93R17 BRJ. A coyote nightmare.
lets see those rimfires
- Thread starter footwart
- Start date
Presently, after-market .17 HMR heavy-fluted barrel in my CZ455. It shoots very well, has enough weight to be steady, and I love the cartridge. Mickey seems to appreciate it too. Trigger pull is crisp...exactly 3 lbs. (It was purchased used, as a sporter-weight .22 WMR, but I prefer the .17 HMR, which seems to kill varmints quicker and has a little flatter trajectory.)
Added: Since the photo, it wears a 3-9X Leupold...as befits the winner it is!

It now sports a Leupold 3-9X. I tuned the trigger to exactly 3 lbs. with no creep or backlash. It's a fun rifle, at the range, in the backyard, and on long walks in the woods/fields.

A couple of Anschutzs I've had for over 20 years and bought mainly for their irresistible wood. On top is Model 1522, .22 Mag. I was lucky to find a set of vintage Buehler scope bases for Anschutz and classy Buehler rings. Scope is 8X Leupold that is about right for prairie dog ranges. Below is Model 1710 for standard LR ammo.

That's an interesting .22 LR, never seen one.

My 2nd firearm, and first "AR" was an AP 74. My example was a stone-reliable feeder and crazy accurate- even with Thunderduds!
It was a true revelation coming after a Charter AR7 floating boat anchor.
Except for the fake magazine/magwell, it was a pretty faithful AR repro, takedown and cleaning largely the same as its full size brother. It wouldn't surprise me if some of the trigger group bits were interchangeable with a Colt. Of course, it was straight blowback, however. The firing pin on mine eventually broke and I made a replacement from an industrial nail which worked perfectly for many thousands more rounds.
They imported small batches from Italy for many years, uprading the sights and furniture every now and then to replicate newer marks of M16/M4.
There were also variants using the same action with wood stocks that resembled an early FAL or Uzi, and bizarrely enough, some were produced in .32ACP.

Mine was 100% reliable...as long as I exerted pressure on the bottom of the magazine. I suspect the notch in the magazine for the mag catch was worn and allowed the mag to drop down far enough to affect the feeding...and magazines are pretty unobtainium (at least for sane prices). I actually sold it last year...but that's the only pic I had of my 416 so I tagged it along also.
SWEET!!some were produced in .32ACP.

I had a pump of about the same vintage as your semi-auto. Nice-shooter!

This Anschutz Model 1717D .17HMR has a 23-1/2" medium heavy barrel and built on their 54 target action. The Classic style stock has no Monte Carlo comb or cheekpiece, but the nicely rounded forearm rests snugly on sandbags. 4-12X, Leupold VX-II in Talley rings.

Stevens Favorite Model 30. Cal 22 Long Rifle only, octagon to round 21" barrel. Gun is just over four pounds, balances at the front of the action, delightful to carry, and handier than a shirt pocket.

Well well, look what has emerged from the darkest corner of one them heavy steel closets. My wonderful, beloved Marlin 882, 22WMR. Man I've had this thing forever and a day, ok, 30 some yrs. Dunno why I bought it, but I seen it one day at one them Gander Mountain stores and somehow talked myself into buying it. Believe me, it wasn't much of an argument at all.
We have a lot of history together, so so many great squirrel hunts back when I could hump over those high ridges in Kalkaska County that held all those lovely mature oaks and beech. I was a squirrel sniper with this incredibly accurate rifle. It's preferred was those maxi mags from CCI, the hollow point ones, but the VMax Hornys I've been feeding it are just as good. I've probably laid down close to 400 bushy tails, mostly Grey's, with her, most of the time from 50 to 125 yards, always a head shot. The Glenfield pretty much got retired when this girl hit the block.
My most memorable hunt with this rifle was around 1998, I was not having a good day, as I had thinned the population down in the one spot I hunted pretty good, but there was this big old male Grey, and I mean a good one, that always seemed to bust me a ridge over and get into the nest before I could get into position for a clean shot. Well, I spotted that chucklehead bouncing around thru the binos, and about crawled 100yds trying to get into a spot to drop on him. I almost got there, and you guessed it.....busted. A happy camper, was not, came out covered in the nasty stink mud only to made a fool of AGAIN!!, well, I figured I'd duck behind a big oak and see if he might get stupid and show himself. I waited him out about and hour, and just as I was going to get up, I heard a branch rustle. I got up along side of that oak, peeked the rifle around it eye to the scope and started scanning a tree about 60 yards out. Sure enough, the breeze blew his tail just enough for me to get a glimpse of it, and lowering the rifle slightly, here was old Grey, peeking around that oak looking for me. Well, crossbars on the nose and fired the main phaser banks, and got that satisfying picture thru that Bushnell that rides on top of that thar rifle. Big smile. And somewhere in my collection, that tail is still floating around. Brought a tear to my eye when I pulled this out today, thinking back on that and all the other hunts I've enjoyed with it. It's taken a few yotes, too. It's a little beat up from its time afield, but to me those marks are memories. It'll never leave my arsenal
