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..
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.
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.
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.....
