hi guys,

 

Been offered a WMR for the price of a barrel of beer. It's a CZ in .22 WMR.

 

What's the calibre like, and what's the 100yard ability?

 

Basically all I want it for is a bit of clubbing whilst the nights are short.

 

Cheers,

T

I do hope you mean cubbing ? my .22wmr will dispatch them all night long at 100yds as will any .22wmr ....if you can hit them.

Is it a accurate thing at 100yards, I.e. Under a 1in group.

I have shot a cz 22wmr for nearly 20 years,and to be honest wouldnt buy another.The ammunition is getting too pricey now ,and not many shops in this part of the country stock it.But saying that it is quite hard hitting out to 100 yards or maybe a little more,so long as the wind isnt blowing can be reasonably accurate .On a good day mine can hold an inch at 100 yards but any wind and its best to leave it at home.I run the hornady bt's in mine but the 40 grain hp's get the most out of the calibre ,the 30 grain loads really leave a lot to be desired at 100 yards.Also the last batches of hornady vmax i got had the same split neck problems of its 17 hmr cousin.Have shot fox out to around 100 yards and have been happy with the terminal effects though shot placement is critical and with any wind at all this becomes quite difficult to guarantee.Certainly, in my opinion, it kills fox size animals cleaner than the 17 hmr ,and i do have both,but as i,m sure you know there are better tools for the job.

I've got one for cubs and shoot a few hare's at back end of year. Mines a ruger 77 22 use 40 grain Winchester hollow points they stop stuff. shoots well out to 150 yards have some remi ballistic tips but not tried em. Agree about the price of ammo but don't fire that many picked rifle and scope up for £195 bargain !! It's a good little caliber for certain jobs

I have a Sako

the WMR was my go to urban fox rifle for golf and rugby clubs for years

no idea how many I have shot, lots, all within a 120yds I would say

 

accuracy is like any rimfire...ammo dependant

regardless of rising ammo costs it is still well under any centre fire round. I paid £15 a 100 last time for 33gr Reming Accu-tip

it will shoot ragged holes at 100yds, never been too worried by wind as you will be shooting under the 150yd mark

 

will drop a fox to a boiler room shot, might make it a few yards but my longest runner was around 20yds

 

moved to a .222 when all the stupid ones had been shot and i wanted a dual purpose deer and fox round

 

still use it

fun to shoot

I've been using a Wmr for a while now, settled on the hornady 40 grain v max

For a rimmy it's a hard hitting little round, good for foxes out to a hundred with ease.

 

Shoots half inch groups all day at a 100 yds, only round my weihrauch doesn't like is the Remington 30 grain

 

Shoots tight and straight, nice little rifle

I use Remington 33 grain Accutip, and it's superbly accurate, and flattens foxes.
