[QUOTE="ol mike, post: 130093, member: 4683"] Ditto on what varmint hunter said. I have a cz 221 fb ,i've glassbedded it adjusted the trigger down -way-low. There is basically no recoil the gun just does an odd bounce at the shot.It wears a 4.5x14-44 zeiss scope and deserves it! I've killed coyotes ,badgers ,crows ,hundreds of praire dogs ,elk -no sorry got carried away [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]. Anyway they're great -i once shot mine for a few hours in absolutely no wind in new mexico [very odd] and i mean NO WIND.That little rifle smacked pd's out past 400yds ,i could spot my own hits and had a couple of guys laughing they're butts off at the little rifle the could! One thing to watch out for is they're picky and tempermental to load for.Here's how i finally got mine tuned------> loaded 3 rounds starting .6 below max showed no pressure at max.Loaded 6 rounds at max shot .5-.6" twice =done.That was w/40 gr v-max ,decided to try 40gr nos bt's loaded 6 more =same thing .5"ish=done.Won't bore you w/the same redundent story w/52gr a-max. Sorry so long but as you can see i love me a 221 fb!!!Mike Edited to say i use 40gr nos bt w/ 20.7gr- AA 1680 powder ,cci small primer ,average vel.=3546 [/QUOTE]
