Delwint Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 Well after only taking 5 weeks to process my Fac, yesterday was the first opportunity to get to the gun shop, ended up walking away with a pair of Tbolts in .22 and .17Hmr. Wife said as I was fitting bipods, I thought you were getting 1!!! ? good job she doesn’t know about the .223 slot ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought process, nope there wasn’t one mate. Except that I shoot quite a lot of rabbits nearish to houses so the .22 is for there as it’s a lot quieter and also it doesn’t destroy them like a hmr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

browning123 Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 I also use a .22lr and a .17hmr - and I previously favoured the 22 until I was shown the capabilities of the hmr by member Tedly47. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bear-uk Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 Love my laminate .22. Its as accurate as my longer barreled CZ which is now my night vision gun. 1st thing I did was to mod the trigger though. If you ever decide to take it apart you will see that the spring sits on a piece of plastic and not flush with the base of the unit. Therefore it is not in contact with the adjusting screw. A hot stanley knife blade soon sorts it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delwint Posted December 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 I had noticed when I took it to the farm to zero it the trigger was a tad on the heavy side mate. It will definitely need a fettle in the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitester Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 I have two t bolts in the calibres that you have. Good choice mate, I like the stainless bling:). There is always a place for both hmr and lr but the hmr can be loud which is why I'm switching the Nv back to the 22 for use around footpaths and houses. the trigger mod mentioned above is easy to do and well worth it, give me a shout if you want to know how to do it. mine are both composit sporter s, does the laminated stock have a higher cheek Combe that the composit stock?

Delwint Posted December 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 (edited) Sorry for the delay in replying I've been in the back end of nowhere all day. The stainless barrels certainly look nice and you'll not have to worry about corrosion, I will contact you about the trigger mod, with regards to the cheek comb they are very similar, with the laminated stock being only fractionally higher Edited December 19, 2017 by Delwint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
