first time with the CZ

[RAPID7LIAM 7]

Got my FAC through the door on saturday morning so went straight out and bought my first rimfire, the CZ American, i was going for the BRNO but the shop only had the American or the silloete, Hawke 4-16x50 on top, harris bi-pod and an A-TEC mod and sling, and the cherry on the cake, a brand new permission (over 1000 acres) that is absolutly wick with rabbits.

Got to the permission about 4 on sunday morning and put the gun lamp on for a quick look about whilst my mate had a cup of coffee and set his gear up. First shot came within 2 mins with a eley sub to the head of the first rabbit at 55 yards, it was starting to come in light so the lamp came off and we went for a wonder, a couple of hours later we returned to the car with 7 rabbits (one was still in the bag went i took the picture) then went back out and got another 6.

I dont know why i never put in for my FAC years ago, the CZ is by far the best rifle i have ever owned, i was getting 25mm groupings at 75 yards then my mate went and trippid over my rifle whilst it was sitting there on the bi-pod , put a target up and the zero had'nt moved at all even though the scopes took a bit of a hit.

Back out on the new permission this weekend, might try a few hours on the lamp this time as the place is crawling with them. I got a couple of boxes of winchesters to try after i've used the eleys to see which i prefere. Crackin bit of kit, cheers, Liam..

Cheers Ian, i feel like all my christmas's have come together with the new permission and my 2/3 weeks over due FAC, the wife wont see me on a weekend now

Nice one ! It is funny how sometimes the big knocks to a rifle and scope don't seem to affect the zero but the next time you gently ding it against something it will !

Sounds like me when i first got my 22 RF it was such a step up from the airgun and you soon get your confidence with the rifle,you should get on fine with the winchesters in your gun my CZ American loves them although not all gun barrels are the same and some can be not so good. Just be careful with the extra power you will get alot more richochets even after hitting your targets so try and keep your backstops safe, have fun.

I'm going to use the rest of the eley's that i've got left out of 100 then try the winchesters out although i'm getting good grouping with the eleys. i'm also in no hurry the take a shot on my new permission as theres plenty aboutif the rabbit decides to run off, i'm checking the back stop, having a quick check with the range finder before taking the shot as i've got it zeroed at 75yrds and then i know where to aim. cheers.

I was thinking about getting rid of the rapid jonathan but i've had it that long and theres not a mark on it i'd miss it, but i have got a slot for FAC air so mite get her tuned for my local permission which is quite small even though it's passed for rimfire, but dont feel safe using it there. cheers, Liam..
