got a annie 1515 1516. with scope. mod and ammo. £220 in 22 wmr bolt action. shoots spot on. hardly used
-
ase cqb or compact superb. the s5 isnt as good but as its all stainless i prefer it now over the other to i had
-
the northstar mod will be fine. saves buying another mod. get the ppc cut the same thread as the 223 and swap between them.
if you did want to buy a different mod for it though i would buy a ase cqb for it.the cqb is for 22cf but the exit hole is 7.2mm so can be used on 6 mm no problem. they are very good indeed

my mate was selling his he never shoots it anymore . its a Anschutz 1515 1516 22mag rimfire. good condition comes with 50 rounds of 30 grain hornady ballistic tip ammo .moderator, scope, sling.
-
the 17 is a superb little calibre. i would love another one. the fireball i had was very accurate. it jsut didnt feed from the mag. my own fault really as i had it built on a tikka m595 action. abit to big of a action really for this little case.
would be better off with a hw action. annie, or sako.a1. they feed the round superb.
-
never been a fan of them myself. i think for the money they could at least put a better stock on them,. i would get the stock sorted 1st and fo rmost leadwasp.
get it strengthened to stop any front end flex.

Thanks Jamie - the variation landed on the mat today, which coupled with some new land makes me a happy chap!
I've loved it as a calibre when I've shot it....just never assumed until now that I'd end up going down that route.
I'm also grateful for the mod recommendation - I had been thinking Hardy(?).
I've found a couple more places stocking the calibre (PPU and Hornady) Woodlands in Gt Shefford and Raker in Petworth. I must try Ivor at Old Mill Guns to see if he has some too.
Cleaning kit seems to be a bit tricky...took me ages to find a brass brush.
i use reloading solutions or trent firearms. for cleaning bits. proshot. dewey etc are good products
-
if you reload look at 6.5x47 also.

mine shoots the 117 grain sako game heads superbly in factory ammo. i do reload but have a number of these to use as i got them as part of a deal with the rifle. also 100 grain nostler bt hunting bullets. which i will reload with elcho 17 powder.
i have a ase s5 moderator on mine. does a superb job. as for the deer shooting i cant comment on that with the rifle. as ive had a break from shooting and only just getting back into it.
friend of mine has same rifle. shot munty roe and fallow. no problem with it.
also know a lad who shoots same calibre down in Devon. uses 75 vmax for foxes and 117 grain for all deer. and he has shot some very big reds with it. no problem at all.
imo it is a superb all round calibre

I originally planned to get a .17 remington, as this would be a far better calibre for longer range shooting. But, as there are no new rifles available in this calibre, and the fact that 2nd hand ones could have worn out barrels, I decided to go for the Hornet.
If I could pick up a cheap .17 Rem, I would be prepared to have a new barrel fitted to it, should the original barrel be worn.
i know where there is a tikka m595 with a pacnor barrel sat in a lads cabinet. he has only fired about 400 rounds down it. deadly accurate with 25 vmax. he has 223 and 243 tikka's also and there both scoped so the 17 rem is sat there doing nothing. i would love it myself.
im a massive fan with the 17 calibre. when i had a fireball and a 17 rem. there was no better then sititng on the bales on the farm picking off. rabbits. pigeons and crows. and foxes in the evening. low recoil and seeing the hits where superb.
i just havent got the dosh to have a number of rifles anymore.and the fact im not really doing much shooting. it would be a waste of a top rifle sat in the cabinet.
-
great calibre. alot wont shoot the 25 vmax as well with the standard twist. most go for a 1 in 9 twist if you go the rebarrel route
-
mine shoots spot on with 117 grain sako gameheads
-
as above nylon purse nets. belong to my dad who sadly past away this year.there in very good condition. all have pegs.
3 and 4 foot lengths. collection from worcester.
£100. bargain less then a £1 a net ! -
You will see far less impacts through the scope with a 22.250 than the others unless it is very heavy, a moddy would help that though as it dampens the muzzle rise on fireing.
Most foxes are killed at well under 200 yards, at that range 204/222/223/22.250 or even 220 Swift will all do the job perfectly.
A factory 22.250 is a good killer yes but in my experience is not as accurate by and large as the smaller cases within the group, on a fox it is accurate enough but a crow at 250 yards might get away with it.
Shooting at 200 yards on and above on a regular basis then 204 or 22.250, dont dismiss 20s, I have easily killed foxes at around 300 yards using them, my 20 has a 95% first shot kill rate overall on foxes at all ranges. Most are sub 200 yards.

well i think it was your rifle. i know many people and my rpa 22/250 has shot many 250 + yard crows and rabbits out to 330 yards
-
25 vmax are better then 20 vmax. ive seen over 4100 in the 17 fireball with 20 vmax. the rem is much quicker
double larsen trap. perfect working order.
