albat wrote:i got a cz 455 with the three barrels great combo gun tried all three barrels .22lr to start great accuracy with cci standard ammo. tried 22wmr accuracy is best with vmax, 17hmr brilliant accuracy with 17grain winchester 2550fps at a bargain 16 bucks for 50! whats even better i picked up 2 of these from the shot show in brisbane last year for 558 bucks each!! apparently some mistake in pricing from beretta via qld gun exchange! anyway even if you pay more its a good value combo.

I reckon the Hornet is too loud for a new chum.
IMHO / experience, the .22 Mag is the 'biggest' round, one can use without hearing protection.
.... another reason the .22 mag is an ideal choice for the Newbie.

first firearm I used was a 303 and no hearing protection, it didn't worry me at all and I was only around 8yrs old at the time

GREAT round for a newbie and dynamite on foxes and bunnies.
happyhunter wrote:22 Hornet is excellent, 22 K Hornet even better but the ammo is expensive so unless the new shooter wants to get straight into handloading I'm not sure the 22 hornet would be the best choice.

I like the idea of having a .22 for the cost per round factor but is there a big difference between that and the next level rifles?
