Stavross 15,301 Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 Just got myself what I think is a cracking buy, got this little fella, cz 455 .17hmr with a hawke 3-9-50 and a cheapo sound mod, rifle has had just under 200 through it, it came with 150 rounds, gunslip, gun cabinet, all the cleaning gear and for some random reason 150 victory mini mag 40g cartridges, I gave the nice chap £250, happy days? 5 1 Quote Link to post

Oh yes another marmite rifle for the collection, I bought it because of the price but to be honest I quite like them for a bit of summer bunny bashing, saying that my shooting mate would knock a fence post in with it 1 Quote Link to post

I have hmr but hardly ever use it.when it goes I won’t have another. Never been enamoured with it, but it works for me in some situations. .22 hornet does all hmr does, but better. Much better imo. 3 Quote Link to post
Stavross 15,301 Posted April 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 For me, I have a little bit of land where you sit on top of a hill and all around the bottom are rabbit sets ranging from 75 to 160 yards, these little rimys seem just the job for the kids to have a go and for that price I couldn’t turn it down 4 Quote Link to post

I honestly think as ammo makers are struggling to come up with anything new a whole new line of rifles in all sorts of bore sizes built around rimfire is imminent. It's time the wheel came around again for moderate velocity rimfire in any bore size from .17-.50. U. Edited April 27, 2018 by Underdog 3 Quote Link to post

Hmr works for me in some situations, it’s just that I find the hornet will do it better, mostly, but not always. The hmr can be ideal sometimes. 3 Quote Link to post
Stavross 15,301 Posted April 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 I think the .22 and .17 are ideal for the kids once they start hitting thumper?in the head at 120+ yards they are hooked, the down side to the .17 is the quality of the ammo, the amount I’ve had with split cases is nuts and it doesn’t seem to matter who’s you buy you always find a couple split unless you buy Remington then about 50% if them seem to be split Quote Link to post
Deker 3,478 Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 If there are no skeletons in the closet and that setup performs, then I would say it is a cracking deal! Quote Link to post
Deker 3,478 Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 Just read the OP again, did you really get a Gun Cabinet in that package as well? Quote Link to post

Yeah, just a cheap one with the ammo safe in the bottom but the lad has taken up surfing? So it came with everything it shoots as as it should, give it a test run yesterday evening and after a couple of clicks on the scope it’s shooting flat and fast, just the way I like it ?
