vole Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 I am hoping to get an F.A.C in the next few months. I like using the clubs Anschutz B/A but they seem to be quite pricy. I really need to keep the costs down,any recommendations? I believe CZ and BRNO are good and I have seen them with scopes for £150 or so,would these be in decent nick at this price? Thanks for any help on this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old man Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 Hi vole, what do you intend to do with the .22? makes all the difference! om ps, yes I know you want to shoot it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vole Posted October 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 Cheers Old Man.At the moment I am shooting targets at 60 yards or so with mixed results but have been using different ammunition each time and it was really windy on Sunday.I got a tight group but with a good few well off target. When I get the cert and am up to it I want to be knocking off crows and rabbits on the farm. Long term ambition is to have a .223 but 1st things 1st,am learning all the time.

cooter Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 The old CZ Bruno is still a very useable and effective rifle. I shoot with an old geezer who still pops bunnies out to 80 yards with his, and it's probably older than me, and it groups well with Eley subs at sixty yards. I think he paid £100 for it.

GatGun Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 A cz will be ideal.Its hard to wear the rifling on a .22 lr so most second hand ones are fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 I can highly recommend the cz/brno-had mine for years and still looks/shoots like new.The ZKM452 is the one to go for in any guise-use RWS high velocity or ELEY subs and you cant go wrong. dont forget to include everything in your application i.e. moderater + expanding amunition (if still applicable) and plenty of rounds.

PaulABF Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 I'm another fan of the Brno. Lovely looking accurate rifle. Can't fault it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beardo Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 (edited) i picked up my god knows how old Anschutz 1450 for £125 with a Parker Hale mod on it, shoots great and weighs nothing. hunt around i'm sure you'll find a nice cheap rifle. joe always has a fair selection... http://www.gunshop-eb.co.uk/Rimfirerifles.htm Edited October 31, 2009 by nickbeardo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAULT Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 you shoot an annie in the range so get one to shoot in the field you know it makes sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardo Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 (edited) there's plenty of .22lrs on guntrader at very reasonable prices (£45 upwards)... http://www.guntrader.co.uk/GunsForSale/ Edited October 31, 2009 by nickbeardo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vole Posted November 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 (edited) Used the clubs CZ semi auto today and quite liked that too apart from the too short stock. Those links show I dont have to shell out too much which I like. Will stick to bolt action however after what I have read plus a few mis feeds today.Am finding .22 a cracking little calibre for learning on,not that i have much to compare to that is. Thanks chaps.

casts_by_fly Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 The 22LR is probably the most essential caliber in the world. Millions have grown up shootig and learning how to shoot with one. They are cheap to go out plinking with. They can be mm accurate. They are cheap as chips to buy and as long as you don't break it in half by falling on it or let the barrel rust in an old cabinet it will last forever. You can't shoot one out unless you are trying really hard. Will a 22LR do everything? Not quite. But if you had to pick one gun to be left with for the rest of your life, you'd not go hungry by picking the 22LR. Thanks Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banjobill Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 CZ/Brno is a great rifle maker. cheap and accurate. get the sak mod not the parker hale as ive the parker hale for my .22lr and its a ****** to clean with all the baffels and all the sak is a beller mod all round just make sure the crown is not damaged on a second hand rifle, its possible to recrown but expensive. your .22lr will soon be your best friend cheap and efficiant. especially with peanut butter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vole Posted November 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 I have tried quite a few scopes but feel happier with high magnification I think. Might be my eyesight. How much for a used scope do you reckon or a good budget one? Cheers for the advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
