carthos Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 I recently bought a Magtech semi from the local rifle club ,( as below) it had been stood there a while , a light cheepo rifle , £35 second hand in superb cond. For this money i thought i can live with the semi auto & get some use, but to my distress i cannot get it to shoot reliably or semi-accurate. Ok, it was £35 , as new, with synth stock & a 6x40 tasco scope (the stock must be valued at that!!) & screw cut. I am at my witts end what to do with it now !! I have tried all the ammo, remmington, ely, winchester,even magtech, but to no joy. I have cleaned it through, re-crowned it at 11deg, polished the sear,poliched the action..what now ?? http://gunmart.net/gun_review/cbc_magtech_model_7022/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 You worked out why the rifle was cheap and gained no interest. Take it to your local Police station. Hand over the rifle, requesting that it be destroyed. Submit an application for a one-for-one variation at the same time. Then buy a CZ bolt-action.

LostWomble Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 (edited) First try it without the scope, just on iron sights. It may say Tasco but it may be an ebaytastic hongkong special. How inaccurate is it? Edited August 24, 2009 by LostWomble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glensman Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Borrow a decent scope and mounts off someone mate and then try it... It's more likely to be the optics than the gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B) I think you summed it up in 1 my friend, the optics are bauch & lomb, & are superb. Edited August 24, 2009 by carthos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 I had a Bausch & Lomb scope. It was absolutely fantastic (I wish I had never sold it). As you probably know, Bushnell bought the B&L brand in the 1990s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miniwizard Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 i checked one of these out once,the barrel was'nt set into the action straight,my mate has one,he's had to get an adjustable scope base to get it on paper at 50 yards,£35, you were robbed,take it back and demand your money back,tell him you cant hit anything with it.

bullet boy Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Get yourself a Ruger 10/22-a proper semi! B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glensman Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 You wont get one for £35! But it's probably the way to go... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carthos Posted August 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 The amount of home work & re-working i done on this stick it owes me a fortune, its going back, i seen a nice cz 581 in the same place for a few ££ more..this magtech thing is scrap I clocked the stock & barrel alignment & its aint bad, im going to try the float barrel technique & have a 5lb lift on the barrel at the stock end, about 1" up, my Last resort !
