out with the CZ varmint

[richie 1]

a few shots out with the rimmy today....

 

 

ended up with 7 youngens in an hour or so, taken out between 60 & 100yrds.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

swapped the day scope for the NV & spotted these two out at 90/100yrds & quickly managed to get a rough photo of them.

 

 

heres them two.

 

 

 

 

on the way back to the motor i took this one out at 70yrds with a side head shot, he went straight down.

 

 

 

the 3 i got with the nv.

 

 

 

not a big bag, but glad to go home with 10.

Good going

 

What's your NV setup?

Nice shooting mate, I too have a Varmint and I recon for the money they can't be beaten.

I'm interested to know if you have to check zero each time you change from day to night vision. I fancy an NV scope as I don't like the 'add on' type but like you I also need to use my Varmint for day work.

i use to own an add-on & it was a simple case of adding the monocular on the back in a couple of seconds when night time shooting was needed.

 

but what i do now is have a weaver rail attached to the rifle with weaver scope mounts attached to the day scope & dedicated NV unit. its just a matter of putting both of them back in the exact same slots on the rail each time i take either units off. you might have to do a slight adjustment up/down left/right which you should always do with any rifle before using it. a change over will take me less than a minute.

 

ill be putting a post up in the next week or so showing the two different ways i sight my NV unit in.

 

 

the CZ varmints are the nuts. some people say their good for a budget rifle at approx £270/280 ? but thats a reasonable price to pay for a bolt action rimmy.

 

ive never owned such an acurate rifle as my CZ. accurate, easy to clean down, even though not needed that often, never had a jam. they just shoot round after round.

 

i use a SAK moderator on it & the bunnies dont hear a thing especially when its attached to the bolt action.

 

i have a few rimmies, & the CZ is my favourite, especially when you see a group of bunnies out, after you take the first one the rest just look around, but i find when i use my rugers the bunnies seem to get more startled after the first shot, i put this down to the extra noise that comes from the semi action cycling. theres a big difference between the two actions.

 

the two above that i shot were taken one after another with the second one not even interested that his mate got it.

 

 

what subs do you use ?

 

i use ELEY subs & its bullet on bullet.

 

 

5 shots through the same hole less than a five pence piece..

nice shooting mate one accurate rifle that is my cz does that so will agree with you there spot on

what distance was that target at ?

only 25yrds.

 

i find if i sight into 55yrds " not for target shooting but for vemin " its basically the same within a 1/3 of an inch for 25yrds out to 85yrds.

 

all the ones i took yerterday were taken with one shot. theres only one thing the varmint is missing, a hogue stock, not the shitty synthetic type on the sillhoette but the one for the rugers.

they do look good rich but i wouldnt spend that kind of money on one. i dont use my 22lr as much anymore shame really as i like it as its slint and cheap to run. but i allways go for the hmr i guess its because the fields on my shoot are longish so the extra range of the hmr helps in the day

it is a lot of money, but not for the quality of the unit.

 

 

to be honest, that picture i took above looks shite compared with what the actual view is like through the scope.

How much do you find the scopes alter their accuracy when you remove them and put them back on ?

mm +/- then a slight re-adjustment.

Hi Richie

As a newcomer to rimfire, i'm concerned that you shoot down a hedge line, and the safety of this. After years of air rifle and shotgun use, i was horrified at the ricochet potential of the rimfire subsonics. Would welcome tour advice on this .... or shall i start a new topic???
