Good starter set up. Rifle (rough and ready but faultless), bipod, decent scope and plenty hornady rounds. Threaded for moderator. No mod included. £100 Fife, Scotland can do rfd transfer at buyers cost which is £50. best price i can get round my way. easier and cheaper if you can collect Won't let me add photos

I recently bought this for my 22lr, however I have bought a 17hmr instead and left the 22 with the scope on it. Im looking for something with more mag and a side focus for the 17hmr so this is up for sale - looking for £80 posted which is what I paid. Here is the original ad with photos.

Hi all I have a sako quad with a 22lr barrel and 17hmr barrel. Just wondering what set ups anyone else have with this particular rifle and calibre's and how they find changing the barrels and whether or not they hold there zero. I have mine set up with leupold QRW rings on a weaver rail, with yukon photon for the .22lr and simmons wtc for .17hmr. Changing barrel and scope is simple but haven't had the chance to really test whether it holds the zeros ok. Any advice on the set ups or any other set ups which up better or work well for you please let me know thanks.

So....bought myself a pre-owned CZ452 17hmr in good nick with a load of ammo. Spent ages trying to zero in without much success until i noticed that about a third of the ammo had splits in the necks. These were all discarded so I was back with decent ammo (hornady 17 grain v-max) Went out last night and got 3 rabbits one being out at about 90yds (couldn't find or missed another 3 or 4) As this morning was very still, I went out with some targets to learn what the drops are at varying ranges and after tweaking the zero a tad I was bang on at 100yds. I was delighted to be only a quarter inch below that at 120yds not a great photo but 1 at 100yds in centre....2 touching just below at 120yds-virtually no wind I went back to 140yds and it all started going to rat ****.....shots opened up in a line left to right along the 2" drop line..... may have been the breeze picking up so went back in closer, thinking I could start again from the point in photo 1 above and work my way out more gradually, but got this! NOT HAPPY... .... there was only a very slight breeze left to right (4 or 5 mph?) not enough to affect grouping like this I would have thought. Checked the moderator and its fine - no signs of clipping checked all fixings on scope - all fine I then decided to give it a clean. First I gave it a clean with a home made patch worm until patches were clean........Then went to work with the rod, KG 112 solvent brush and patches. It was still dirty after the initial clean so I really went to town on it and I am now confident it REALLY IS clean. (I even saw a tiny fleck of copper coloured metal on a patch) Could this have been my problem? unfortunately I don't have time now to go out and check it again so I'm just hoping that my initial accuracy (photo 1) comes back to me! :unsure: Shaun

HI had an hour out with my wife in the truck with the 17hmr she had 2 rabbit including the last which was about 120 yards well chuffed fenny
