texas Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Bought my new rifle a couple of months ago, a cz455 thumbhole in 17hmr and only just got round to posting a pic of it. Ime absolutely thrilled to bits with it as its accounted for many skittish long range rabbits out to 120+ yards. I will post more pics as I get out more with it.

Trev Hi, I have exactly the same rifle mate, I have changed the 4lb trigger pressure to 2lb using s yodave kit, I have changed the trigger guard to the anodised aluminium version as they rust fast when is steel, and I am totally crazy about how cleam my rifles are, a full 30 mins session after a shoot in the field... I have a sak moderator, full length barrel version rifle... harris SL bipod and a simmons 6-18X40 scope with parralax etc... range finding objective bell etc... all dreased up on a seasame seed bun (pic available) I have created a dope chart for it, and using this for drop and wind calcs never do kentucky windage on long shots, I have taken bunnies regularly at 300yrds, the energy at that range is 32ft lbs delivered to the quarry, if you have zeroed at 100yrds the adjustments for 300 are 98 clicks on a 1/8 MOA scope like mine Awesome rifle, I love it so much, regular thumbnail groups at 100yrds (trigger kit helped) Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
