dieseldogg Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 As compared to the Weihrauch HW60J or Anschutz 1517, it simply felt "better" This after eliminating Ruger ( poor trigger) and Savage ( horrible mag arrangment on the Savage) Well I needed to narrow it down I liked the magazine and its fitment / removal on the Quad( which at first I had ruled out as gimmicky) So I buy the Quad with the .17HMr and .22LR Sorted Except I cannot help but wonder as to the "return to zero" after changing the barrels back and forth. Any comments? And yes I know I could buy two CZ's for the same just sub £800 cost. PS My local RFD was probably wrong , Krico appear to make these rifles for Weihrauch As deduced from the slightly different Weihrauch engraving on the Weihrauch rifle, ie different from the engraving of the Serial No / Caliber / other details, as engraved by the manufacturer.. Poiret ? would be proud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Burpster Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 From just playing with my mates (oooooeeeer missus) Quad, I would suggest that even with the Burris Quad 'scope and resetting for your seperate barrels it would be unwise to go shooting without 1st putting a group on paper and re-checking zero after the change...... .....and I'm not one of the "anti Quad tree hugging bunny loving left wing pinko conspiracy theorists I actually like the Quad and am contemplating the purchase of one with .17HMR and .22WMR barrels. I think they are a great bit of kit.... (not quite as nice as the Finnfire, but then you cant change barrels on that..) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breastman Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 My quad holds its zero's after switching barrels, so with a scope with resettable turrents (MTC Viper), i just zeroed the .22lr barrel. Reset the turrets, then switched to .17hmr, zeroed that and marked the turrets so i can just dial between depending on where i am/what i'm shooting. If your scope doesn't have resettable turrets you'll just have to mark it up twice. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieseldogg Posted June 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Ok guys, thanks for that, sounds promising Not absolutly sure about getting both, since I only enquired about the .17 option but in with a reasonable chance ( ******, GMK just confirmed, the Pro Hunter is special order in the UK.... with 9 months leadtime) And *** can I not fit a .22LR Pro Hunter barrel ( complete with open sights) to a Varmint action for club compititions and have a .17HMR Vermint barrel for bunny bashing, cos I like the Varmint woodwork Dammn & blast ( again) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dieseldogg Posted June 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 (edited) Elvis, you are Evil, My eyes have glazed over............................................. took 20 minutes staring at screen left mind Anyway where was I Oh yes rifles not wobbly trifles Anyway anyway ITs N Ireland over here, still a wee bit backward about multiple examples of the same caliber and yes i appreciate i could suggest a Hunter Pro in .22 and the Varmint in .17 cepting the sights are still a 9month special order at £120 extra. PS The FAC officer was round inspecting my cabinet etc & I have reasonable grounds to expect getting both barrels as requested. A .223 ( Anschutz ) next for foxes , seems a .308/7.62 is considered too much. PPs Where do you source those wobbly trifles Edited June 8, 2009 by dieseldogg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dieseldogg Posted June 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Hmmm, As a failed Civil Engineer.................... I would obviously appreciate a link to such a useful site That aside How does £190.00 EXTRA for the set trigger option on the Quad grab you A trifle excessive, I thought cheers M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Burpster Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 When spare mags for the C/F rifles are £75 each really thats a bargain..... :yp: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 A .223 ( Anschutz ) next for foxes :yp: An outstanding choice, a rifle that's both beautiful and terrifyingly accurate. I would love one, but those bell-ends at Anschutz refuse to cater for left-handers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Baldrick, It is all to do with the master race, left handers would not have been tolerated. :yp: :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieseldogg Posted June 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 (edited) Strange that, Baldrick, as I recall from my earlier days of shooting enthusiam , that Anschutz were one of the best /most proactive for providing for lefties ( or was that Target rifle only ) I take it they are flat out satisfying us righties for now............. right on there too :yp: so wait your turn Cheers M Edited June 10, 2009 by dieseldogg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 It is all to do with the master race, left handers would not have been tolerated. :o MC, you live on Mersea Island - you cannot lecture people on master races or the tolerance of sub-humans. Strange that, Baldrick, as I recall from my earlier days of shooting enthusiam ,that Anschutz were one of the best /most proactive for providing for lefties ( or was that Target rifle only ) I take it they are flat out satisfying us righties for now............. right on there too :yp: so wait your turn Anschutz makes plenty of rimfires for lefties, but to my disappointment, the centrefires are off-limits.
