Deker 3,478 Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Still not 100% happy with it: no real surprise its on it's 3rd moderator, second mounts and second scope and second type of ammo, but it is now about a month old and fired about 250 rounds; and the barrel is about right...so out tonight to check the zero again. 105 yards (there was a dip in the ground at 100 so I moved out a bit), couple of clicks and ended up with 3 touching shots...happy with that , but.....about a quarter inch low and right....got to head off but no problen ..one click each way when I get home and job done!! Start to clean the gun and check base mounts, 3 out of the 4 manage a fraction of a turn..everything else fine...bother!!, go to adjust the poi, elevation one click, windage...f**k me what happened, spun it errr, eerrrr how many clicks ....don't know...looks like I need to check the zero again!

I am still not happy and have the Sirroco SM11 (Edgar bros distribution) at the moment! Started with a HOG, very good for the 6-8 shots it lasted until the HMR pressure started blowing it apart...do NOT use!!!! Borrowed a SAK briefly and perfectly adequate (Jackson Rifles suggest they will last 10,000 rounds on an HMR ) Tried a couple of CF mods but the weight becomes a problem even though they do have the edge on sound moderation...so still looking myself for a sensibly priced, low weight, effective mod for the HMR.....has been suggested to have a word with Mr DM80 (Dave Mercer)!!!

Mr_Logic 5 Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 I would, by the sounds of things he's all tooled up and ready to go with the new DM80S HMR moderator - I had a mail from him when I asked about changing my Hornet mod to 223. Quote Link to post

I have a DM on my 17 HMR and its far superior to the SAK Les Quote Link to post
Deker 3,478 Posted September 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 Out today checking the zero yet again...seems it only needed one click right...I think....quite still today but this time I was at 115 yards and the best group I could get was around 30mm (1.25 inches)...down to the occasional gust of wind...f**k me this is hard work getting this spot on!!! I know it may seem strange to many but I am simply not comfortable with it yet, the confidence is not there, even though it is very close, I do not have the belief in it yet to grab it out of the cabinet, go shooting and know it will do what I want!!

It's the new CZ Silhouette in HMR with 20inch barrel (available in 16inch barrel as well), I already have the CZ Silhouette in .22LR and very happy with it. Nothing wrong with the gun...just me and confidence...it is a budget package, JSR 4-16x44 Mill dot Target scope, Sirocco Mod, and sweet as a nut...all in including a slip, sling and extra magazine under £400...excellent VFM! ( I did push hard on the deal) Oh yes....the trigger was s**t compared to the .22LR (original trigger) so went direct to Eric Brooks and bought the trigger upgrade, £8.32 delivered!!
