turbo33 Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 (edited) I had been struggling with my cz455 17hmr thumbhole to get anything like the accuracy others seem to (see guns and equipment http://forums.pigeonwatch.co.uk/forums/topic/246174-hmr-accuracy/ Having tried everything I decided to chop it in for a CZ452 and give that a go before going to specsavers My confidence was at an all time low with this HMR accuracy thing and the weighing scales tipped very heavily towards the 452 being so good. So variation in. Surrey police as efficient as usual, back through my post box in 4 working days The CZ455 is a bit of a lump at close on 7lbs, The CZ452, synthetic stock all up with Mtc Mamba and Atec mod is a shade over 5lbs. Consequently, it will open up the shooting opportunities as its easy enough to carry for long distances Typically, the minute I collected it, the wind round here got stuck in and put paid to any zeroing for the last week. I had a small window today whilst between jobs, so flew into one of the farms I shoot. Although it was quite breezy still, I quickly threw a target out at 50 yards, loaded up with Winchesters and within 5 shots was on the bull. I had 4 shots left in a case so, now running a bit behind, ran the target out to 100yards, quick dash back and pumped the 4 shots off. Grabbed the target, kit and headed back off to work. So a less than ideal conditions, but very pleased with the results. 1" high at 100yds, so I dialled off 8 clicks on the elevation that should put me fairly close to the bull next time out Confidence back, I am really looking forward to seeing what this cracking little outfit can do Edited May 17, 2013 by turbo33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tignme Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Surely 8 clicks would leave you 1" low.* 1/4s = 2" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbo33 Posted May 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Surely 8 clicks would leave you 1" low.* 1/4s = 2" The Mamba is calibrated at an 1/8th, my other scopes are 1/4. Its kind of good and bad. I'm not good enough to get within an 1/8th, and it does mean twice the number of clicks, but hey ho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rapid basher Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 I have the 452 in a 16inch very happy Until the wind comes out the only fault I find is the ammo price @14 for 50 I don't use it a mutch as I'd like And that's the cheapist in the southwest Norm in £17 for rem & horn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbo33 Posted May 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 £15 for Winchester and remingtons round here, at £10 a box although considerably cheaper,most of the dealers near me won't stock Hornadays anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
