What rifle are you shooting this weekend?

[Stix]

The weather doesn’t look real flash, I might get to test some loads from my 22 hornet and 222.

Took the Cz American 22lr after a lowey trigger kit install, great trigger now . Found a real good load for my old Krico 22 hornet. Happy days

Nice to know my Hornet shoots...

Nicer to have the load data for it...

Be Nicest to have my rifle though...

So when are you sending it down.

.....& i cant believe she behaves for you mate...after the way youve treated her im surprised she's not spraying minute of shed for you...!!

good on ya stix . She missed me I suppose. The 22 hornet is a fun caliber to play with once you reload it’s bloody cheap. Using the same powder as my 357 marlin which makes it good too. I’ll still be keeping a eye out for a hornet crazed stalker in a car with south oz license plates I am thinking about offloading a ruger red label shotgun in as new condition if ya want a real classy shotgun

Sorry mate...no can do...

Ive done the very undiciplined thing & impulse purchased 3 rifles in the last month...not good as i really cant afford it. ..so ive stopped looking at used guns again...!!
Hence the hints at the donation of the Hornet to me you said you would sell to me but went behind my back & sold to someone else...

Thats adultery in the gun world...i hope you been hailing many mary's & flicking them rosary beads...!!

Forgive me father for i have sinned...i treated my petite little hornet like an object, threw her out of my home for a better looker & also adulterated poor Stixy in the process...

(Just muckin around Richo... )

[Sergeant Hartman]

Lol I know what you saying stix. After i got my scope, I deleted used guns, so a sales and ozguns tabs vfc from my phone. Can't see all the s**t that's coming now.

My mate keep of trying me to order the ruger precision in 338....at which I just laugh at him. I need time for range and money for powder... not spend money on more guns

[bigrich]

all good stix , you really are a card. i got a old "leige" belgian made side by side comin', i bought the ruger as it's a qaulity U/O , but after trying clays i'm a bit "meh" about clay shooting. a SXS will be more useful for the ocasional rabbit roundup i reckon. i haven't owned a SXS yet , so even for the experience it'll be worth a go . but that's it . no more guns for a while , i bin spending a bit lately , bought a second hand VX-R leupold red dot "pig plex" scope for my marlin 357 . great scope , i don't use the red dot at the range ( that's for low light circumstance in the feild ) , the finer recticles help with accuracy but. what did you recently impulse buy stix ?

[duncan61]

Me too.The 6-24 x 50 Bushnell was a bit big for my .222 and as I have just cleaned up my .243 Howa I think it is a better fit on there.Plus I am missing a cap so the old nighteater is going to live in the spares box for a while

Im too embarrassed to say rich...





(But quietly...
A CZ 22lr--already got one in the safe (admittadely its not mine but i use it)...so dont bloody need one...!!...& still havnt bedded my brno ffs yet i buy another... ...just silly really...woulda been better off buying something cheaper & that i dont already have..ah well...it was a decent buy so id make my money back if i needed to get rid of it...(thats the only justification i got for the purchase.. )

Also got the 310 cadet...cant afford the dies & consumables for it though--its a rite PITA to have a rifle sit there & not be able to load & shoot it..especially with fox season here-.!!!-id like to knock one over with it, cos...well just cos...ah well, maybe next year...
And i just got offered a heap of lead for salvage yard buy prices too but cant afford that either...

Cant afford the gear for it because i also spent coin on a S/H Leupold VX3 LR scope..with my favourite reticle--the Varmint Reticle...
So .then naturally i bought some Sign ZEE rings to try with it that i cant afford either...

So thats me done for the next bugger knows how long to pay it off...!!

Shooting Weihrauch 22.hornet this weekend (thanks this forum for helping me to make right choice). Absolutely love it - efficient and not loud. Filling my freezer with wallaby meat for the week. Imo, very undervalued meat!

Check my 22 hornet groups on the previous page islander. My old Krico is the grandfather to your weihrauch , they are just about identical. Great accuracy is attainable with the hornet, reloading can make them a far more efficient firearm as shot placement can make all the difference

[bigrich]

Sounds like you got a case of buyagunitis stix. I can sympathise with ya , I’ve had it bad myself, but I’ve been on the wagon for two whole weeks now. Hello, my name is big rich, and I’m a gunaholic.....lol

Legs and tenderloin for us, and the rest goes for pets. I also make mince and then burgers, meat balls, dumplings, and even sausages (need to add pork/lamb fat). Absolutely love it, since I got it (this is my first one) we completely stopped buying meat.

Great results mate!!

I am still having issues with mine though, that occasionally 1 in 10 empty shell gets stuck in the barrell... Not sure if it's acceptable and will go away after few hundred rounds, or should I be concerned and take it back to the supplier (in another state), I really love it otherwise and really hesitate to part with it...

[duncan61]

I had a new H&R single shot Hornet that cases got stuck in regularly.I started to carry a cleaning rod to pop them out with.When I started polishing and reloading I never had a problem again.You are using factory ammo if so avoid American brands as they tend to load heavier than European stuff.It might be something unique to hornet as the cases are so slender.Another solution might be to K ream it and the shoulders will be Raised and you can get a few more grains of powder in it

I know from the weihrauch rimfires I had , they have tight chambers ,clean the chamber regularly, it will probably sort itself out with more shots through it. I had issues with dirty factory brass in mine. What ammo brand are you using , what sort of accuracy are you getting ?

[Daddybang]

Got to put a couple more thru the shottie and then spent a heap of time trying to get my brand new six dollar air rifle scope zeroed. ..no problems with the scope itself(remains to be seen how long it'll last ) but the rings seem to be cut out of empty soft drink cans so couldn't stop it sliding around.

Arildyte then in place mate, that what we did in the old days and mine haven't bugged in 35yrs

I actually looked at the arildyte but this is just an experiment to see if I wanted to put a "good" scope on it so I passed

Good info thanks

Nice, what action are you using?

[Bill]

CZ550 Safari Magnum, original CZ custom shop, trued bolt face, lapped lugs, slicked action rails, as good as it gets lol

[SCJ429]

They are a very nice thing, I shot a friends 550 chambered in 450 Rigby. As close to a real Rigby rifle as I am going to get. The A Square must get your attention when you touch one off.

[Bill]

now darn ya just had to go and mention Rigby !!!!! 450 Rigby would be a sweet shooter.

Id been looking for a 458 WM for a while when this popped up. Big fan of Col Alphin and his case designs but never imagine a cheap 500 would pop up.

No idea how it shoots yet as its only a recent investment. It came with some plinking loads lol and I bought some more Bertram 500 weatherby brass last week along with some 570 & 440gr projectiles to play with. Looking forward to cracking that magic 8000ft lbs

Love it, I hope your retinas are firmly attached.

[Bill]

haha the the retina's will be fine, fired a lightish ZKK 602 470 Capstick years ago without issue, anyway this thing has a optional muzzle break and a mercury reducer.

I reckon 440gr at 2850fps will be the killa load....

just a shame I cant shoot this thing at any range in Sydney
