Ok i'd be interested in that, let me know. Is it ambidextrous? Cheers

Some one told me that CZ actions all had the bolt on same side, on the right as you shoulder the gun. Ambidextrous guns have the bolt on that side. I'll just have to manage like you and still operate the bolt with my right hand. Out of interest did it take long to adjust to being a lefty? It feels very un-natural to me. I've started left hand with my shotgun. Got a sore shoulder a few times because I never shouldered the gun correctly but its coming a long nicely

Its only the stock I want to swap, I have got to learn to shot left handed because of a problem with my right eye. Its wearing out

Hi Does anyone want to swap or have for sale a left hand or ambidextrous stock for a CZ455 heavy varmint 17 HMR? I have the laminate thumbhole right hand at the moment which is in excellent condition.

stoogey I've been wondering, have you got your range finder set in feet instead of yards

No one’s said its impossible, all anyone’s questioning is whether its a responsible thing to do and fair on live quarry. I personally think it’s outrageous and I’m sure I’m not on my own No one’s said its impossible, all anyone’s questioning is whether its a responsible thing to do and fair on live quarry.

If nothing else stoogey your entertaining, Sun bathing rabbits up a tree I'd love a pint of whatever your on

Where abouts in lincs are you?

So it wasn't chairgun? and then theres the shots you used to be able to do but can't now? I bet you've seen a cow climb up a tree too? :lol:

stoogey any one actualy bothered to dowload chairgun? it's the maths..the fact.. bar anonolies in the tools.. was chairgun around 7 years ago?

Its just a great shame people like this are giving more and more ammunition to the anti gun groups etc. and spoiling it for everyone else. Maybe they should license air rifles to help stop people like this getting procession of air rifles. At least the FEO’s could see what these people are like. 80yds rabbits! 200yds pigeons! Whats next? Deer stalking and fox hunting with a air rifle!!!

200 yds Did you have a extra high rear scope mount and a low front scope mount to get that elevation for that shot?

Mongrel thanks for translation, fabarm gamma boy its unbelieveable isn't it

I could do it but can't now Its a shame everyone who's spoke up on this thread can't get together on a HFT course. It would be interesting to see the results.

yep thats what I meant

lol

stoogey just so I'm clear, your telling me, you can 20mm groups with your 12ft/ft air rifle at 70+yds

I think this all started because someone claimed they could hit rabbits and kill cleanly at 80+yds in a 12mph wind, even my hmr drifts around 2 inches in that wind at that distance and even though its still carrying around 150ft/lb! If this small minority of people bringing shame to themselves and all the other responsible airgunners insist on bragging about their lucky pot-shots which more than likely leave more animals wounded than anything else. Why don’t they take a look at the HFT rule book. After all HFT does stand for HUNTER Field target. The farthest target is 45yds! If 12ft/lb air rifles grouped well at 70 or 80 yds then surely this distances would be the range of the farthest targets! So then the two questions spring to mind, 1 Are these people telling the truth? 2 Are these people using overpowered rifles? (I’m not sure how far a FAC air rifle will group but as an educated guess I would say no more than 80ish yds) If you want to shoot vermin at these ranges you should be more responsible and apply for FAC and use the correct rifle for this job. Or, which I find far more challenging, learn to stalk and brush up on your field craft and get to a more suitable range for a more realistic, clean kill shot!

:good:

missmoreandmaster I've heard that 3 or 4 ft/lb to kill a rabbit thoery which is probably true. However by the time our 11/12 ft/lb air rifle has lost its energy down to 3ft/lb it will also have lost around 200 feet per second in speed and along with that the pellet also loses its stability. A loss of stability = a lose of the ability to hit our target accurately! (no matter how good of a shooter you are) The prove is in the pudding has they say. Just shoot a group on paper and see Your advice, 50 yd max, is a realistic range of a good rifle BUT the max range of a gun and the max range of the chap pulling the trigger is sometimes a very different range.

A walnut is about the same size as a rabbit's brain. I'd like to see you hit a walnut everytime at 80+yds in 12mph wind with a sub 12ft/lb air rifle. That would be some damm fine shooting

Draw a circle around a pound coin. Start at 25 yds, shoot 5 shots into circle. If all 5 shots are in the circle move it back to 30 yds and repeat, carry on moving the target back until you cannot get all 5 shots in the circle. Your range is the distance before you can't get all the shots in the circle. You have to be honest with yourself and try it in the wind. The wind will reduce your range. With practice and the right conditions it is surprising at what range you can shoot accurately. Don't shoot at live quarry at a range that you can't pass the pound coin test at!

So which is best? Regulated or un-regulated? Forgive my ignorance but what is fast flowed?

Hello guys I'm after some advise lease. I'm in the market for a .22 FAC air rifle to go along with my HMR for vermin control. I've been looking at the Theoben Rapid. (I know Theoben have folded). Does anyone have one? I'm looking for peoples experiences with them or maybe recommend something different. Obviously it needs to be accurate, reliable and as a higher shot count as possible. Look forward to your replies Cheers
