David Hancock Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 Out with the toys this afternoon, sat tucked up in the barn to zero and play as the weather was absolutely foul and the hunt had spent the afternoon ripping across the back field. The Howa and the Anschutz are wearing new Nightforce SHV with MOAR IL reticles. 5-20x56 on the Howa ,223 and 4-14x56 on the Anschutz .22LR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Hancock Posted January 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 Pork Chop. I am slowly building myself a snug little nest. Piggies one side for company and to tease foxy, and my end of the barn with ferals in the roof - a few less today !! - 200 yards and a safe arc of fire with old feed troughs as my shooting bench. No matter how much I love the .223, I still get a thrill from the Weihrauch .177 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snc_2010 Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 Mr Handcock, What do you want that fancy scope for? I thought shooting a .22LR was supposed to be fun ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hancock Posted January 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 SNC - first it gives me accuracy - unlike your spelling of my name !!! - LOL Why ?? 2 - because I can (afford it) 3 - because I enjoy well engineered bombproof kit - have you tried the new Nightforce ??? 4 - because it gives me total confidence in every shot 5 - because I love the reticle and get a perverse satisfaction out of the floating IL centre 6 - because I have a functional job to do for my farmers - for the same reason I have an Anschutz and not another brand 7 - because it is beautifully balanced 8 - therefore equals immense fun seeing the bullet impact the target at 120 yards and the capabilities of the scope at dusk Is it £650 better than the Hawke on the HW100 ?? Aguably not in real life, but I don't give a hoot. I love the set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuckhurstBen Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 I totally agree with David, if you can why not have good glass on your smaller rifles too? I love my 2.5-10x56 S&B on the .22, yeh the scopes worth about 4 times what the rifle is bit it makes it much more enjoyable to shoot . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Hancock Posted January 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Dear SNC. I know you were, that is why I gave you such a nice reasoned professional reply as befits this forum. I do have another opinion of you but I am not going to dignify your last post with a reply. I'll leave your intemperate spiteful comment to the Moderators.

David Hancock Posted May 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 Thank you Gaz. I was stuck between going for a HW66 Jagd-Match which I had in .17HMR, the HW66 Production (What is that you will say ?) and the Anschutz. I did look at the Lithgow and the snake fluted CZ. The new Finnfire is darned expensive compared to the original one I should never have sold. I'm kack handed so took a Dremel to the rollover cheekpiece and chamfered the thumbhole. 15 minutes work, saved £90 and no one would know. It loves Eley Subs - MOA all the shots you want at 75 metres and Ely Tenex - tighter group and louder. Does not like CCis. The A-Tec CMM4 is a nicely finished piece of kit too. The one comment I would have is that the new bolt is a fiddle compared to the old one which was much simpler to remove from / aligned / return into the action.
