HV or SV ammo. ???

Also interested in what ammo? That group is pretty good at that range if just standard hunting ammo? I have two CZ .22s but I reckon I could find room in the gun Safe for a Lithgow!

Allan I will be having a bit more of a tinker with the action screws as it is very sensitive in

this department I think it will have to be bedded as it changes poi a fair bit with just a small

tweak .

and the ammo is Winchester subs in 40 grain .

Yeah the Winchester subs shoot the best out both my CZs. I haven't shot a group at 100 or 100plus. But will have to try it. Thanks

whys that ..... considering that the rifle shoots .500moa at 55yards on a regular basis with it's preferred batch of winsubs

and that this group is nearly double that at 0.9549 MOA it doesn't surprise me at all in fact when you factor in environmental's

it is what you would expect .

it probably will , with this rifle I only have to change the action screws by 4 in-lb and it would be 3 x that group size .

do that because when this bloody wind piss's off I'm going back out for some 200 250 and posably some 300 yard

testing if I can work out if I can get enough elevation I may have to put an aiming mark 10 or so feet above the target

for that group all I had to do was put the scope on 8x and use the top of the post on the VH rec and let rip .

with the scope I use I have aiming marks with a 50y zero all the way out to 205 yards , took a bunny on Friday at 181y

Interesting - I've never tried anything but 1.5NM F&B on either of mine as they both show virtually no sign of vertical stringing or "groups within groups". The laminated one is bedded but I'm still deciding which way to go with the walnut version. I'm enjoying these guns so much, I might just go all the way and re-barrel the walnut one too 8-)

Decided to throw the same kit into my little 22 my god what a difference so much lighter and breaks like glass. Reasonably straight forward to do worst part was probably the loc tight in the trigger assembly screw. Get into it guys best $15 you will ever spend.
