sniperman

out yesterday with me new cz 455 hmr,a bit windy,a bit showery,all head shots,all under 90yds aprox,nearest about 45yards,have the gun 3 weeks now,zeroed at 80yrds,for now,just getting used to it,very accurate:D

Nice one lad, hmr is accurate enough to stick it through the eye alot of the time!! Why have you zeroed at 80 yards tho?? 1" high at 100 yards will give you point and shoot out to 160 so you will still be able for all the headshots at the range you mentioned

hi,thanks,i 80yrds was just a handy starting point to zero,its been so windy lately i wont try the 100 yrd zero til it calms down,1" high at a 100 yrds sounds good,will defo try that soon;)

Nice bag for the day. Love the rifle. Nice compact setup, and especially like the thumbhole stock.

Rabbits seem to be getting scare around my way. Good to see they are plentiful enough elsewhere.

That's right. Forgot all about it.

Was looking at it myself about the same time. They are hard enough get new. Ardee are/were sold out of CZ 455's, so whatever a dealer has is all that is available for the time being.

Nice shootin' lad:D. I have same rifle and LOVE it. Wouldn't change it for the world. I stuck on a SAK mod,Hawke Sidewinder 6-24x56 and a 6"-9" harris swivel bipod and like your own,it's a serious tack-driver:D:D:cool::cool:.
Keep up the good work.
Happy hunting

Good shooting lad
I subbed my browning T bolt 17hmr for same cz as yours, as I found browning trigger very creepy like nowhere else. My gunsmith tried to do something with it but with no positive results (he said sear, safety and trigger was engaged on one spring and was no possibility to make it lower to pull. average pull over 5lb)
Can't wait until my new licence arrive
I found some lads said cz triggers are no perfect but they change trigger springs for lighter and remove creep putting shims.
How is your trigger anyway?

hi mate,love the cz.but trigger is a bit hard to pull,probably meaning that accuracy could be affected,so im in the process of a diy trigger job using an ink pen spring.ill post results soon;)

genuineirl

I bought set of 4 springs and 4 shims from yodave for 20e and gonna do some changes as soon as i collect the gun, found lots of movies on youtube how to do it

Nice shooting there again lad
The rabbits seem to be appearing and disappearing elsewhere
For instance I've land that last year was crawling with rabbits and this year has feck all
And another land I have for years had more pheasants than rabbits but now rabbits are reappearing again its great to see them again
Slowing down to just taking one each time im out
Even buzzards are starting to appear on this land
