    NICE BUY, LOVELY RIFLE 😃👍🏻
    Good Luck with zeroing it in & doing any shooting you do with it 👍🏻
    The ammo you have used with your CZ may not get you good groups.

    I would suggest that you buy a box of ammo by different manufactures and fire x5 shots of each type of ammo all on different targets (Once you have managed to zero your scope in roughly) allowing your rifle to cool down after every 5 shots.

    Ive always done this with any .17HMR I’ve bought & .22LR  with very surprising results. 
    Good Luck with what ever you do 😃👍🏻

    I have some Hornady, Remington and winchester for this exact purpose!

    Luckily you had a spare .17 slot, or this exchange could have been a pain in the rear, having to wait for a variation to remove the CZ and free up the slot again.

    Enjoy your new rifle, hopefully you don't have any issues with this one :good:

    I put my variation in on friday morning and received it back yesterday!  Amazing service by Cambs!

  2. Morning guys, thank you again for all of the responses.  I took the gun into the local shop and he agreed having inspected the rifle that it was more than likely one of the minor issues above, following a brief chat I ended up buying a Tikka T1X MTR at a VERY good price as a replacement and I am now awaiting a weather window to Zero it in!

     

    I am disappointed that I didn't get to the bottom of the issue, but I feel that I gave everything a 'good looking at!'

    I will be using the same scope / mounts / ammo , so if I experience another issue I can delve deeper!

  3. Guys thank you for the continued support! I have a spare Optisan scope on my LR so I will start by swapping them over. The MTC scopes have been very good to me in the past, the optics are very clear and I have never had an issue (up until now perhaps!) I’ve certainly never felt the need to spend ££££ on a scope to shoot at 100m especially as most of my shooting is through an LCD screen (NV)

    I understood that casings and the condition were critical in CF, Is this not the case in RF Turbo?

    its interesting to know how the scope works Ultrastu thank you. I will reset the turrets and see how far off I am!

    I saw the comment about shooting with the least human interaction and I certainly understand this! When I had the use of the driving range locally, I would set up the Site and Clean gun rest with the rifle strapped down and Zero that way, it makes a big difference especially when attempting a 2 shot zero. I also believe that I shoot far more accurately looking through the NV for the same reason! It’s also more comfortable that way. 
     

    I am certainly No marksman, but I believe I owe it to my quarry to be able to shoot head shots up to 100m, without that confidence in my kit and ability I will not go out. 
     

    regarding moderators, is there much difference between them? I have a SAK that I bought new on my .22 LR bit haven’t seen much difference between the generic one that came on the .17 and the SAK?
