Any thing that's light and shoots well, need.

Post by Kiwi-Hunter »

I have spent quite a few hours tonight and over the weeks now reading and looking at stocks and cal.
Here's the speck, some movement and strength on the left side! The left hand will make the height of an AR mag but can't go passed the mag ( what's normal for me is my hand holds the trigger guard) and I can lock of the elbow into the hip this will allow shooting short term.
The right wont left above eye height, but still able to shoulder and hold short term.
So my thoughts are 1 in 9 twist .223 cz 527 carbine with a thump hole stock ( this will have to be shortened as well)if that's possible? also cut the carbine barrel and suppress it, this will make it a big bunny buster with the ability of a heavy projectile for what ever it is needed for.
AR15 looking at as well or any thing that's light and shoot well :lol:
Now the other side of this, as most of us aren't full of cash as I had to take early retirement two years ago.
So just trying like most to keep the cost of the build down, I can't just roll over and not have ago
You can pm me or post, and put your take on it. many minds here can solve things sometimes or see things that other cannot.
The thing I like is the 1 in 9 twist as those little 40gn flatten most things.
I was going to re barrel a browning 308 but sold it which should be in the rifle I shouldn't of sold list
Time goes when you are writing and reading, still like to hunt or just have a walk with a bang stick

Sounds to me like the CZ would be just the thing for your use. I like AR's, but don't find them to be particularly light, even though it seems they should be. Besides that, as a reloader, I don't like losing my brass in the brush.
At my age, there IS nothing better than shooting.

I hear you.
I saw a AR build down to 4lb, and shell catcher is the way to go.

Kiwi, whatever the gun you choose, have you considered a shooting stick? I mean, they make them that have a rest on the top that will grip the stock, are VERY easy to adjust on the fly for height and have the added benefit of working as a walking stick. I know you boys have to get around in some pretty rugged country in New Zealand and walking sticks are pretty useful for that.

Maybe worry less about a custom gun and use the stick to extend your reach up to the gun to steady it. Heck, they even make them in different lengths that attach to the stock and you can just fold them down when the time comes and rest it against your belt and then steady that with your off hand. That would kind of be like what you do with the AR now...right?

Anyway, just a thought.
