CZ Mach2

[Neil the Plumber]

Went out with this rifle last night with the old NV on it ( see write up in NV section) What a great tool. This has to be the ultimate bunny round ( as previously stated by Baz ) Hits every thing you point it at with very little work on my part. Very forgiving on judging distance ie very flat. And from the out side of the rabbit, not much meat damage unlike the Hmr. The sonic crack is there, but after a few shots you get used to it and up to 11.00 on the night, road noise and the TV will occupy most people. The tigger polish and spring change has made all the difference. Still very tempted to chop the barrel and see what she can do. All in all very pleased.

Glad to see someone else likes the Mach2. As for why you would want one if you have a 22lr--it's just much better. Noisier -yes, but with a SAK silencer on it's no noisier than a 22lr using subs with no silencer. Zeroed at 75 yds it's pretty much 'straight at 'em' up to 120 yds. Kranks do ammo (Eley blue tips) at £45 for 500.
I have an HMR and a 22LR. As a night time bunny popper the HM2 reigns supreme, laser accurate and less chance of Rick O'shays. Headshots all the way, now if we could just persuade someone to allow them in semi auto in the UK !!!!!

After fitting the trigger kit, i finally got round to having a play with my new 17Mach2 CZ American on New years day. Seemed to be shooting ok at first but then groups started to open up(possibly fouling in the barrel, also need to float the barrel fully). On returning home i emptied the spent cases from my coat pocket to find a number of them had split on firing, looking on RFC showed this was a problem with some Hornady ammo(which i was using) and on checking the remaining 3 and a half boxes found nearly fifty cases with split necks.

I am hoping this was the reason for the iffy grouping and at least now i can elliminate this factor.

Couldn't take to the HM2, sold mine after a month and several disappointing outings. Accuracy was brilliant is still conditions, but I found It was far too affected by even the slightest breeze for headshots at 125 yards.
The bullets from the mach 2 and the HMR will still richochet at ranges of 200yards, as there is not enough energy left to distroy the little pill.

Got the log burner on in the shed, stripped the rifle down in the kitchen,whilst it warms up. I will be chopping 4 inch off the origional 21 barrel tonight, and rethreading and recrowning. Will post some pictures of the origional crown, some of the ongoing works and then finished item.
Will dig out existing velocity and accuracy figures, and will then retest the new barrel length to see what difference it has made.
Fingers crossed.

Looking forward to the results from the barrel chop. Going to have mine cut down and was thinking about 15 inch(should've burnt up all the powder in the case by then).
