A friend stopped by for lunch yesterday and after eating he said "You want to try my new rifle?" He went to his truck and got this out http://cz-usa.com/products/view/cz-452-american/ with this scope on it http://www.opticsplanet.net/leupold-3-9x40-mark-ar-riflescopes.html He told me to go out about 125 yards and set up some targets. I went and picked up some blocks of wood about 3"X3" and lined them up on a fence rail. He laughed and said what are those, might as well shoot at your barn door, then he bent down and picked up a handful of small rocks about the size of a quarter and set them up on the fence rail. We shot a box of 50 shells and never missed a shot, we even went to rocks the size of a dime. Gotta get me one of these. lb |

.17 or .22? I'd love one in either. Now, if it's a .17 put that target out at 1000 yards and see how you do. |

Supersecret message to Aqua - do you think a .17 HMR bullet is sufficient to dispatch a zombie? I'm thinking of rooftop work on long-distance targets. |

Depends on how old the zombie is. If it's freshly turned, it might just crease the skull (also true of a .22). If it does penetrate, it's a surefire kill, though, as it probably couldn't penetrate the other side, and will ricochet around in the cranial cavity. |

They also make a similar rifle in 22 mag. Squirrel-getter and varmint dispatcher supreme. CZ has made first class rifles for a long time. Their big-bore African stuff has long been known as the best kept secret in true "working" rifles. I'd love to have one in 375 H&H... |

ZOOOOOM!

Eh, maybe. LD's right. The older and more brittle the zombie, I'd say the better. You get a good headshot in though, and chances are it'll provide enough force to make the innards 'splode, thus incapacitating the zombie. |

http://www.chuckhawks.com/compared_17HMR_22WMR.htm After reading this, I think the cartridge is not really cut out for Zombie work. Probably should stick to 7mm or even good ol' .223 Remington, just to be safe. |

lb I am (as usual) envious of your retired lifestyle. I would absolutely love a sweet rifle like that. PS I have laid a lot of flooring, too. But I am an expert at laying caulk. |

![]() I am very sloppy with caulk, no matter how hard I try I make a complete mess out of it. I have a lot of caulking to do around the trees and next to the ceramic where the wood floor meets. I am dreading and procrastinating the job. lb |
