Hello Slightly off topic... but I want to fit a trigger kit to my 452hmr but one of the screws in the stock will not budge! Does anyone have any tips on getting it out?? I have screwdrivers that fit pretty well but have had trouble finding one that is a perfect fit which may help, anyone recommend the size needed or specific screwdriver? ( I think its the screw just in front of the trigger guard but am not currently near my gun so cant check...) And I have given the screw some serious force with help of a vice and second person with still no result and I dont want to round out the screw. Thankyou for any help/suggestions Craig

Hi, As noone else has replied yet i may as well, I have also recently got my FAC too and a 452 american 17hmr and im very pleased with it. Im still getting used to shooting it and the trigger isnt amazing so will do the kit in the near future, other than that it is a good solid rifle. I have the SAK mod and it does a decent enough job for me but I have no comparison to other mods. I have a cheapish scope at the mo (Hawke) but will look to spending a bit more when i can.

2 last night, first shots in anger with my new and first .17hmr TOTAL 992

cheers, just put a few rounds through and have got a decent group at 50yds that im happy with for now Seems to be a nice liitle gun, I look forward to introducing it to the bunnies around here! Also wondering whether people have has to adjust the zero much after the first rounds? does it bed in?

Thankyou to everyone who replied, all good things I took into consideration. I have now bought a CZ 452 american .17hmr, I just preferred the feel of the wooden stock and it doesnt look too bad either. Now to go and fire a few rounds and get it zeroed Craig

I had looked at the quad and liked the look of it but its currently out of my budget unless I go secondhand, and I would love an Anshutz and im sure I wont be able to help myself from spending that kind of money in the future. I think the 452 is good enough for me at the mo, ill go and have a look tomorrow. Thanks for all of your thoughts Craig

Thankyou, all good advice. Another thing I was wondering is that i will hope to get whichever calibre I dont buy now later in the year anyway and I might have a bit more money by then to invest. If I can potentially spend more on one of the guns is there any benefit to either calibre, would it be best to spend more on the 17hmr and have a cheaper .22 or does it not really matter?

Ok thankyou, I am leaning towards a cheaper 452 .17hmr, I think there is the silhouette version in the shop which is tempting.

Firstly hello all, I have been looking at this forum for a while and now would appreciate some advice I have recently obtained my FAC for 17hmr and 22lr and Im probably just getting a bit impatient to buy my first rifle. At the moment Im planning on getting the 17hmr first, Ive been favouring the CZ 455 thumbhole so far but also have looked at the Browing T bolt. The main use will be for rabbits and I can only afford one gun at the moment, I dont really want to travel far and I would like to use my local delear. They dont however have these two guns in stock in 17hmr yet and Im getting itchy feet so have been thinking about the possibility of getting the .22 first or getting something like the CZ 452 in .17hmr which is cheaper, in stock and im sure will be good enough for me to start off with at least. Just wondering what peoples opinions are? Should I just be patient or go for a cheaper gun as it will still probably fit my needs easily Thankyou for reading, any thoughts welcome PS. I can stretch to £500 for the gun (already have a scope to use) but spending less would be a bonus
