Fella's;
FACT: Having a major kidney stone lodged in there is also more painful than giving birth. Four I.V. ampules of morphine in four hours says so. The only thing the dope did was prevent me from having to scream, didn't seem to really lessen the pain all that much. I have watched several human live births & can't say it looks to be "fun", but as the above alludes, it must be satisfying in some way. Can't figure out how that is, but the facts speak for themselves. 900F ------------- Birth certificate!? He don't need no steenkink birth certificate!! |

I have had several Kidney stones, three had to be taken out with surgery. I have deveoped a great imitation of the Tarzan Yell because of them buggers. Had one hit right in the middle of an Elk hunt. Made it to the nearest Hospital, DR. gave me some pain pills and I promised I wouldnt touch a gun as long as I had Taken a Pill. Pain went away after the first day and I passed the stone on the second day, Had a good hunt. ------------- Molon Labe "Come take Them" |

I use air rifle, for squirrels, cheaper, quieter, than 22rf, probably not approved in all areas, but if gophers are taking to the trees, all bets are off. We're starting to get few grey squirrels around here, must've came in with the tourists or something. Pine squirrels and gophers aren't worth eating, but grey's are different story. The people feeding them, at their bird feeders, approve even less, than when you pop the pigeons and Obama birds. ------------- Want to stop Drunk Drivers, from Killing Sober Drivers?

Ditto the air rifle for all those reasons. Deadly accurate at fairly close range and surprisingly lethal. Took out a problem wood chuck at about 25 yards with mine (RWS 22 @ 980 FPS), and that's a pretty fair size critter. ------------- The reason for the 2nd Amendment is so that we can keep all the others. |

JSG & Cascade;
For gophers you'll want a .22lr rimfire. Light enough to walk with and accurate to 100 yards & beyond if at all possible. A 10/22 usually takes some work to be able to achieve that. Sometimes the cost of the work easily exceeds the cost of the base gun. Frequently, when all the work is done, you can then reassemble the base gun & it works just fine. It just won't be as accurate as the "worked on" 10/22 that you've now got about a grand into. Another choice is the S&W A/R clone. I've noticed that the people who use it are always smiling, except when they're writing the check for more ammo. The gun doesn't cost a grand, but the weekend ammo bill can! The CZ 452's are well represented at these events, particularly the left handed versions it seems. Once you find the ammo they like, the gophers are gonna die. Haven't seen too many Savages at the events over the years & there might be a reason for that. With the cost of ammo these days, you need that positive reinforcement ya know. Also, good glass on the gun is a good idea. Eyestrain should be saved for bleary leering and ogling of the fair sex over drinks and dinner, not produced by a day's torture looking through a BSA scope. 900F ------------- Birth certificate!?

For a while there, 223 was easier to find and almost cheaper than 22LR. Seems to be better now. ------------- The reason for the 2nd Amendment is so that we can keep all the others. |

Bust on them all you like. Other then the trigger, I have no hate for that little savage. Shoots better then most factory rifles and half the price. Boy used it effectively at extreme ranges, 600-800 yd. gongs. I still have a sweet spot on the old win 52's, but they aren't designed for walking with.

Fella's;
Many ranchers don't want a centerfire used & will specifically ask what you plan to shoot the gophers with. Some of 'em aren't any too happy about having a .17HMR too close to their house either. It's a noise issue as well as the lethal range of most centerfires. D4570 did use a .17HMR Savage one year I think, but then it got stolen out of one of the family's vehicles. I seem to recall that the thief got caught & was put in the state insane asylum, but haven't seen D show up with another Savage or a .17. I understand that his coyote huntin' partner uses a .17 Hornet I think & is pretty deadly with it too. But you just can't beat the cost/performance ratio of the .22lr when all is said & done. Just t'other day I picked up another thousand .22lr rounds for $100.00, or ten cents a shot. What's a thousand rounds of .17HMR gonna run? Over twice that I think. 900F ------------- Birth certificate!? He don't need no steenkink birth certificate!! |

Been thinking about picking up a good bolt 22 WMR rifle. I know there are strong opinions about the 22WMR vs 17HMR rounds, but I already have/shoot some WMR handgun, so thought I might stay with that in a rifle. Anybody been using that on gopher critters? ------------- The reason for the 2nd Amendment is so that we can keep all the others. |

