  1. Honestly if the CZ wasn't so pretty I would probably have dumped it a long time ago.  It also had problems with misfeeds and failures to fire due to light primer strikes right out of the box.  I seem to have gotten those bugs worked out of it thankfully...  The misfeeds went away when I bought 2 new magazines (one that shipped with the gun is defective), and I had to make a spacer for the striker spring to boost the preload on it.

    I will post up some more groups once I get some quality brass case x39. I will need to sight in again with the Hornady SSTs prior to Nov. 17th. Won’t be Lapua, but it should produce better results than what I have already tested.

    The Federal JSP in the blue box is a little better out of my CZ than even the Lapua, but I didn't find any of the other Federal ammo to be worth a shit.  The Lapua runs around 1.25moa, and the blue box will do just a hair better than that.  Winchester JSP from the silver box is the 3rd best and usually does about 1.5moa, while Hornady Zombie Max is a very consistent 2moa.  IIRC the Czech made S&B was 5th best at around 2.2, and everything else turns into a shit show from there on out for me.

    Just to be clear, I shot several groups with the rifle. Not every group was like the ones above. Those were the best for each respective ammo.

    Worst group with Tulammo was 2.25 to 2.5”, Golden Tiger faired better with the worst group at ~1.8”.

    Funny thing was that the rifle actually shot better once it heated up. The only thing I can think of is the first few groups were shot while the barrel was rapidly warming up with the can on, so each shot was shot at a different temperature. 

    Looking forward to seeing what it will do with some higher quality ammunition. But regardless if it inproves much or not, I am happy with it.

     

    Your worst groups are better than my CZ's best groups with the same ammo.  I'd be really interested to see what your rifle would do with some Lapua.

  4. I was sound asleep (maybe I could get a job at the FBI; they were asleep on 9/11 too).  Wife had gotten job in new city and went on ahead of me, I was still in my hometown packing to move.  Got woken up by phone call from her telling me to turn on the TV.  TV was packed...  Got on the computer, news sites were all slammed and dialup ISP was going slow as fuck (small town, rural Alaska prior to them getting cable modems) so I couldn't see anything.  Finally found a site that would load.  Not very interesting all in all.

    My brother's story was slightly more interesting than that.  He was at NASA Langley doing engineering at the time and when they went to Threatcon Charlie, he decided to un-ass the base before they went to Delta and all of the traffic on and off was stopped.  Another relative worked for one of Alaska's senators, and saw the smoke pouring out of the Pentagon on his way in to work.  He pulled over and called the office, asked if there was any point to coming in?  Nope, boss is "elsewhere" right now, go home.

    I'm here... Kind'a, maybe, sometimes.

    Damn I miss the days of high activity in here.  I'm amazed Mackc keeps the lights on.

     

    Assuming each of the ad buttons on the right of the screen still represents a paying advertiser, plus all of y'all that keep sending him money, I'm sure he's still turning a profit, and now with less admin headaches due to less users/traffic.

    Of course, that assumes all of those ad buttons actually represents a still paying forum sponsor and that he didn't just leave them up to present the illusion of an active forum with satisfied customers (sponsors) to any other potential sponsors.  I once bought a business membership at another forum, that had seen a downturn kind of like this one has.  I figured there were still enough core members left to make it worthwhile, but it netted me exactly zero sales.  And the owner left my ad up and didn't downgrade me once the time I had paid for was up... I had to tell him to remove the ad and return my status to that of a normal member.
