crazyfrog Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 (edited) I am after a bit of advice, I have a few rifles on the go now, but have been looking at various .17hmr ones. I have finally settled on a CZ455 Varmint Stainless Screwcut barrel with Laminated Thumbhole stock. I am going to buy as decent enough moderator as I can for it, I want one that can bring the noise down to a half decent manageable level, but one that is reasonable light and not too large, again at a reasonable price. I know this is quite a narrow area on some of these points, but anyone have any ideas. Incidentally I have just spotted a Marlin in .17hmr, any views on this rifle, I am 99.9% on the CZ455, just wanted other viewpoints. Again what scopes to recommend up to about 24 mag.... many thanks in advance Edited July 11, 2012 by crazyfrog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bolt94 Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Well, I myself have had a similar dilemma recently. The moderator I chose was one by A-Tec @ £75 and I really think it is worth the money both lightweight and low cost! With regards to the rifle I would suggest having a look at the Browning T-Bolt it's a cracking piece of kit and 10round mag with a spare in the butt of the synthetic stock, very handy!. Similarly, I got a Hawke Sport HD 3-12 scope. Highly recommend!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olliesims Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 I have the cz455 varmint thumb hole but with blued barrel it's a great rifle accurate and looks good, the mod I use is a swift nighting gale £120 and is quiter than a hv .22 round in fact the noise is hardly a issue at all, good mod fully strip able and comes with a kit to take it apart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deiseboy Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 The lei stainless is a good mod and its lightweight and short and its the same diameter as the heavy barrel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiedenny Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 CZ455 th is cracking, I had a WMR and shot the HMR quite a bit, its much heavier than their 452 offerings but for good reason. Its been a long time since I've shot anything that fitted me as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallyrus Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 I've got this gun too, absolutely love it! I had to fit a lighter spring to the trigger but that's down to your personal preference, it's a simple job an costs about £10. I've got DM80 sat at the end of mine, £88. I've got a leapers 6-24x56 sat on top which I'm very pleased with, picked that up for £100 s/h optics are good on it, I like the high mag on scopes, head shot rabbits out to 130yds no problem and corvids further Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
