Title: Shooting a rabbit at 282 yards - CZ452 (.17 HMR)
Post by: rdcinhou on May 15, 2017, 09:29:52 AM

Article about an amazing shot with a CZ452 in .17 HMR

I bought a left-hand CZ452 in .17 HMR for my wife last year.  She's a better shot than I am, but I don't know if she could make this one.

Wow impressive I thought shooting a jack rabbit at 100 yards with my savage mk2 is impresive. I am jumping on CZ bandwagon

You have to remember though that this shot was from "on high"--thus the bullet drop due to gravity did not limit the horizontal travel as it would in a horizontal shot.

The skill of the shooter to compensate for both gravity and wind to make the shot is impressive.
