Tack driving 22lr for hunting

This is starting to sound like Rimfire Central but the Brooks Trigger kit for the CZ makes a load of difference, it certainly is no anschutz or jewell trigger, but makes the trigger tolerable.

Usually at RFC someone is saying the CZ is far superior to the Savage. So it's slightly different there. I thought about buying a CZ when I bought my Savage but I saw groups shot by people with the Savage that didn't look a lot different than the groups I saw shot by CZ's. I figured there couldn't be all that much difference between them and I picked the Savage. One of the main reasons was I wanted a synthetic stock just so I wouldn't have to worry about it being abused in the woods. Nice stocks are well and good for paper punchers and safe queens but out in the woods things have a way of not looking the same on the trip home as they did on the trip out. But the Savage synthetic stock on the FV isn't all it should be. Forget using a sling with it. It will bend the gun and stress it right at the point the barrel is mounted causing consistent shooting to be rare. As long as you don't stress the stock it shoots just fine though.

BTW shouldn't that guy be hunting from the back of that truck with the gun mounted on a roll bar or something? And he might want to upgrade to an 88. :cool: ;)
 
Yes indeed. Skip Epp made that rest and sells them in different widths - that one is a 4" version. They are very definitely not cheap. They are very definitely the best available and worth every penny.

You can reach Skip at via this note that he posted on the Wyoming Schuetzen site. Tell him Brent sent you: http://wyomingschuetzen.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=957
 
SAILINGHUDSON25,
I too like hunting long range with 22 rim fires (benched). My target are small wild doves. Size is about squirrel's head (no, I don't go for head shots!). I use subsonic rounds coz they are a lot more accurate than high vel rounds. Trajectory is like a stretched bow so I used scope with target turret marked with range calibrated to the round I’m using. Wind flags are set up (several) not only for wind adjustment but also to judge distances as accurately as possible (from 90 to 100m, bullet drop is about 2 inches). Helps to have a sketch of the place with land marks indicated with distances from the shooting bench (gps makes it easier). I use a meager 8x scope so I can see where my bullet strike on misses (have a lot of those). Usually I get 3 chances before I scare the game away. I realize does not answer your question but I’d also like to share my almost similar hunting experience with you. And I think, if you want to shoot accurately, you’re asking the right people (forum).
