Thread: semi auto rimfire for hares and bunnies ?????

I went the other way. Had a 10/22 which had undergone various upgrades over the 20 years I owned it. It cycled everything I put in it, and had ok accuracy until I got one of the Gun City Carbon tension barrels. Then it was horrific. Shotgun style groupings, always jamming, would not eject. After spending time and money trying to fix that, and never really getting a reasonable result, I bought a CZ455.
To my surprise, I no longer needed to lob lots of lead to ensure a kill. Just one well placed bullet that actually hit where it was pointed did the trick. It was quieter than the 10/22 as there was not a large bolt cycling back and forward, so multiple targets were easier to manage as I was not having to shoot moving targets.
Longer range targets were now a viable option too.
As for a spotlight for the CZ - I cut up a Maxtoch, changed the driver so I could use 7V-24V input, and run a 16AH Lipo in my backpack. It's light, bright, and has a QD mount so I can remove the light easily.
