Thread: critter gun

So with the AR gone Im starting to kick around ideas for a walkaround 223 /222. Mostly wallabys , ocasional deer ect. Not really interested in the usual tikka/sako .CZ stuff so what eles is out there?
budget 3k ish if its nice, prefer wood but open minded.

Just bolted an ironman 4x4 bash plate to it tonight. Horse has obviously bolted but better late than never I guess

have a look around for a zastava...... there have been a few come up recently...they are a really nice honest work horse that isnt half bad to look at and give some love with an oily rag at end of day to clean off the blood and debris.

Cheers, Yes good honest gun but Im looking for something a little off the beaten track more than a work horse.
Shultz and larsen legacy maybe, that sort of thing.

Didn't you have a Weirauch at one time . . . they do a 222 I think

Yes I have one in .17 hmr. good thought, Id have to check the twist rate.

Go old school, keep your eye out for a nice Sako Vixen in 222

Nice rifles but Im just not a sako fan and the twist rate is going to be an issue , and Iv got a bsa hunter in 222 already.

Levers are fun but they give up a little to much in accuracy for what Im thinking, I inherited my Mums little miroku . ML 22. Thankfully. Always enjoy it.

I might have to talk to @camo wsm about a custom .

Voere LBW Standard — SR Marston & Co

Maybe?

As you mentioned, S&L Legacy would be something less mainstream. Only ever seen one come up on the yellow site, probably have to import. @Southcity could be of assistance maybe.

Shultz and Larsen are imported by CR Pain into NZ. He has several resellers. I believe Reloaders stock them and also Bill Perry. They are all steel, beautifully machined and supremely accurate.
