Anyone here shooting anything something other than .22LR?
Although I have three operable .22LR RF's (and two that are
not), there is also a Marlin 17vs and a CZ455 in .22mag.
I have never shot for competition. These rifles get used for a
little fun plinkin' and to draw blood. IIRC, I got the 17vs in the
late 90's and sighted in at 75yds. It got two three shot groups
1/4" and 3/8" and has since been responsible for literally
hundreds of starlings and English sparrows, along with a few
marauding raccoons.
The CZ is one picky little rifle in that it shoots shotgun
patterns with anything but the 30gr Hornadys and the
50gr Federals. It's just plain weird that it is accurate with
both of these! It has taken mainly coons.
Correction: I got the Marlin in 2003. The 17hmr wasn't even
invented until 2002. Sorry for the misinformation.
