Cumbrian Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 I'd avoid CCI ammo when others are available - it tends to jam in my CZ 452 .22 LR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vole Posted March 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 Your escort pump Vole. You should be able to remove the barrel on that quite easly if it is anything like mine. That way you would be able to put in in your small cabinet rather than getting rid of it. Have tried to insert a semi before broken down and it just would not go. Will see if the pump is different though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vole Posted March 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 Had the rifle out this morning on the range. Bit of a nightmare!! Lots of misfires due to light strikes (with 2 types of ammo) and could not zero properly. Even with maximum elevation it was shooting about 12in low. Got advice to shim up the front mount but it was still too low. Would lifting the front end of the scope not make it shoot lower though? Anyhow,its all good experience but think I will be using the shotgun for the next few weeks. One of the chaps is going to help me strip and clean the bolt.I dont mind buying different mounts if that is what it takes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd90 Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 Winchester Super X subs were **** hot in my 22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 Eley and Winchester seem to work for many. Mine quite happily deals with Magtech 40g HP subs (I'll just go and put my tin hat on), and when I used to feed it HV the Remington Yellow Jacket HP were ok, and the CCI Velocitors were as good as any were likely to be, they cycled ok where as the CCI subs were very hard to chamber! Bottom line is you will need to try a few to see what you and the gun get on with!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Fudd Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 I'd avoid CCI ammo when others are available - it tends to jam in my CZ 452 .22 LR. the cci subs are very quiet, though are the dirtiest rounds ive ever put through my 10/22, left powder in the trigger and everywhere!

I found Magtech Subs to be a very dirty round as when you fired rounds off,it left a lot and I mean a lot of excess crud in the breech area!

There is something not right somewhere, you shouldn't have any problem with virtually any scope being able to adjust it to normal rimfire ranges! Cleaning the bolt may well help, there are one or two guides about on how to do this, and there are a few small bits to make sure you don't lose. The bolts do commonly get full of propellant waste and dirt, all the parts are available quite easily from Edgar Bros so any issues have a word with them. Standing the bolt upright and dripping 3-1 oil down the firing pin hole can help, needs to be left to penetrate thoroughly, but a good general strip and clean sounds a good plan!

skinny Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 cci's tend to get stuck in the breach of my CZ 425 too. i find it very hard to push the bolt forward and lock it down. does anyone else find this? think im going to go back to winnies or eley's.

vole Posted March 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 I thought that too Deker as lifting the objective end would make the muzzle point lower. Would a one piece mount be better ? Cheers for all replies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers for all replies. Being brutally honest you can "get away" with almost any mounts on a .22lr for general use. The calibre is so gentle and light that it's very kind to scopes. I'm not a fan of one piece mounts, just a personal thing, they have their uses and their fans!! Even on the easy gentle rimfire I like double screw mounts just the same, plenty to look at between about £12-£25 that should do the job. Do you have a mount issue or scope issue or are we unsure at this point?? No one piece mounts here!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vole Posted March 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 I am at the mercy of those who know better than me Dekers really. I dont like the idea of having cardboard stuffed between the scope and the mount . It is quite a big scope and I would get a smaller one if that would help too.

Dekers Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 I am at the mercy of those who know better than me Dekers really. I dont like the idea of having cardboard stuffed between the scope and the mount . It is quite a big scope and I would get a smaller one if that would help too. The scopes on mine are 3-12 in one case and 4-16 in all other cases, two different makes, but they all have 44mm objective and none of them are all that much over £100 list. Mounts are Pro Mounts or Sportsmatch or BSA(WMR) from memory! It is so difficult, and I am not for one minute suggesting everyone should go down this route, but they work for me..I have no desire or interest in spending any more at this time on rimfire scopes!! Good under the lamp as well!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bolts are easy enough to strip: and do not like any heavy oil/grease. If your gun is shooting low you need packing under the rear scope mount,personally I use 35mm film strip for packing(not more than 2 strips)although others may not agree.I have 452 Silhouette & find a Meopta 6x42 ideal for my needs(also used Tasco AG 3x9x50 & WTC 3.5x10x50 with no complaints but like the Meopta 4a reticle.My rifle is accurate with Winchesters(favourite),Eley subs & strangely CCi Velocitors but is fussy on stock bolt torque for accuracy,trigger is lovely with Brooke's kit.
