Steve29 Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 (edited) Anyone had any experience of these and got anything good/bad to say about them? Not much to read about them on t'internet. I'm after a cheap but decent rabbiting rifle with synthetic stock and black barrel and this seems to fit the bill at about £350 for the full package (rifle,scope,mod).

vole Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 (edited) Thats expensive. One here branners on Guntrader for cheaper. I was interested in Mossberg rf's but could not find much good said about them. Brazilian made by CBC I believe . I went for a Marlin when I got my HMR and apart from my accuracy cant fault it. They have a .22 rf and I paid £275. Good trigger,threaded and synthetic. Was nearly tempted by Winchester Wildcat made by Russian makers Tula also. Cheaper still but and threaded. It gets featured on Youtube alot. Edited July 6, 2010 by vole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vole Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 (edited) Hi Steve. Its the 917. Edgar Bros in Macclesfield import them so handy for spares if ever need them. It has 20in barrel and open sights but I think it is a good no frills rifle .I was tempted by Mossbergs and posted on here for info too but was put off. Could not find any bad reports on these either. http://www.abgunsmiths.co.uk/shop/winchest...e0395394026f29e Edited July 7, 2010 by vole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzy Fudd Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 if its the one im thinking of (a semi auto) why not got for a ruger 10/22? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katash Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 I've heard the Marlin 795 is slightly more accurate out of the box due to microgroove barrel and less fussy on ammo than the 10/22 - Plus its cheaper. Shot one at my local gun club few weeks ago and I thought it was great - However there are not as many after market mods for the marlin as there are the 10/22. Again Edgar Bros are importers for Marlin AFAIK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve29 Posted July 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 In the states they are generally regarded as a childs "plinking gun!" Save your money and buy a cz! I guess I should have figured that from the name 'Plinkster'! Anyhow I reckon i'll try and pick up a CZ Silhouette, seems like they're the one for me. Now just need the FAC to hurry up!
