Guys, after many emails to CZ , I have been given a couple of
choices and would like some of your honest opinions as I have
been out of the game for too long.
Rifle will be used for rabbits, fox at close range and corvids.
Things have change over the years and my night shooting would
have been with a lamp on LR or on scope, just using normal
daylight scope. I see now, you have many night scopes around,
but at a cost. Is the old way still used? And if so do I need to
upgrade the scope that is on offer.
Many questions I know, but I like to spend the money on the
right set-up. I have no problem in paying for the right tools
for the job. But just need some guidance from the more
experienced guys on here.

Scopes sound workable, personally for hmrs I prefer 16 power but
that's just me. Most people still use lamps, night vision has
big limitations IMO as well as advantages. I always said hmr was
for fox and had no problem, I've yet to hear the psni refuse
anyone for it (times may have changed tho). But look at it this
way, if they won't grant it for fox means they'll have to give
you a centrefire lol

Thanks for your input guys. I will look at an up grade on scope.
I also see that you can get some great wee cgee torches that
clip on to the scopes. Anyone recommendation guys. I'm fecking
still in india doing feck all as delays on site and I really
could be back home getting some money spent and steel cabinet
fabricated. And pissed off with curry for every meal >:(
Really could do with an Ulster fry too ;)

I was advised by Beatties for a .17 to put for rabbits and foxes
up to medium range of 200 yards for humane purposes.
Got my licence in under two weeks. It also allows you to put in
for a .223 (let's face it you will want one soon enough) stating
you need it for 200 yards plus.

No I completely agree, I wasn't happy with the result on a bunny
at 150. However that was the description given to me for use on
the variation and it worked.

Depends what guns you have, when I had a 22lr and 17hmr the 22
was mosty for rabbits and the 17 was mostly for fox, important
word being mostly. Now I've a 17hmr and a .222 the 17 is mostly
for rabbits and the .222 is mostly for fox.
I've shot stuff over 200 yards with the hmr but its not ideal,
wind knocks it about a good bit and at that range you really
need to be precise in your shot placement. Personally I wouldn't
mention specific ranges, sometimes giving more info than you
need to is just giving them the rope to hang you with in
future... :-\
