jimmyb79 Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 Hi all, I've just had a variation signed off to add a .17 hmr to my FAC - nearly 4 months and still waiting for my cert. Kent police seem to be awful at the moment although its been with my FEO for a month and a half before he called... Anyhow- I have a 452 silhouette in .22lr and I'm thinking I may go for the Style in .17hmr but since I'll be lamping with it wondered whether anyone had experience of lamping with the Style and whether the stainless barrel caused any glare issues? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hornet 6 Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 I had a nickel plated CZ wmr and that was ok, as was a stainless X bolt, the problem is usually the moderator. If you did get glare a strip of black tape along the top of the barrel would fix it. Neil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peek-at Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 (edited) The style doesnt have a stainless steel barrel but has a nickel plated barrel which has a dull finish and is more hardwearing than blueing. I have the 'style' 16" barrel and have no problems with glare. If you were so inclined, you can get neoprene barrel covers.............. link Edited December 28, 2012 by peek-at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyb79 Posted December 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 Perfect, thanks chaps. Didn't realise that the nickel was harder wearing than the blued finish so thanks for that. I suffer from glare from my SAK moderator on my silhouette anyway, and my solution to that is some electrical tape over the bottom third of my objective lens. Will be picking up a .17hmr style as soon as that variation comes through! Cheers and happy new year to all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redgum Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 I have 452 varmints in both 22lr and 17hmr, using a clulite lamp, it has an attachement to hold the lamp on a 25mm scope and this conveniently fits on the heavy barrelled varmint barrel. I clamp the lamp underneath the barrel and this gets rid of any reflection issues what so ever. I have tested accuracy with lamp on and off and does not effect accuracy either though not sure how this would work on the lighter barrelled style or silhouette models.

ben0850 Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 I've a CZ455 in HMR and an older CZ (actually a BRNO) in .22Lr. Glare when lamping has been an issue on both rifles from Sak moderators however a scope sun-shade extension sorted it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rimfireboy Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 I've got a CZ style hmr with matt black l.e.i. Mod. Not noticed any problems with glare. I'd recommend one. Atb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
