I like your advice Mudgripz I won’t rush in to changing, I have put up a wanted on site for scope but now I’ve read you message I might do a bit more banging. I do love the gun for sure I have not quite managed to get enough focus but thats down to the eyes 👀 I think.
Thanks for the messageand like what you say. I Have done a fair bit of work myself in China and certainly know they can deliver some decent products. I was looking at CZ 452 but this handles very nice a well made bit of kit.

Of about 100 22LRs (standard barrel sporters) of various makes and models I've bench tested, the EM332 is the champ at 100m. (Note - final test is always four consecutive groups for me - not occasional singles). At 50m to my great surprise the champs are a pair of Marlin 60 semiautos. One averaged 0.29" (four 5 shot groups) and the other 0.39". Stunning...
CZ452 a fine 22. Of the two I'd take the EM332 but you will not go wrong with either.. EM would pop 0.5" groups at 100m with several different ammos, including some high velocity rounds like that excellent Aguila around a few years back. Bloody good ammo that - some guys will remember it. The Fiocchi blue packet HV around now (Target Products Timaru) is from the same mexican Industrios Technos factory, and apparently to same recipe. Has same rotten egg smell Eley primer and almost identical POI. Fiocchi very good HV 22LR ammo - esp good in alot of JW15s. 0.5" and better at best in the JWs. Worth a look...

- CZ452 American with barrel shortened to 15 inch and re-crowned by DPT
- Leupold VX2 3-9x33
- Hushpower Braveheart suppressor
- LimbSaver recoil pad as quick fix on LOP
The Braveheart will be replaced by an over-barrel suppressor shortly. I've been thinking about replacing the scope for sometime, but not doing enough shooting to justify it at the moment. I'd like more magnification and a BDC reticle, but that is a discussion for another day.
As it stands, it shoots very well. Clover leaf groups at 50 metres and minute of rabbit at 100 metres. I shoot off quad sticks as where I shoot isn't bipod friendly.

Thanks for advice on Ammo Mudgripz I want to see how they all compare, just a note on focus issue it appears that I have a small cataract on my right eye but not enough to stop me rabbiting just yet. Rotten egg smell a bit of sulphur in the load, I will check out target products.

Last bunny set up was old over/under 12g that made into combination gun Anshutz .22 match barrel and for Attachment 143530Attachment 143531distance work on hares with
.22 Hornet barrel nice simple single shot and now unfortunately sold, never mind eh! Using nice rear trigger. The match barrel was a bit heavy but made it nice and steady.

I would like to get one of these doesn’t have to be this stock in something like .243 and make up a .22 Hornet and a .22 lr Anschutz barrel to go with it even a 410
Wonder where I get the Bergara from at a good price, anyone got one? Might have to swap my latest purchase Norinco EM332 anyone want to swap. Would be good for small gun safe eh.

My shorty 22. Marlin XT-22 (had QA issues now sorted), Nikon Prostaff Rimfire fixed 4 power, barrel cut to 12" (shout out to MOA Engineering on the Taieri), fancy arse cheek riser, and currently using a Husssh plastic suppressor. Probably get a DPT for it. Shooting CCI Suppressor 45gr nicely, ok with standard CCI subs too.

1951 Brno mod1. Still has all original iron sights and foresight hood. I use a slip on suppressor (no way I’d cut/thread the barrel). Fitted with a minox 3-9x40. Loves CCI ammo, either the standard velocity or the segmented subs.

Nice posting @nzspearo
Love my #1. (Had a CZ455 for a while and hated it.)
Mine needed a bit of an overhaul. Was able to source reasonably cheap genuine parts from an Ebay seller in the Slovak Republic.
Got a foresight protector, new trigger guard trigger assembly, replacement screws for butt and trigger guard assembly, replacement sear, plus spare extractors half moon retaining clip and spare firing pin.
The seller was amazing, he had dozens of parts some secondhand many brand new. Where he had sourced them from??
The only thing I couldn't source was a replacement butt plate. Mine has shrunk (common) and is stretched between the 2 screws.
There was a guy in the States making replica butt plates but he didn't reply to my emails. Always keeping my eye open for one.
