Which Rifle

KwackerJack

Looking at buying a rifle for targets and a small bit of hunting.

I was looking at this (below) Remington S/A .22.....not sure exactly what model it is!

Have a budget of about €400 for a rifle and ill need a safe to

Are you set on a semi auto .22?

If it were me I'd be looking at a second hand CZ 452/455. They are great rifles for the money.

Doesn't have to be a semi auto or a .22 for that matter.

That CZ is very nice!!

Have you had any rifles before?

Apart From the one the Army gave me no.......

Been meaning to get one since I left but work and family came first. I have access to plenty of land now and the money and time to sort it all out.

If you just want something that is a cheap and fun way to get back into shooting I would look at a CZ 452 .22lr. If you want something more hunting orientated I would look at the same rifle in .17hmr

I think myself the CZ .22 would be perfect for me at the moment. Is there any where is Ireland that stocks them and accessories for them?

I say nearly every RFD has some of them in stock as they are very popular. Here is a list of RFD's in Ireland

As for accessories the CZ needs nothing to make it shoot well but if you want to change things here are a few links:

Yeah as said CZ .22 is an excellent rifle for your money, second hand you will probably get it with a scope and bi pod for 350ish. You'll find a safe for about 150 but your license is another 80 and your safety course is 50 I think, ammo is penny's.
Shop around and be picky as hell don't rush into buying anything.
A lot a lads on here will give sound advice so any question you can think of post.

Does he have to do a safety coarse.

Good question

valerossi

I'd assume he would I doubt our licensing system has the foresight to allow a former soldier to bypass it, I think my father sat it and he searved his entire working life in the military.
Maybe ring his local super and ask, could save 50 euro?

One shot on kill

Well I wouldn't ask.

As far as I know its proof of compitance he needs. Surely military service is enough. And sure if he was an nco or higher he is a firearms instructor. Ans sure if he manage a letter from an officer as a referance surly that's enough.

Was for me and my dad anyway.

The only way you will know if you need to do a safety course is to ask your FO or Super.
