    After thinking about it i might have better luck with responses in this section,

    I have decided that as xmas comes around im going to go for a .223 or something along that line, ammo price is the main influence in this, i was thinking cz 527 or remmy 700.

    would you be able to give me some advice and pointers as to what to go for and look for as i understand its quite different to buying used rimfire?

    Gun would have to be light, as it would be used for large vermin.
    eg: Fox

    I would be going for lightly used s/h.


    Any input much appreciated.
    Best,

    Noods

    I'd never buy a second hand rifle......unless i knew the gun...never know how many rounds been through it otherwise.
