger kit. I have set the eye relief on the scope so I do not have to move my head and so I get a clear image through the scope. The only thing I can think of is that when I fitted the trigger kit I didn't use a torque wrench on the action bolts I just guessed them.... Could this cause it to loose zero all the time? Please someone help m
