you can do that with a .22 or a 17hmr without a 10 inch drop to think about centrefire subsonic rounds kind of defeat the original purpose, which is essentialy to have a bullet fly as fast and flat as possible, the hornet may be a useful tool for your friend, slow heavy bullets ricochet more and although quieter are not as safe as a light fast bullet which will break up rather than ricochet

whats the problems with lee stuff? i have been shooting .222 for 20 years off a lee press and dies, never had any accuracy problems so far, got some rcbs dies in .222 and the extra cost does ****** all for group size

me too, i usually spend christmas day dogging in and feeding, its usually quite peaceful and dogging in operations can be extended further than usual

was it a britpart ignition switch? i would think the ignition is your problem, try blowing it out with an airline and then a little wd40

aigle neoprene, i have had them for years but last time i bought some muck boots as they were a bit cheaper, they are far heavier and stiffer and i wish i had spent the extra and bought aigle again

just bought a savage 12fv in 204 my start load with 39 gr sbks is 26.5 grains of aa2520 only put 15 through it so far though loads of info on http://www.204ruger.com/forum/

i found a guy in germany selling some old stock but new gustav emil ern carbon steel knives, i bought all i could afford at the time they will outlast me and maybe one day my daughter might look at them and think that her old man wasnt that daft after all

subsonics have thier uses for some people, i never found the need for them, i would rather have the accuracy and impact of the yellowjacket, people tend to think that an hv .22 makes more noise and disturbs the bunnies more and unless you try its an easy assumption to make, i was a single handed keeper when i was 20 and very often spent the whole of my monthly wage on a chainsaw or a rifle or a landrover or something else that the tight **** in the syndicate wouldnt buy, leaving me with nothing but rabbit money for the rest of the month, i once shot 49 bunnies all head shot for the butcher with a box of yellowjackets i couldnt have done it with any brand of subsonics and will be forever grateful to remington for keeping me from starving after i had spent my wages on a brno .222

these folks http://www.snipersystems.co.uk/id47.html had a cz varmint kevlar in .223 at the weston gamefair, the price tag at weston was 700 quid, i would ring them tell them you saw it at weston and have been mulling it over, its way more gun than the remington and a steal if you can get it for that price

you can also move the pheasant feeders further away from the rat holes and put the poison close to the holes they are quite lazy

well i couldnt decide so after narrowing the selection to a cz,a ruger a savage or a cz i rang someone who gave me a few pointers, i now have a fine looking savage 12fv with warne mounts and an edgar bros 20x42 in the gun cupboard, should prove to be a serious combination

sorry if that post was a little bit lacking in detail, i found that friends were buying 22s and not useing them much after experiencing the trajectory of most subsonic ammo, i always steered them towards hvs especially the light and high impact remington yellow jacket, it shoots pretty flat and hits hard, it was the nearest thing to a 17hmr before the hmr was developed. subs are alright if you can be bothered estimateing range and drop every shot, i couldnt and didnt want to so used the quickest lightest bullet i could find and had more bunnies for it

a mate turned up with a brno .22lr some years ago, he was new to rifle shooting and wanted me to mount the scope and help zero it, he had bought about 200 eley subsonics with him i threw them in the lake and gave him a box of yellow jackets, he looked like he was about to cry at the time but later realised it was for the best

are you? by posting about this auction you will increase attendance and bids and reduce any profits you might have made, you would be better off saying nothing

yes second hand as well, i can get a new one for 100 quid less

i dont like tikkas, i have known 2 in .222 that would not group both new rifles, 2-3 out of 10 shots would be fliers maybe 4-9 inches from where they should have been, i aint going to be buying one

my old cz 527 in .222 had over 900 foxes to it and loads of other vermin, must have nearly 3000 rounds or so and 20 years old and it still shoots the same size groups it came with on the factory test target, you cant beat them even for a lot more money

dont want a howa remington or a tikka, stocks too flexible and dont like the triggers,

i am looking for a .204 specifically a cz 527 varmint or just possibly a savage or just maybe a ruger, if anyone knows of one for sale i would be grateful if they would let me know, new or used, cheers, mark.

you should not forget the .222 just because its not the latest must have calibre, its a great round and not to much blast and bang like the 22-250 its cheap to reload and easy to shoot, i once shot 97 foxes straight with my old brno (no 98 turned as the trigger went) if i was looking for a first centrefire i would defintely consider the brno fox with the set trigger or an early cz 527 either in .222 you can always get them rebarreled to another calibre later on, you wont find a nicer action and trigger on a budget priced factory rifle

probably the best all rounder, s and b crosshairs are too thick for me, dont forget you will need decent mounts, probably apel if you can find them and after you have bought a good scope and mounts you might consider getting a decent rifle to stick them on

6.8x65 used to be popular with stalkers keepers and the forestry deer bods a few years ago, it was one of them or a 308, i had one of them, although a 308 would have done the job just the same
