allowed 2 .22lr ??

[brizinni 0]

it is possible if you experiment with bullets and know how your rifle works to get both .22 subs and .22 hv to be very accurate through the same rifle.

I have tried .22 rimfire in HV (yellow jackets) in the past and found them to be a right pain in the arse accuracy wise. For me i found that with the HV the groupings opened right up meaning that the longer range you get out of them is irrelevant. Also noise wise there is a big difference so all in all decided not to go down that route again

that about sums it up for me subs it is in the .22lr, il have a bit of fun with the 400 or so hv i have out at 100yrds and see what groups we get

In case it helps anyone else...

One justification for having 2 x .22 rifles which is accepted by the police is that one is fitted with a day scope and the other with dedicated night vision.

THAT IS THE CORRECT ANSWER BUDDY -AND THATS WHAT IV DONE -NOW GOT 2 X .22 LR

I think you're dreaming mate.

 

I cant see some one for example getting two .243's ,one zeroed for 75grain bullets for fox's and the other zeroed for 100grain for reds, its just not going to happen.

 

Why not get a .17 and that will do you fine for the longer ranges. Plus the .22 HV rounds dont tend to be that accurate but i have had 1" groups with Remington Yellow Jackets.

 

i know a guy who has 4 .22lr and 2 .243 all with a different loading action think it might be down to your feo on the day.

On the issue of using the same gun for both subs and HV's I find that if I zero for 75 paces with the subs the HV's are spot on at 100 paces. I simply keep one magazing loaded with HV's in my pocket so can change easily in the field. A dab of white paint on the mag saves any confusion...

The thing that you have to remember is that the only thing that counts when the police come to a decision on your application is the law. Nothing else. The law requires you to demonstrate 'good reason' for possessing/purchasing/acquiring each firearm you apply for. The fact that you have another identical one is not really the point, although it may demonstrate that you do not have good reason for the subsequent one. That is not a given though and the police cannot simply decide that you do not have good reason purely on the basis of you already having one. They must make the decision based upon the reson you put down on the form.

 

There are many reasons as to why someone might want duplicate firearms and I think that zeroing one for different ammo is not unreasonable, when you think about it. They are both doing different jobs so on the face of it there would appear to be 'good reason' there.

couldn't you just get 1 .22lr with changeable barrels and set it up so that one .22 barrel has a scope mounted on it for HV and one for subs on the other barrel?

or doesnt the scope sit on the barreels on those rifles?

just a thought

i would have thought it would be too much hassle. The HV rounds in .22 (in my CZ) are seriously not worth the ball ache, they are inaccurate and 5X as noisy as normal rounds. If you were hell bent on using HV rounds you could just learn the POI for the HV. I found when subs were zeroed at 60yds the zero with HVs was out at about odd yds. (even though the group was a fist sized mess)

The scope attaches to the reciever so you may get shifting point of impact by changing the barrel. Also, from a legal point of view getting authority for an extra barrel is exactly the same as getting authority for another rifle so you aren't really making it any easier from that point of view.
