Sausagedog 7,381 Posted November 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2021 Deal done. Swapping the 22 for a 455 in 17hmr. I can have one rigged for night, my current 457 and the 455 with a scope baldcoot sent me for a slightly lighter daytime rig. The 17hmr has proven to me its versatility and its safety. Yes I have had to eat my words over calling it a mouse gun, it's more than a mouse gun! No doubt I'll have to fix the trigger on the 455 but that's nothing new. So, just got to wait for the variation now...... 3 Quote Link to post

Yeah, I’ve got a browning T bolt and a cz, you can never have to much of a good thing, to be honest the cz gets far more use than the browning, I’m going to make a point of giving it a run out this week 1 Quote Link to post

Without doing anything to them, the cz is better than the browning, that’s not to say the browning is bad and as you know they have a lot of nice little touches on the T bolt 1 Quote Link to post

And yeah it's alright. But then I use the tikka..... Quote Link to post

Dervburner 2,549 Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 Like you say SD, everybody’s different. I couldn’t do without a .22, wouldn’t miss hmr one bit. I’ve never really gelled with the calibre. My pal loves them, uses his all the time and he doesn’t like .22 2 Quote Link to post

Stavross 15,349 Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 If I could only have 1, it would be the .17, the .22 just gets chucked on the front of the quad now for shooting squizzers, the .17 shoots a lot further and makes the deader 2 Quote Link to post
