JRDS Posted December 26, 2018 Report Share Posted December 26, 2018 Lightly used SH Anschutz or HW? They make the best HMR's IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pigeon Shredder. Posted December 26, 2018 Report Share Posted December 26, 2018 For £500 you will get a complete package in a CZ 455/452, and you won't be disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benthejockey Posted December 27, 2018 Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 I got a brand new CZ452 silhouette, SAK mod, 3-9X40 scope and mounts and a box of bullets and got it all assembled and bore scoped so all I had to do was tiny adjustment to zero perfectly. That was £400 from Morgan’s in Oswestry and they aren’t the cheapest or at least weren’t last time I was there but they were very nice to deal with and very helpful. I haven’t used it in s while because I’m short of rabbits but like Walker mine is more accurate than me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benthejockey Posted December 27, 2018 Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 To be fair I’ve never bever shot it without the mod but it’s not terribly loud. The real noise comes from the bullet going supersonic. But I found unless you’re shooting at very weary bunnies they can often ignore the crack until they realise their mates are falling over.

Dekers Posted December 27, 2018 Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 For field work (and that's what the HMR is all about) there isn't anything worth talking about between all the well known brands, so save your money and invest in a CZ. Accurate, reliable, workhorse! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
