My First Rimfire

[Cedric 132]

I thought it was .22 to start with. A better scope will help with the hmr. I've just got rid of mine as the wind deviation was getting me frustrated and have got a Hornet but I did like the hmr.

 

Have you had a fiddle with the trigger yet or is it OK?

[Bigad 136]

Seems fine think it's been tinkered with before I got it

Ad I got a Nikko sterling game king 4-16x50 on my 455 and its cracking for the price...I've put six in a thumbnail at 100m's mate, I don't know what mag the mountmaster is running mate but I'd consider one of these for the price of £65 roughly.

If the rifle is new to you check that a piece of paper will slide between the barrel and stock all the way along. Any points where the barrel touches the wood will affect the accuracy.

[Bigad 136]

If the paper won't slide down then what should I do ?

Start wittling.

[Cedric 132]

If the paper wont fit easily just take the stock off and sand down the barrel reccess until it's clear of the barrel, not much! Don't forget to seal the bare wood against moisture - wood oil or similar.

Nice rifle and sound comments. One if I may?

Let the action bed in as well, a few hundred should see it very tight at a hundred. A fellow near me has a newish X Bolt, Browning, its taken about three hundred rounds afore the groups tightened.

Still whittle and sand though, good for the soul!

[Bigad 136]

Sorted it nill wind and abit of practice

[Bigad 136]

That's 46 yard (close zero point )

So happy with that dead Center shot went back to 100 yards

 

 

And did this

 

Which lead to 4 rabbits left one bad mixy

[Elliott 436]

That looks more like it

 

You should be stacking those shots at 100 yards with a HMR

[Bigad 136]

Got 4 shots touching the dead Center shot then the one abit lower thing I pulled the trigger too hard the grid on the target are 1/2 inch squares

You cant beat the CZ 452 in 17hmr for the price

i have used a weihrauch 17 hmr WOW ! now there's a Rifle

i have also heard the 455 isnt as good as the 452 but i've yet to try one

 

The Nikko is a Great scope for the money , you will notice the difference in picture quality if you go up to the £300 or over mark But i find for 100yrd wabbit boshing they all do the same job

[Cedric 132]

I told you it was the wind ! Avoid farting just as you pull the trigger !

The gun scope and mod cost me £250 so not too bad for the cash
