I have filled two slots so far , first was a pre-owned Remington 700 VSSF .223 with T8 over barrel mod and then a new CZ457 synthetic.22 LR + Atech wave mod and really pleased with them both . I shall get some photos done later. VM fortunately I only have to fork out for the rifles, mods and ammo as I already have everything else. I would imagine the .22 air would be the most expensive slot to fill as I was looking at something from the FX range, however I already have a sub 12 FX Dreampup in .22 calibre which I’m seriously considering getting fettled and putting on my ticket so that’ll save a good chunk !.

The CZ was christened on a few rabbits earlier this week and it’s spot on. How do you find the 17 HMR for accuracy?. Cheers 1 Quote Link to post

Expand Out to 140yds I'm spot on, after that it becomes trickier. Unfortunately the crows have started rangefinding my quad bike & stay around 200yds away! 1 2 Quote Link to post

Expand FX all they either impact or wildcat mk3 ,both sniper version. That way you will be able to shoot pellets or slugs and trust me your .22 lr will be redundant 1 Quote Link to post

X mark pro on mine! There was also a recall on them some years back, I never had any issues, but mine was recalled and fixed, never noticed any difference!
