when you feel like you made a mistake
Doh!
As much as I love my custom cz with a skinny 23' barrel in 223, I feel like I should of done a 20' fatter 20-222 instead!

The good ol unknown Missed, do you reckon the results would be much diff between the sporter and varmint versions?MISSED wrote:Well I have no real definite reason Scott just that same nagging thought of "What If "

Re: when you feel like you made a mistake
Jacko its not a mistake its called a character building experience ,as far as barrel profiles go,more fatterer don't always equal more betterer.

Re: when you feel like you made a mistake
Jacko I swear you change you rifles more than you change ya socks! seems like you get em, play with em for a bit then need the next latest and greatest thing going round.
Just stick to what ya got and learn how to shoot the bastard, they all kill shit son, just depends on the operator as to how well.

Like everyone's saying, just get stuck in with the 223 for now. Then go on the lookout for another lefty CZ action. Put a 20-222, 20-223 or, (God forbid), a 204 barrel on the new action.Jacko9 wrote:Yeah i just wanted an easy one, knowing me in a few months itll have a new barrel
You'll still have the 223 in your hands while the barrel work is being done. AND you end up with 2 rifles instead of just one.
(You've probably already got others, but you know what I mean)

Re: when you feel like you made a mistake
Maybe a switch barrel type setup might be the go Jacko?

Having the experience of making a few mistakes with custom rifles builds. Don't worry there is plenty of opportunity to fix it on the next build, and then the next one......takes along time.Jacko9 wrote:Doh!

Just buy another cz in 204, it will be quicker and cheaper in the long run too.
Re: when you feel like you made a mistake
Sorry for the late reply fellas, haven't had enough service to send in a reply, been flat out on the rice....
Keith, that is what should happen
Really, I just need to find a projectile to suit my needs and I will be fine I think fellas, any input there? It has a 23' barrel, 1-10 rate of twist.... Shoots rabbits, roos, foxes, the odd pig....

I don't think I'd go a 22 cal again, I think I would either get a .20 or a 6mm. I think a cz 527 varmint profile chambered in 20-222 or 20 vartarg would be a pretty sweet little rifle. The 223 is just a bit much to be honest. I don't need a hell of a lot more than a 17 hmr for what I do, I just wanted a cf instead.MISSED wrote:Or for more bang for your Buck a 222 will do everything a 22free will only betterer.kjd wrote:Just shoot it and enjoy it, there's no flies on the 223

That's it mate, I will get there one day I reckon, well aware mate, the 527's are never a heavy rifle even in varmint configuration I reckon...chris.tyne wrote:Jacko its not a mistake its called a character building experience ,as far as barrel profiles go,more fatterer don't always equal more betterer.
Haha mate, I have brought 3 rifles in the last few years, still own 2 of them I just am very much a perfectionist mate, unless I like it, I kind of will never really be happy with it, ask my brothers what I am like with my car, tractor and fishing gearbigfellascott wrote:Jacko I swear you change you rifles more than you change ya socks! seems like you get em, play with em for a bit then need the next latest and greatest thing going round.

Thanks for the advice mate, I guess I just need a bit of pushing in the right direction, Guess that is why I put up the thread223 fanboy wrote:Jacko9 wrote:Doh!

Thought about it previously mate, but I think I would just use one barrel for everything. I only need a handful of rifles for what I do, I have a 22 for rabbits and plinking, then whatever my cz 527 is made to be as my spotlighting rifle, then I have a 358-300 switchbarrel capable of anything from 6.5 upwards to .458 really.bigfellascott wrote:Maybe a switch barrel type setup might be the go Jacko?
