  1. Seems like the Meopta has it for me. Thanks for all the help and suggestions. I’ve now got a new decision to make though. I got a chance to shoot a Savage Axis at the weekend and I’m pretty sold on it. The trigger was far and away the best I’ve ever shot. If I can get a stainless , heavy barrel version to go in the grs stock I’ll be like a pig in clover 👍
  2. Thanks for all the replies so far. Plenty of food for thought. Andy at Ludicrous Lumens recommends the Meopta Meopro Optika 6. Has anybody got any experience of them?
  3. Howa 1500 hopefully. I’ve always used 2nd but not averse to 1st. Sub £1000. My thoughts so far are Howa 1500 in a GRS Bifrost. I seem to have a frame that rifle makers don’t allow for so need an adjustable stock. To be honest though I’m not stuck on the Howa either. So, rifle suggestions too? Rifle and stock budget around £1500. I’ve got a Spartan Valhalla bipod already that I like and will probably go for a Hausken mod. Total build around £2500 🤞
  4. Evening everyone. Im hoping to set up a .223 some time next year for a mix of plinking at Bisley and night time foxing and rabbits. Any suggestions as to a scope that would do the business for both target work and be compatible with a mk3 ludicrous lumens rear add on? Any advice welcome (other than get two separate scopes) Cheers Terry
  5. Just a brief update. Finally got a chance to go to Bisley after joining the OSMSC. Did a couple of hours with the club .223 (Howa 1500). Thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon and can’t speak highly enough of the friendly and banter filled atmosphere from everyone there. As a little illustration of how welcoming the club is, one of the members brought his 14 year old daughter along to shoot. We’re on the same Probabtion 1 course in a couple of weeks. Despite having no other club to compare the OSMSC to, I can’t imagine a more friendly bunch. Very much looking forward to going again soon.
  6. MDT Oryx as it looks at the mo. I found the LOP far too short and had to add an extra 40mm to it. The cheek piece is adjustable but you’d have to be a giraffe to need to adjust it higher than its lowest point. If I had my time again I’d look into the Dolphin folder I think but the oryx is £200 cheaper. It’s a functional stock and I did find that my groups tightened right up with it fitted but that Dolphin is very tempting 😀
  7. Is it this one? Do you know of it fits the 17hmr version of the cz457 at all? Not that I’m interested (he says with the wife looking over his shoulder 😏)
  8. Mines a 17hmr. With the synthetic/ factory stock my hand felt all scrunched up around the grip and I was struggling to get a comfortable head position for decent eye relief on the scope (Hawke Frontier). I tried loads of neoprene comb and LOP risers but the gun ended up looking like a foam box with a barrel attached. That’s when I bit the bullet (as it were) and got the adjustable stock. After messing around with the comb height and adding / removing various LOP spacers it now feels perfectly natural to shoulder and shoot off a bipod. My groups also tightened right up and my hand naturally falls into a good shooting position around the grip. It has completely transformed the gun and I’ve now gotten over the fact that the aftermarket stock cost as much as the original rifle, I just haven’t told the wife!! Its changed again since that photo was taken. A mate of mine made an aluminium vertically adjustable butt pad with a removable bag rider. He didn’t get on with it so I’ve now got that on the CZ too. I’ll take a pic next time I’m out with it
  9. Thank you. The LOP was a fair bit short for me to be honest. Had to put a few packers in but once set up it made it a lovely comfortable gun to shoot. Originally it had the synthetic stock on but I couldn’t get on with that at all. To short , awkward grip and made me feel as though I was shooting a cadet rifle, all hunched up and uncomfortable. Hope your new stock comes through soon 👍
  10. Not sure if it fits the bill for you but I put my 457 in an MDT Oryx stock. Was around the £3-400 mark I think
  11. Well that’s promising. Hopefully I’ll see you there at some point
  12. It’s my first post so be gentle 🙂 I’ve been looking for a club to join myself and on the back of this thread I emailed OSMSC yesterday. I got a reply this morning and after emailing over the relevant paperwork this afternoon I’m just waiting for Surrey Firearms Licensing to do their part then it’s off to Bisley for me as a Probationary Member. From the very , very little that I’ve had to do with OSMSC so far they seem friendly, welcoming and keen on new members. Not something that can always be said for shooting clubs. Here’s hoping it’s the start of something good 👍
