Interesting. I know they're renowned for reliability, not so much the accuracy out of the box ; though I know someone that had the heavy barrelled target model, and that did shoot well.
Nice. I'd be curious to see a five shot group, however, the first shot is what counts each time.
I’ve got the specific Hawke scope that has the right drops on the reticle for .22 - that helps a lot. I haven’t used it on a range for a while but was getting consistent head shots on rabbits / birds out to 80m plus. I think I would limit it to 100m for any live quarry, but for that sort of use it’s well up to requirement. CCI Mini Mags run well in it but make a lot of noise. CCI subs also seem to run well. Eley are so / so and Winchester just will not group at all. Its seemingly all in the ammo with 10/22’s because I haven’t done much else with it from out of the box.
I have one! It's an HK300 22WMR. it shoots sub 3/4" groups at 100 yards with a Schmidt 4x36 scope fitted. It's my main foxing rifle.
I bought my BRNO .22 rimfire in 1965 and if I remember correctly paid the princely sum of £32 for it.After many years of use I sold it to a family member sometime in the 80’s and bought it back about 5 years ago since when it has had little use.Originally it was fitted with 4x32 Nikko Sterling(very little choice then).I recently decided to give it an upgrade in the scope department and bought a Niko Monarch from a gentleman off this site.Today I zeroed it with some American Eagle high velocity ammo(came with it on buy back and I think made by Federal so not premium ammo by any stretch of the imagination)The picture appended below is a ten round group at 60 yards.Pretty happy with that from a 66 year old rifle!
Very impressive. I'd consider scrubbing the barrel, and especially the chamber area with carbon remover, if you haven't already.
Very nice.
Had one identical but full length barrel for years. 6×40 scope,12 bore case end on at 100 yards most times.
Years since I've seen that many rabbits.
as in it needs a part and your gunsmith cannot be bothered or they cannot tell the owner the fee he will need ?
