1967spud Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 unless it fooked isnt what you are selling ideal for what you want to buy welcome to the forum as well by the way may be you should have a word with yourself and see if you can strike up a deal :blush: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackdaw Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 I am looking for a .308 heavy barrelled stalking suitable rifle with some range use As Spud said. Isn't that what you've got already? Perhaps simply swapping the stock for something more stalking orientated is all you actually need to do.

ashcroft Posted February 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 very good points and i had not even considered changing the stock, this would give me the best of both worlds it is muzzle braked so that should swap for a mod but at 6kg as a base rifle is is heavy thats certainly got the brain working, although by selling this and going for something like a tikka t3 varmint will leave me a bout £4/500 to buy something else as well it's certainly not busted as only 2yrs old with around 400 rounds through it as i have had since new. guess i will be searching the net later for synthetic aftermarkets CZ stocks to see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22/250 foxer Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 you could also save weight if the barrel is long by havign it chopped down abit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 If this is the sniper rifle made by cz...sell it as it is. there is nothing out there to fit it. Dont devalue it by shortening it/messing around with it....its worth little s/h as it is anyway. The gun was grossly overpriced , new, and this is reflected in the s/h price.

The gun was grossly overpriced , new, and this is reflected in the s/h price. thats the one. i would never shorten it but would have looked at a stock as it shoots well. a bit harsh saying it's worth little second hand for what you get out of the box i was very happy. i have benefited from the general price increase in everything as been offered a respectable trade in price as they cost more now trade than i paid 2 years ago. However i do respect your honesty any advice on what to replace it with, i was looking at the tikka varmint, been steered away from a browning x bolt already, what about the remmy 700! or a sako 75 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejg223 Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 I think a varmint barrel is too heavy and a sporter barrle too light for the crossover that you are looking for. Lothar Walther makes a nice inbetween size, the 1450 profile (Heavy magnum sporter). Put one of these at 20 - 22" on a Remmy or Howa action with an aftermarket magazine system, light stock and you'd have a fine long range stalker and a light target rifle. I think that the Germans started a class in that direction, "jagdmatch" I have one of those 1450 barrels on an old sako action in a ultra light carbon stock as my main deer rifle. In the last summer I took part in a few 300yd competitions and had no problems keeping up with TRG's, LSR2's. edi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackdaw Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 there is nothing out there to fit it. There might not be an off the shelf drop in but what about an un-inletted laminate? or see what Steve at Parmoor stocks could lay up as a one off Parmoor stocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