Cascade;
Since you're asking for opinions, I'll put mine forth. There is no specifically manufactured "target" ammo for either the .22 magnum or .17HMR. All anecdotal reports I've come across seem to indicate that the .17HMR is running a good distance ahead of the .22 magnum for accuracy - as long as the wind isn't blowing. Those little lightweight bullets do get shoved around by Mr. Breeze. I'm very happy, and generally considered to be fairly effective, with my .22 long rifle gun. That's a CZ452 American with good glass and the ammo testing done to determine what the gun likes to shoot. In my case that's Winchester's 40 grain HP at an advertised 1280 fps. The catalog designation is: X22LRPP. They are commonly called PowerPoints. Over my Oehler chrono they very consistently run 1250 fps out of my gun. Gopher kills at 100 yards are no problem. You may wish to look at getting either a CZ452 or a 455 bolt gun. The 452's are almost all gone, right hand gun production ceased a few years ago. All left handed rimfire production remains the 452. The 452 has a screwed in barrel to the receiver. The 455 is a slip-fit switch barrel configuration. The 455 action is common, so you can buy extra barrels & have .22lr, .22 magnum, and .17HMR all in one gun. 900F ------------- Birth certificate!? He don't need no steenkink birth certificate!! |

Appreciate the comments on the WMR vs HMR. The CZ is an interesting candidate. The ability to use it for 22LR, WMR, and 17HMR is pretty cool. Thx. ------------- The reason for the 2nd Amendment is so that we can keep all the others. |

I'm happy with my CZ 452. But CB if you could pick one
model either 452 or 455 in a lefty, which one would you pick? For gopher not sure if my 10-22 or CZ will go! Both would be good gopher medicine. |

BEAR;
That's not a fair question when somebody else's choice is involved. There are several reasons why it's not fair, and not the least is that I, of course, have no personal experience with a 455. All reports on RFC seem to indicate that accuracy between the two series still depends on the individual gun rather than which series the gun is in. There may be a very slight edge in the 452's favor, but if so, it's a minimal one. A purely personal factor with me is that I'd rather have a dedicated gun to the purpose than go through the hassle of a re-zero sight in every time I switched a barrel out. I found that out with .22 caliber conversion kits for 1911 pattern .45's. I now have my SIG 1911-22 and keep my .45ACP as a centerfire. Some people enjoy the swap process and the re-zero, I don't. The 455 does offer more options currently available from CZ. You can get heavy-barreled varmints, short-barrel suppressor ready, European hogback stocks, etc., etc.. The switch ability also allows the owner to quite literally create his own gun if CZ doesn't offer exactly what he wants. In other words, I've seen a 455 fullstock with an American barrel on it, and the consequent couple of inches of red-neck-barrel-booger hangin' out the front of the nose cap. To each their own. When I asked the owner, he said he wanted no iron sights on the fullstock which allowed him to mount the scope he wanted the way he wanted. So I then asked why he didn't have the barrel cut and crowned. He replied that then the barrel wouldn't be right for any other gun he wanted to switch it to. Go figure. 900F ------------- Birth certificate!? He don't need no steenkink birth certificate!! |

FS rifle seem to me to need sight to look Euro/Safari.
went to the range, had to sight in the 452 FS and took it's big brother the 550FS. a lifetime favorite to me (thanks CB). Got my son a 455. I'm not a switch barrel guy, I just buy another rifle and scope. Hate reciting etc. |

Well, I've got lots of time to let you guys kick this around so I can make a more informed decision later.
Actually, for the distances I'm generally getting on the gophers, I've actually been able to use the M&P15-22 with iron sights on a few. Also have a little old bolt with a scope and it works pretty well. I know this will evoke great howls and cries of "Blasphemy!" but I'm not really a big fan of the 10-22. I've had numerous failures to cycle since mine was new. Sent it back to Ruger and of course, they said everything is fine. So, I'm just looking toward the time when I need to be shooting them at greater distances than 30 or 40 yards. I know the HMR and WMR are equally lethal when applied to a gopher. While there's a lot good to say about the 17, I have read that the WMR may be a little more stable in windy conditions. Savage makes a pretty interesting line of rimfires that would be good candidates as well in either caliber, in case anybody has any comments on those. ------------- The reason for the 2nd Amendment is so that we can keep all the others. |

My gopher gun is sighted in at 100 yards. If the range is shorter I can aim at the feet, that way the mid-range rise either gives 'em a new navel, a heart attack, or cleans out the sinus infection. But, I do use fairly hot .22 ammo that's very accurate in my gun. Oh, and I also have a mil-dot scope on the gun. In prime gopher fields, there's no time to fuss with figurin' out anything or turning turrets, it's all shoot & shoot again. Under those conditions mil-dot is a Godsend. 900F ------------- Birth certificate!? He don't need no steenkink birth certificate!! |

Most, but certainly not all, of the time it's on 6X. I do use the 10X. If I absolutely had to replace it, I'd probably go with something in the 4-12X to 4.5-14X range. The tough part would be getting the scope with a mil-dot reticle though. 900F ------------- Birth certificate!? He don't need no steenkink birth certificate!! |
