How terrible for you, I get to push gravel up a hill in a wheelbarrow all day so I'll be ok. My thoughts will be with you, I hope you survive your ordeal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mil-Dot Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 The look of the stocks on these CZ's seems to vary a huge amount, mine looks much lighter and almost has a tigerstripe pattern to the grain. I guess it makes it more fun choosing one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jonrms Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 cz/ and 17hmrs have a flat trajectory right... so assuming you zero it at 50-100 it shouldnt matter a great deal... if at all. Am i right in thinking this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am i right in thinking this. no use the gun to its limit and then learn what it can do!! which is well well over 100 yards kirky i know ive had one for six month now they are great and shoot straight for furrther than you think just try it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jonrms Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 Kirky I was asking... if I have it zerod at 50 yards........ what is the drop rate on at 100... or do they shoot that strait that it is not effected. then you have 150... etc.. I just wanted to get a rough idea of its drop rate.. sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 I don't own one myself yet, but have a trajectory chart for one because I'm reading up on them! Take a look at http://www.varmintal.com/17hmr.htm and see for yourself. If you're anything like me, this site covers almost everything you need to know. Scroll down it a bit and there's a trajectory chart, saves me typing it all out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jonrms Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 Thanks for the information... I am still trying to read it.. I think its gonna be a few days before I can injest even a portion of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 Some of the more complicated stuff is still way over my head, and I've been reading through it for about a month! The simply put bits are ok though, and I found the various impact tests interesting. The coke can video is amazing to me, having only done it with 12ft-lbs and got a small splash at best. I'm going to have to try it for myself if I'm granted my cert! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wanted to get a rough idea of its drop rate.. sorry. no drop at 100 yards mate im no exspert ive just learned by shooting at targets and then sitting back with bipod on the bonnet and shooting a few rabbits at ove 120 yard its a grand piece of kit and the rounds are priced ok i think the remmington 17 grain boat tails i use workout at about 16 pence each i shot a rabbit last night at 100 plus yards just below the ear and you couldnt see the entry point but the exit was about half an inch round which is pretty good in ensuring a humane kill let me know how you get on out in the field cheers kirky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter_HMR Posted January 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 Cheers lads With regard to the zero the best i can find is a 100yrd zero everything from 25-100yrds will be within 0.4" so basically point and shoot, then 1" low at 125 3" low at 150 5" low at 175 and 8" low at 200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wanted to get a rough idea of its drop rate.. sorry. I zero 1/4 inch high at 50 to be "on" at 100 - it's a rough guide that works for me. Then shoot 25 - 125 yards without thinking about any hold over / under. Cheers Andy CM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
