Taking the B22 back, not ejecting every time, pity I like the gun. but I get to buy another. Happy Days

I had the A22 , great wee semi in terms on accuracy and reliability . It had a couple of nice little design features but I had the rotary mag fail after 4-5 weeks..... piss poor design, plastic internals and just prone to fail again when I needed it most.
I haven't had a good run out of Savage rifles ever, maybe just bad luck but I have wanted to like them but lost all faith in them.

Must be spring again.

Wasn't expecting much, so only took one mag. I'll know better next time.
After spending quite a bit of time behind the 17 Hornet, I almost forgot how efficient and enjoyable the NV setup is on the 22lr.

We had an a17 with the same problems solved it tho upgraded it to a cz455

Stopped in for a quick Wallaby hunt on the way back from Twizel. Got a couple of nice hoppers with the 190gn Sub-X.

finally tried out the model #2 first shot dead rabbit at 10 yards,reloaded and shot hare at 50....not bad for first two rounds out of new rifle...dont know if will bother trying to sight it in LOL.

The new varmint rig, traded in the mighty Marlin 917. Looks like this season maybe a big one for rabbits and I have more properties to shoot than I can handle.
The Marlin was just starting to drop a little accuracy and reliability after 7000 + rounds.
Now have a new CZ 455 in 17hmr, Vortex Copperhead scope. Running the old DPT and bipod from the marlin.
New rig seems good, shoots like a CZ should with it already shooting sub MOA at 100mtrs. Should make a good work horse.

Where did you get the scope from?

single hare at about hundy...it was moving and about to hit heavy cover when 50grn zmax at 3600fps interrupted its plans.

Spotted this hare across the gully.


Sent the .22pill on the way with the dog in hot pursuit.



Bullet in the head

Gold scope on with a SS barrel is sooooo 80's, and your rings clash.

You enjoying the new CZ even with the bolt on the wrong side for you?

Hi @Joe_90 , yeah it's going well. It is still breaking in and settling down but already doing sub MOA.
Trigger was crap but a quick look on Youtube and a pair of snips to remove a couple of coils from the trigger spring dropped the break from 3.5 pounds to 1.5 and this has really helped.
Shot 61 rabbits with it after work on Tuesday, light enough to carry and shoot standing and still a good platform for sniping off the bipod.
Best shot to date 163 mtrs.
It will be a good work horse.
Got the Nighteater mounted yet ?
