archiekale 427 Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 got to be anschutz 1517 you get what you pay for if you miss its humane error people say you have to clean them after 10 =20 shots not so (i clean mine when ever ) just keep the moderator clean (sak ) £35 gets realy dirty i blow the crap out with a air line when stripped (moderator) 2mins dont go spending loads on a moderator it doesnt make any difference hope this helps Quote Link to post

t5avs1 2 Posted May 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 very nice rifles, what size barrel is best or does it not make much difference? and is that just a cammo cover over the stock or? thanks for the pictures Quote Link to post
archiekale 427 Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 the 22 is bang on 50 to 75 yards real bunny basher 1" groups easy very accurate if you miss its humane error not the gun i like the short barrels ideal out of the pickup window the 17 hmr is unbelievable on a still night little wind (if its windy dont bother ) very good gun for long range shots when crops are comeing through and rabbits are far out ideal for shooting crows long range.heres a link for the 17 hmr http://www.chuckhawks.com/17HMR.htm Quote Link to post
