gibby Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 Purchased one a few weeks back... top gun, use the .17 barrel. Has a nice trigger on it although i do prefer quite a light trigger so had a fiddle with my one. Very light gun and nicely balanced. You want one? Theres one going on the bbs forum i think. Paid £440 for my one. Gibby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibby I can get one new for 420... with the one barrel but its the scope i want to know about apparently there is a scope thats been designed for this gun with 4 sets of calibration settings, one for each barrel? is the trigger two stage? How have you been getting on with yours any jams or other problems with the eject? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunganick Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 burris make a scope which basically has 4 target style turrets organised into colours. Its a gimik, with a quality scope with target turrets you could do just the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibby Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 Thats a good price... Nope no problems with the ejecting, sends em flying. No its a single stage trigger but a nice one. As for the scope, the burris one, it looks to compicated for me, you could have the same thing with a normal scope, just write down how many clicks you change when you change the barrel and you got the same thing at no extra cost, i did look at the scope and i thought it was a hell of alot of money for what it is.

dunganick Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 sako have traditionally offered a combination of trigger options on their centerfire rifles for a price, they might do likewise on the finfire, order a brochure from GMK (its free) and take a look.

^mimic^ Posted September 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 will the Brookes kit fit it? Buy a quality rifle new for near half a grand and have to rip out the trigger mech straight away :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy a quality rifle new for near half a grand and have to rip out the trigger mech straight away :blink: No the brookies kit is for a CZ, most sako owners would be pretty insulted if you even suggested the CZ and Sako had anything in common. My point is if you look at the sako centerfire range they have always offered several trigger options (normally single set triggers) as a factory installed option. It may be they offer something similar for the Quad (although i wouldnt hold your breath) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunganick Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 give the single stage unit a go, they are really very good. And the CZ's have what effectively becomes a single stage trigger once you have fitted the brooks kit. Weihrauch HW60/66 have 2 stage triggers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weihrauch HW60/66 have 2 stage triggers Ok one last question how does the accuracy compare between the two? cz & sako , and does it look like a fence post with a moderator cus i noticed they only do it with the 22 inch barrel Anyone have a picture of their sako quad with a moderator fitted?

dunganick Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 Axe will have a picture of a sako with mod. You can always have your gun cut down, recrowned and re proofed which shouldnt cost much more than £60-80. CZ's can shoot very very well, their barrels are very good, however if you want consistant accuracy go with the sako finfire (i know a few quad owners who complain of shifting zero'd when they remove and replace the moderators) Cz's are very good for what you pay, but unless you are willing to mess around with pilar bedding, floating glass bedding amoungst other things, they will not turn in the reliable accuracy that a sako finfire will. I can say this as i have a cz :blink: but wouldnt swap it for the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
^mimic^ Posted September 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 Im sure the finfire is a fine rifle and this is no way ment to cause offence to anyone, But personally cannot stand Wood, I just hate Tree being on a rifle, It's got to be ABS or no deal.

WOMBLEHUNTERS Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 OH no you don't want to cut it up or do anything to it, leave it as god intended, trigger is gritty as are all of them even at, the lightest setting, use eley subs and it will give you no trouble use winchesters and you'd better carry a knife or grow your finger nails, heard that the quad barrels are match grade barrels and that is why the rifle lands are machined so close , (explains why they are so accurate too), put thousands of rounds through mine and it is still the most accurate rifile I have ever owned, and I've owned a few ( a few mingers too), burris scope is a joke , my mate bought 1 and even with all the colour coded nonscence they do not return to perfect zero everytime, so what is the point , grit your teeth hide your next months credit card statement from the wife and by a hungarian 8x56 SB and be done with it , nobody would buy a burris scope before what makes people think an air rifile scope is going to do it now. In all honesty once you put the 17 hmr barrel on you will never use the .22 again anyway, they really are a lot of gun for the money. cz's look like fenceposts perform like fenceposts , fencepost would be more accurate, taks it out of the sleeve evryone says had one of them , take a quad out of the sleeve evevryone says "what is that" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
^mimic^ Posted September 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 hide your next months credit card statement from the wife Lol no kiding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caplock Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 take a quad out of the sleeve evevryone says "what is that"......... you say an overpriced gimmicky bit of tat that must be good cos I've just splurged the thick end of £500. any of the guns today will outperform the shooter, buy a cz and splurge on decent glass up top. at 200 yards the cost of your rifle won't be a factor but seeing the target is the decider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadeye ive Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 take a quad out of the sleeve evevryone says "what is that".........you say an overpriced gimmicky bit of tat that must be good cos I've just splurged the thick end of £500. any of the guns today will outperform the shooter, buy a cz and splurge on decent glass up top. at 200 yards the cost of your rifle won't be a factor but seeing the target is the decider And if i may add .........ammunition ,or putting it bluntly consistancy of powder primer and bullet wieghts ....the .17 ain't no 200 yd cartridge IMO but I agree with the above As i have the CZ Varmint which is superb btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axe Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Ive, have you tried the .17HMR at 200 yards, just curious to compare results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
^mimic^ Posted September 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 so you think the Cz will out perform the Sako in accuracy department? interesting. Anyone care to post some photos of groups on siting sheets or targets please 50 yard subs 100 yard hv's . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
