Technically these were my last ones of 2017, missed the 2018 thread by about 2 days. But since it is Jim's thread and he jumped the gun too, I figure I might as well post them up. I called 4 on 2 stands, killed 3 of them. Nearly had a triple on the first stand.

Preciate it The irons are actually really nice. And pretty much on far as I can tell. 12oz cans at 100 yards are pretty easy. I might take it calling in the am..

CZ makes good irons.

My Carbine came with them. It's a newer model so it has a FO front blade which is a good thing for old eye balls.

I used QD rings so I can pop the scope off. Not that I ever will but it seemed like the right thing to do. ha

I always liked those CZ carbines. Handy little rigs. Always wanted one. Never did pull the trigger.

Does that front hood interfere with the scope? It does on the lux.... I have to turn it up I at least 4x. So with the interference and just not getting a good cheek weld, I decided to just roll with the irons.

No....not even at 2.5 power, maybe you're using a scope with a larger objective lens/FOV....mine's a 2.5-8X36..

223 that shoots 50gr Fiochie V-Max and 70gr Barnes TSX to the same POI at 100 and weighs a tich over 6# all up and empty.
I didn't want to reload for this one so it took awhile to find what it liked but it was worth the effort. I love it.
I call it my "battle rifle". ha

Funny you call it that. I’ve always said that the 527 carbine would make a great SHTF rig.

I undertand the not reloading thing. The older I get the less time I have for it, I doubt I ever load for this Hornet.

That was my thinking. I'm not a prepper or a tin foil hatter but I like the idea of a light weight CRF carbine in 223.....ammo's everywhere and cheap.....with a nine twist so it will shoot heavier/longer bullets for deer sized game.

I’m not either but I don’t totally shoot the idea down that one could need it one day. I’d rather have the carbine with a setup like yours over an AR....but that’s just me. CZ defintley did that one right.

I shot a few deer with a 9twist 223 using just 55g soft points, made me wonder why I ever needed bigger. I’ve even killed them
With a 221fireball and 50g sierras.


If y’all excuse me. I’m gonna take the 22hornet for a walk. I’m sick but I gotta get outta the house and dealing with the public isn’t an option so to the woods it is.

Nice dog Huntsman22.


I have often thought I should use my AR more for coyotes and such, but thought maybe they were a bit cumbersome for the job.


Do you have a round chambered before you start calling?

With a new trigger, my DPMS sportical might make a good calling rifle.

Jim, An AR makes a fine calling rifle. Not too heavy, fairly compact, handles fast, accurate and gives a guy plenty of follow-ups if multiples drop in. I keep my scope forward and stock collapsed to shoot with my nose to the charging handle, just to keep 'er compact. It was -9 when I made my stands after feeding this morning. They run fine in the cold if they ain't run too wet or greased up.....
