    New 17hmr owner what shoots best?

    Re: New 17hmr owner what shoots best? My little CZ 452 varmint likes to eat the CCI. I did what you guys did, i.e. bought a box of each brand and tried to ferret out what worked the best. By accident I purchased a box of FMJ but have yet to try it. At this point I will settle for what is...

    Rifle Scopes Why is FFP more expensive?

    Re: Why is FFP more expensive? Seriously, Sometime if I could afford the experience, it would be fun to deconstruct a few scopes just to see what really IS in there. As with all other things in general, I would suppose it actually does take quite a bit of added work to make FFP function...

    Which .17 HMR Rifle do you recommend?

    Re: Which .17 HMR Rifle do you recommend? My hunting Buddy shoots a savage with the drop in trigger and it is sweet. As far as the cost of ammo, Yes a box of 17 is a tad pricey, but when hunting I only pull the trigger when I have a target which could be anywhere from once to a bunch if...

    Re: Which .17 HMR Rifle do you recommend? eleaf, I feel ya man... took my baby out yesterday for a "nature" walk.... wind was cooperating but man was it cold. The ability of this round to hit with accuracy at what I would have previously thought impossible ranges for a rimfire , is simply...

    17 hmr grouping size

    Re: 17 hmr grouping size Funny isn't it , how different ammo suits different rifles. I am completely infatuated with this little cartridge right now. I was at the SAR show over the weekend, in Phoenix, and kept going back to buy more 17 HMR ammo, when normally I would be much more focused on...

    CZ 452-2E ZKM LH AMERICAN in silhouette

    Re: CZ 452-2E ZKM LH AMERICAN in silhouette I'm a righty, but my cz 452 .22 has been the rifle I throw over my shoulder during evening walks with the wife for many years. I shoot mostly Rem sub-sonic ammo so its quiet and superbly accurate from shoulder or bench. Recently I picked up a 452...

    17 hmr grouping size

    Re: 17 hmr grouping size I just started testing on my CZ 452 varmint last week. I bought one or two boxes of every brand of ammo I could get my hands on. Although the ammo may be loaded by the same contractor, their are slight differences. For me, the consistently best accuracy, has come from...

    Which .17 HMR Rifle do you recommend?

    Re: Which .17 HMR Rifle do you recommend? My new little CZ 452 varmint, is stunningly accurate. Ammo is a bit pricey comp to .22, but that is the price you pay for accurate and flat shooting.

    Rifle Scopes Best optic for a CZ varmint .17 HMR ?

    Re: Best optic for a CZ varmint .17 HMR ? I was looking at the nightforce 2.5-10 x 32.... but it costs twice what the rifle does. Still you can never go wrong with good equipment.... this will require some thought.

    Rifle Scopes Best optic for a CZ varmint .17 HMR ?

    Only optics I have used recently are USO and SB. This is a $450 rifle, and I have little experience with optics suited to this range and caliber. Knowledgeable suggestions, would be greatly appreciated. Reticle should be suitable for small varmint work.

    Caliber suggestions for LR Rifle Build

    Re: Caliber suggestions for LR Rifle Build 3.5"..... then this would work for you. As I said, with the VLD I am at 2.945... the boat tail would be about 2.845 so that leaves you with considerable room to run the bullet out. It is my opinion though, that the 7 RSAUM, with its longer neck, and...

    what to expect with ,223 @ 1000 yards.

    Re: what to expect with ,223 @ 1000 yards. Shooting at 1K with .223 is akin to running a 440 carrying rocks in your hands....Yes, a good runner will still do well. Beyond a thousand it would be akin to carrying a bowling ball. Even an olympic runner aint gonna beat you.
