Now I just need to find somewhere to stretch its legs a bit.

Thought I would see more semi automatic. 22 in this thread.
This one's pretty good.

"b/a more accurate "
Not necessarily.
Of about 100 sporter 22s I've tested off the bench firing four consecutive groups at 50m, to my huge surprise the most accurate standard barrel 22s are two Marlin 60 semiautomatics. One averaged 0.29" over four 5 shot groups, and the other averaged 0.39". With hunting ammos. A 1997 60DL and a 2011 60DLX with microgroove barrels. R93 on the Coast tells me he now has that 2011 60DLX and has won alot of comps with it. Not surprised -little precision shooters. Most of the Marlin semis - have had about 7-8 different model types - will drop under 0.5" at 50m at best with favoured ammos.
A bolt was best at 100m with a Norinco EM332 averaging 0.6" over four groups at 100m.
The rifle is an original Bunny Buster from Christian in Nelson. It's bedded into a Boyds Evolution SS stock, which is a little short for me. The stock is laminated & plenty strong enough. I think the barrel is 12 inches + suppressor in a carbon sleeve. Christian told me he made them from Truflite barrels with a tight chamber. You have to keep it clean or the ejector doesn't always pull an unfired round from the chamber. the trigger has had some work & is reasonably light, but with a little creep. Those would have been shot at between 50-100 yards.
Used to use Winchester 40 subs but have found he CCI is more accurate in it.
It's a cool little rifle, great for possums & the boys enjoy shooting steel spinners with it.
How did they compare with an Annie 54 ??Quote:

I had to zero at 65m as the scope bottomed out but that does give me the full elevation allowing me to get out to 290m.
Only victim so far was a magpie at 152m.
Yeh, that was the 1st shot then a steady right to left breeze came up for the rest of group....still pretty happy thoQuote:

Hey @Gerbs its actually been quite nice for a relatively cheap scope. Ive had it on my lightweight carbon 300wsm for last couple years and its held up fine. Always held zero and dialled reliably.Quote:

Also they say they have 17mils of adjustment but this particular one only has 14

Awesome rifle although a bit heavy (so it's a neverending search for a comfy sling and backpack mount)
Works great with cheap Federal Champion 36grn bulk ammo.

One of my bunny guns which I absolutely love... it just kills so well.

that M1 archer ok for bunnies @Seventenths ? Trying to decide if I will be ok with a wide beam M1 or do I need to cough some money up for something bigger.
M1 is perfect!Quote:

Battery life was sweet, it lasted me a good 3 hours before going flat but it wasn’t on the whole time, turn on scan, shoot, turn off... walk a bit, repeat & you can change the power setting to suit!

My other two bunny shooters.
Ruger 10/22 which I had a bit of work done through "gundoc" who lightened the trigger and sorted out the jamming issue though as long as it's cleaned with a bit of lube it runs well.
I topped off the rifle with a Vector Optics scope which are great wee scopes and excellent value for money and I also swapped out the crappy plastic stock for a Magpul stock, they look weird but when you use one they feel great and in a couple of minutes I can shorten the length of pull for the kids!
The other rifle I have is a CZ 452 .22 LR which I bought a few years back as I always wanted a quality bolt action .22 and this one was stunning with its stock just sitting on the rack so home it came.

Great to see ya dressing em out GWH, will be beauty in the slow cooker :cool:
I too expected to see a few more semis. Apparently under the new law you can have a pistol grip AR style stock on a 10/22. Ruger 10/22s are the new rifle that can be accessorised and blinged up.
It seems to be how the americans market stuff buy a rifle bike or something like that then spent heaps on accesories to try and get it to work properly or buy something else that doesnt need all the blingy shit
Not a rimfire rabbit gun, but a rabbit gun none the less. Diana PCP air rifle. .25 cal. Arken 4-14 scope, which is surprisingly nice (Cheers Ken at 55six). Chosen as it was one of a handful of scopes that has adjustable parallax that will go down below 10m.
Hits the .22 spinners pretty hard, so cannot wait to introduce this to the bunnies close to the house, and on the properties they won't let me onto with a .22.

What sort of velocity does it poke em out at?Quote:

So, cz or savage for a bolt 17hmr?
I would choose the CZ over the Savage but to be fair my marlin is brilliant too and I've seen no reason to upgrade.Quote:

Its cheap but very effective, never tried to work out the mildots as I generally don't shoot it much past 150 yards.
Might figure it out one day when I have time to play
Savage have a nicer trigger, and more accurate than the one or two CZs I've compared them with - but you can get better and worse examples of both of course.Quote:

Both are good options, might depend which qualities you value more and which one fits you best.
I put one of these on my .17 HMRQuote:

Great scope, solid, good clear glass with 30 mm tube, very fine dot so i find it great for bunnies.
If you order to scope they come with their own scope rings which fit onto a picatinny rail but i had to order a set of dovetail rings in order for it to fit on my CZ.

Has anybody used a savage a22? I'm looking for a semi suto 22 and trying to get an accurate one
Get a marlin 795, plenty accurate and reliable little shooter.
I miss my old 917VSF
Hunting the golf course was civilised bunny shooting.
150-180 yard head shots

Been thinking about getting one of these. I like the price! Do they cycle subs?Quote:

A major design fault in my opinion and enough to make me sell the rifle as a future failure was likely again.Quote:
