Gun Watch Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 CZ CZ 527 £650 .22 Hornet Rifle Private Seller Used - Very Good Condition Birmingham, West Midlands Bolt Action Description I'm toying with the idea of selling my beloved Hornet. She is the American model. I bought her 2nd hand and she shoots GREAT! I can consistently get 0.6 moa groups with 35gr V-Max homeloads, which are devastating on foxes and rabbits. This model has the single set trigger (which I love), 5 shot magazine and standard wooden stock. Included: The Rifle, PES Stainless moderator (currently in camo tape), Bushnell Legend 5-15x40 AO and some home-load rounds (not guaranteeing any quantity as I still use it). I will also give the load data for my loads. The rifle came to me having shot 110 rounds (apparently) and I've put maybe 200 - 250 through it. The only reason I'm selling this cracking little rifle is that I'm buying a NiteSite Spotter and need the money. I really don't want to sell it but I rarely get the chance to shoot in daylight hours (which is what I bought the Hornet for to replace my HMR) and when it's night-time, I tend to use my 10/22 on the rabbits and 223 on the foxes. The Hornet does do both but I'm usually accompanied on night shoots and I feel rather greedy shooting everything :-). There are a few people on this forum who have seen it shoot and can vouch for its accuracy and consistency. For the above, I would like £650. I obviously have all the reloading gear which I may sell if the offer is right. Redding Deluxe die set which are about £85 new, powder, primers and heads. Once funds allow, I may buy another Hornet so I'm not desperate to sell the reloading gear so please, no silly offers. I'm based in South Birmingham and travel around a lot for work (in Scotland tomorrow) so I may be able to help out with meeting up etc. Thanks. This gun is being sold by Pigeon Watch member Dagben77.

simon1979 Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 Ive seen this hornet in action, and its spot on, we've taken foxs out with easy at 200 yards and unlike my hmr the dont get up and run off. In fact it groups better then my sako .243 which i hate to say. good luck with the sale, some one will get a great buy with the above atb simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kent Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 I use pretty much the same rig (though with 45s) and it serves me well enough, a good rifle well suited to the Hornet chambering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagben77 Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Just to add, I have been informed that this is not the American, but the Lux version. Not sure what the difference is, but sorry for misleading anyone. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 The stock has too much of a hogs back appearance to be an American to it but does the LUX not have dark ebony type tippings to the forearm and pistol grip? You might wish to check that out I am not sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagben77 Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Price drop to £600. It's a cracking little rifle. Ben. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
