First time out for me too! Gave me a real buzz considering I'd set the rifle up myself.

 

There's an amazing number of bunnies on the permission. Only walked 200yds or so, rested on a fence and dropped 5 without moving on.

 

ranges from 40yds to 70ish. Was out of house about an hour and 10mins and that included 1/2 hour travelling time!

 

Am well pleased!! :good:

Nice one Greenhunter, :good:

what caliber, mod, scope you got?

I got the CZ varmint 16" .17hmr with wildcat whisper mod & Nikko sterling Gameking 4-16x50 with harris 9-13 swivel bi-pod & after zeroing my scope myself (5 shots within an inch @ 80 meters, consistently) i visited my 3 permissions, 34 acres, 240 acres & 250 acres .After i visited all 3 of them several times in the day, twice at dusk & have stayed on & lamped em for several hours after, i have not seen a rabbit.

Only saw one rabbit & that had already seen me & scarpered. :blush:

Has somebody told em i've got a new gun? I used to knock em off with my air rifle.

Whats going on?

Nice shooting bud. The .17hmr is a brilliant rabbit busting calibre. I have the American CZ452 with DM80 mod and it's just a fantastically accurate rifle. Have you had the spring sorted with a trigger kit yet? I got one off the bay (4 tubes and 4 springs) for a tenner... Trigger pull went from around 5lbs to exactly 1lb... MAJOR difference!

Hi Humperdingle,

 

Can you give me any info about the trigger kit off the bay? Sellers name etc...

Has it improved your rifle?

cheers,

Terry.

Thanks for all the comments Guys.Its appreciated.

 

And for tbeagley(plus other interested parties) mods a sirocco SM11, scopes a Nikko Stirling 4-12x50 AO. Nothing special but it does the job it seems!

 

 

What mounts you got on there? They seem slightly lower than mine.

Cheers,

Terry.
