Thread: Brno Fox query

‘Shoots ok is just under 1” in field conditions, which is pretty good I guess. The blueing is quite badly worn in places, it has been shortened and has no open sights. The CZ barrel would be 1 in 9 twist which might be too tight for 222? Ok for 55gr perhaps?

My CZ 223 has a 1:9 barrel and it shoots stunning groups with down to 40 gr V-Max projectiles which were actually bought for my Hornet.
Have some 35 V-Max projectiles for the Hornet as well which I might try in the 223 one day, for giggles.

It also shoots great groups with 53gr and 55gr projectiles but couldn't get it to group with heavier stuff like 69gr which the 1:9 should stabilise.
