wymberley Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 If you really must have one, have a shufti at a Weihrauch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cottonseed Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 If you really must have one, have a shufti at a Weihrauch. +1. I can recommend the 60J, even with the German style stock and stumpy 14 inch barrel. There's usually a few on Guntrader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, 'fraid not. However, as always this is personal preference and if it's what you want then it's the right choice. I prefer the 22 Hornet for various reasons and excluding the 222 which is not a great deal different from the 223, then the Hornet is the next best thing following on from your mentor drift. If this makes any sense and you haven't emptied your wallet yet, if it were me, I'd see if a one for one with a hornet would also attract a mentor. Nothing to lose.

njc110381 Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 (edited) There's a good chance that asking for a Hornet could give you chance without a mentor. Put it to them that it's the smallest common centrefire you can get and they may see it that you're trying to work with them to get what you need whilst staying small. Power wise it's about half way between the HMR and the .223 - factory ammo offers around 600ft-lbs compared to the 1000+ of the .223 and the 250ish of the HMR. One thing's for sure though it will put a Fox down with a lot more authority than a HMR ever will! Every time I read a post like this I smile at the PW Hornet club. It's the same few members that push it - I guess you need to try it to appreciate it? Edit... Oh, did I mention that the CZ is one of the best Hornet rifles?

Nothing to lose. well i may go down that route in the future but for the mo i think i will try the hmr. dont wonna mess around with more forms and waiting i just wonna go shoot and enjoy what i have. saying that i one day plan to join a club i have allways wanted a lee enfeild .303 and may be a deer rifle, where will it all end Edited November 24, 2011 by Sheldon Cooper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajm1979 Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 I have a cz 452 in .22lr which and there will always be a space in the cabinet for it but I also have a Sako Quad in 17hmr and I think it is superb,better build quality than the cz great if your out for bunnies and Charlie pops his head head up at suitable range. I must add I would have it as a dedicated fox rifle I have a 22-250 for that but it certainly is a good tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Logic Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 I question the better build, I had a quad in HMR and it was plasticky and horrible. Should have had a cz. Equally, sold that in favour of Hornet. Much better than an HMR, much more authority to it. Same noise and same cost but more grunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullet boy Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 I also like the Savage range of 17HMR rifles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbird Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 Another vote for the savage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aister Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 i have a slot on my licence for a 17 hmr and if i was going to get one it would probably be a t-bolt, not that i have fired one, i just like the feel of it and the look. but i probably wont get one as i would prefer a 22 hornet. unless a loto win comes up of course. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheldon Cooper Posted November 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 marlin 917 vs in 17hmr... you would think marlin would make a good .17 wernt they involed in the making of the hmr??? i think i would lean more towardes the savage just because of the trigger althought i have never used either let alone fire a hmr. cant wait to get one but dont fancy buying 500 rounds for it they are expensive.

bullet boy Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 I know it's another CZ but I do like the look of the 455 Laminated Thumbhole version! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markm Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 (edited) Being a CZ owner and an HW owner I think I can give an unbiased opinion.
