[QUOTE="threejones, post: 462354, member: 27464"] I use a CZ 452 22lr military trainer to take practice shots while barrels cool down, and to help fend off the magnum flinch, etc. I've been pretty impressed with what this thing will do at 100 & 150yds with just a cheap Nikon pro staff 3-9x BDC reticle on it. I was told that I should have bought the 452 Lux instead for these distances (the Lux has a 28in barrel while my Military trainer has a 24in, both are 1:16 twist. According to the CZ website) I'm usually holding 1 1/2in groups @ 100yds, or a little better if I bring my A game. I've been told by a couple guys that the Lux will bring em in a bit tighter, but I just don't believe it. If the powder is burned up at around 12in down the tube, is the extra length really going to help that much, with both being a 1:16 twist? I've heard that these guns are a bit picky ammo wise, I've been using the CCI Velosator and the CCI minimag HP (these are grouping best out of the few I've tried). Would "Wolf Target" or some other expensive "match grade" ammo be that much better, or should I just be happy to get what I'm getting for a $250.00 rifle? Any imput from anyone who has put a few rounds down either of these guns would be great. I realize that LRH may not be the best place for a 22lr thread, but it seems to me that we're the ones who are always shooting everything, and always at the range, and thus, I'm counting on you guys to know.
