Had to reload my laptop today and in the process started to clean up my photos. Came across a couple I had posted last summer and then misplaced. It is my CZ 453 Varmint in .17HMR. My little laser beam. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Tikka checking out the local squirrel population:


Some carnage at 100 Meters:


Those Co2 cartridges really fly when you hit them. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

It is topped by a Bushnell Elite 4200 3-9x40 in those photos, however I have since mounted a Mueller APV 4.5-14 for a little more magnification. Truth be told though, my old Marlin 17LVS shot tighter groups. That was after I pillar bedded it though. I think I'll try and build up enough courage to do the same to my CZ and expect better from it. After all, it has a better trigger, action and barrel. Only weak point in the whole equation is the clown on the trigger. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Finally went out to the range with some handloads for my .223 last week too! Looking like some serious potential with 52gr HPBT seated over 25 grains of Varget. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

I agree on all counts!

I wouldn't trade it for anything less than an Anchutz..
