David Hancock Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 I picked this little lovely today in .22LR after considering the Weihrauch HW66 Production. Scope is a Hawke Sidewinder 4-16 x 50 with a 10x 1/2 Mil Dot reticle. Sportsmatch mounts and an A-Tec CMM 4 Mod. Ely Subs and Fiocchi are grouping .5 c2c groups at 55 yards It feels so very good using an Anschutz again and popping off 100 rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Dogge Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 Nice, looks very like my 1517 setup, except that now has a stainless barrel, turns out HMRs need more cleaning.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Hancock Posted November 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 Thanks Skull. I tried CCI - accurate but loud, Fiocchi - OK, Eley Subs - quiet and accurate to 75 yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 Thanks Skull. I tried CCI - accurate but loud, Fiocchi - OK, Eley Subs - quiet and accurate to 75 yards. What sort of accuracy do you get at 75yds, have to taken it out to 100? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hancock Posted November 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 Hi Al, I am getting consistent 3 / 5 consecutive shots into 0.6 / 0.7 MOA measured c2c with the Eley subs which is my preferred brand at the mo' for their quietness and consistency. 10 shots will typically fall into an inch. At 100 yards I am getting around 1.5 MOA off the bipod and still getting used to the feel of the rifle. Without getting into "my CZ is better" debate, there is little "real life" difference between any .22LR brands at humane shooting distances. I'm pleased I went with the Anschutz for the build and the very good price I paid for it, though a Weihrauch HW66 for around £595 was a close contender. I did look at the Lithgow and also the HW66 Jagd-Match which I previously had in .17HMR. The stock is RH but 20 minutes with a dermal has subtley reshaped this to fit me as I a leftie. The thumbhole balance is great. I'm pleased with the Hawke and the finish on the A-Tec mod is very good. I know I could have spent less but . . . . The bugger is, I went out last Saturday afternoon on a fox permission with the .223 but also took along the Annie. I actually had more fun sniping the rabbits at 60 - 80 yards until some gentleman walked out from behind a bramble patch behind me with his two dogs where he had no right to be and hundreds of yards from any path. Just goes to show how careful we have to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brickhill Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 Great look looking gun you've bought there David. I took it like man as a lot of my friends are CZ through and through. You can't beat an Annie though. I thought i'd post a pic of my 1417 G XIV .22LR . I'm not so keen on a thumbhole stock but each to their own. I use it mainly for walking the hedgerows and out of the truck rabbiting. Just lately i've been thinning out the squirrels. Eley subsonics are a good round in my gun but do try SK and RWS if you can find them. Have fun with your new gun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
