A bolt 22.250 Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 On the new fac variation form were it says type of rifle can I put straight pull or bolt action or do I have to state one or the other it's for a 17hmr if that makes any difference I could be tempted by a browning T bolt at my local rfd but not sure yet if not I might go for anshutz? Any advice much appreciated!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srspower Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 A straight pull is still a bolt action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A bolt 22.250 Posted January 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 I did wonder so they class them the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannon Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Over here we must specify if it's a Straight Pull or a Bolt Action. There is a difference between the two actions, so apply for both to cover all bases. I'd even put in semi auto just incase you change your mind and fancy something different.

A bolt 22.250 Posted January 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Thanks cannon I already have a semi auto in .22rf and unfortunately that's the only rifle calibre were allowed over here in that configuration. It's just with turn around times being what they are I don't want to hold things up any more than needs to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srspower Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 I put down bolt action and bought a browning t bolt. Not a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landofficer Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 My experience with a t bolt .17 was terrible. In the shop the trigger seemed fine but in the field it was rubbish even on its lightest setting. Also with the rifle being really light weight it didn't seem to be steady on the target. I sold the gun straight away at a loss and got myself a cz455. Just my experience as was really disappointed with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beretta06 Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 My Blaser has a straight pull bolt - but it is still a bolt action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BattleFieldRelics Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 I just put bolt action on mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A bolt 22.250 Posted January 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Thanks all for in forcing my original thoughts" I'm gone go with just bolt action as I don't want to confuse the issue and hope that it covers both I can't believe even Gloucestershire police can be that pernickety.

srspower Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 (edited) My experience with a t bolt .17 was terrible. In the shop the trigger seemed fine but in the field it was rubbish even on its lightest setting. Also with the rifle being really light weight it didn't seem to be steady on the target. I sold the gun straight away at a loss and got myself a cz455. Just my experience as was really disappointed with it I was shooting mine in .22lr today at the range and had a go at comparing it to my friends CZ 452 in .22lr. There is no doubt the trigger was better in the 452 but it has had a new tuned trigger unit fitted running 2.5lbs. And the CZ being heavier makes it a better range gun. But in the field the lightweight of the T bolt makes it really handy and pointable especially free standing. In the end our groups were similar, I think the T bolt does take mastering and I may get the trigger done (4lb currently) but if you work with it you can shoot well with it. I have literally had it shooting through the same hole at 50 metres before. Edited January 11, 2015 by srspower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshMike Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Go for an Anschutz 1517. I have the 18" barrelled version with the thumbhole stock, love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
