    I'm seriously looking at getting a semi automatic in 22wmr (Winchester magnum rimfire)

    Anyone know of a good make or model of 22wmr. There prob isn't too many out there but I like any direction or opinion for those in the know.

    I once see a nice takedown Bruno 22wmr advertised here, pity I didn't buy it at the time..

    Thanks for the advise or help.

    Ruger does or did 10/22 magnum version. Pretty expensive to feed mind.

    I had a Remington 597 laminate heavy barrel in 22 WMR, a fantastic gun. I see a second hand one in outdoor sports Mullingar

    Anyone ever know what happened to the zkm 611 that was sold on boards a year ago.
    Maybe someone wants rid..

    Your looking for a Brno 611/ 611a

    2 different animals and 2 different users.
    A 611 is gun manufactured to tolerance a 611A is manufactured to price, and to a different standard.rather than typing bolderdash,
    See here comparison;
    http://www.saubier.com/forum/showthread.php?t=19061

    I fliped a HMR for one, I now own a 21 year old 611 and I'll be burried with it. I had a horrid time getting it threaded to look authenthic for iron sights, but that passed, and we removed the front sight 19 1/2" barrell, solid as twepence with the Sak2 from Paddy Carley on it.
    BTW; all manufacturers apart from Brno were requested to discontine 17 SA, I was thinking of getting mine re barrelled - except the orignal barrel could not be removed - torqued in to over 180" lbs pounds with locking agent.

    I now have it as my every day walker, will put 6 hornadys in an inch, inch & half, but will also mulla 6 win 40 in 3/4" at same range.
    Rabbits to 230 / 240 if your comitted and dial in correctly. Zero a 100 and blast monkey which I did when I first got it and often still do best €30 or €45

    I was buying .222 rounds off Paddy Carley, as as it, bing I'm having you evewn if it costs a rifle licence. it wasn't like I wanted it - end of I WAS GOING TO HAVE.We settled on and argreable price I paid, I smiled.
    Be Weary, there are next to no spare parts available, I was lucky enough to know a fella that worked on them back in the time and geat a full service kit for it.

    Rifile, spare magazines, Picatinny scope rail. bipod stud, bipod rail, Sak2 moderator,l thinking I'm selling mine in Ireland?

    Magazines are mad money.......................................

    thats for the CZ 17hmr/22wmr mass produced one
    this is for orig, that will suit a ZKM 617 also
    http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=467506634

    Good luck with your search, I know a few with 611's and car / jeep / van will go before the rifle.

    I would never consider a rem 597 over a 611, simply because of the trigger the rem has a 3lb sow of a trigger the brno a 1.5lb moist queen in comparision.

    I'll lap you a comp photo @ the week when I back home. I don't know about others, but I'd not part with mine. I said coffin gun when I did the business, hopefullly I have 10 or 15 years.

    Choice - Wise
    Method - unWise.

    There was feck all of the 611's imported into ireland.

    Only advice is see, inspect and use.

    UK dealers, more but abused. I once saw a old moldel for £150 and sent it to see off Dover rather that be riddled to smoth bore

    So as not to build your hopes up,

    In a word "Nyea" or Never, a Rem 597 will be perfect for a you yq laughing baboon as yourself

    but if a Tom Knapp edition comes along I'll offload happily my plain 611 to you! for circa €1,000, thats mags and stuff, we have parties basesd on calabire

    About Me; I buy guns I d'ont trade or rent them, Home for life (& after) in some cases !same for dogs (I never met a dumb dog but I often met many stupid owners, too dumb to train) :)

    Best of luck with quest, if find an Lol :D 611 that need spares to make it right (apart from the astrix's)
    I was looking for 8 years for my little cared for and minded 611Attachment not found.

    I'll upload some 611 porn tomorrow. :D bring it for a walk, light as a feather and more pointable than a pistol.

    ( most greedy 611 owners realised their parts where more than than gun complete so part sold them :rolleyes: unlucky, few committed owners stayed the course :mad:)

    because Tom Knapp used one to shot asprins - http://centerofthewest.org/2014/02/07/tom_knapp/
    if that's your thing :P

    ROFL :eek:
