The CZickness XXIV In The Afterglow.

Morning y'all. Coffee is on the stove, a couple hours late, but it sounds good to go with the cake I baked the wife last night... btw, baking is easy. It was my first time.


And the big news, going to look at a house at noon. And I have spent the weekend getting the paperwork squared away for an offer.

A while back i started selling specialty guns and keeping "average" because theyre usualy more reliable. My average though doesnt always mean low budget. Like building an AR for example. I dont think ive ever started one with the goal of building the cheapest one. Now ill look for the best parts at the best prices. But quality and reliability is never cheap. The people who always have problems with their guns, theres a reason for it.
I dont know why i went on this rant, but hey it fills up space

^^^^^^^^^^This^^^^^^^^^^^

It just makes me laugh when folks go on the hunt for the absolute cheapest (I really really hate that word) firearm they can find and when they find/buy it wear it like a badge of honor. Statements like "reliable shooter" always become a pat of the discussion when they defend the decision to go that route. When pushed as to "Reliable" round counts we hear 200 reliable rounds since built. Hell man thats not even 1 range day per gun for most shooters.

I stopped the budget building when the cracks in that mind set surfaced.

N0 knock on the man/woman on a budget due to lifes reality's. Just take a minute and save some more funds. When I want more I find a way to work for it.

Question for those of you in the know about cameras. My wife is interested in a camera that takes a better quality picture than a smartphone camera. Is there such a thing out there in the $500 - $1000 range? Her birthday is Thursday and we have an upcoming trip out of town.

I use a Nikon D3400. I love it. Great pictures and has been easier to learn on than a lot of the fancier options.

I may need to go check that 455 out. I've been wanting another 22 bolt gun.

FWIW, the 457s have the better trigger set up. A lot more adjustments options in them.

Morning folks!

I’m going to pick up a good rimfire rifle this summer and it’s a toss-up between the RPR and a CZ. What’s the optimal barrel length in a .22lr for accuracy?

There isn’t one. Some barrel brands will claim their 16.5” are the most accurate other say it’s the 18” and others say it’s the 20”.

Morning guys!

After 3 days of non-stop go, I slept for like 10 hours.

Thanks. Another czicko already sent me the same message. Glad you guys are looking out for me.

Yep exactly.
Hey even a rich man (which ill never be) is on a budget of some kind.
Buy once cry once is honestly the best advice my father ever gave me (he wasnt a sit down and talk kinda father). Ive tried to live by it. If i cant afford the good item, i wait and save my money until I can. Or ill sell other stuff and buy it faster if i cant wait becauae i have the itch. But i always make it happen if I want it bad enough. And almost always buying the better and more expensive item has paid off. I research too i mean. I dont just go buy things off high sticker prices
And i hunt for the deals too but if you buy crap you will mostly always have crap results.

When I get mine back from WTB, you are welcome to give it a run.

That’s cool!

Talk about someone with the bestest stuff!!!!!

 

[Trigger Time]

Very nice 88. I like the way those cz 40P are kind more boxy on the front end

I pulled overnight guard duty with the Spicyweiner. I will never look at cannons the same way again.

Henri and I were outside in the camper.....we kept the door locked

Morning all got in late from my job last night. Almost done and got a call asking if I would go to another site and complete/fix what another (former) FE had started. What a mess they told me I may be walking into a hostile situation my response was okay no problem. I walk in the place and see who the GC is and I have worked with this guy dozens of times. No problem with the second job other than the fact that the first dude didn't do anything correct. It would seem that many people today don't take pride in their work. I do.

 

[MindfulMan]

I speak CZ ..... and I speak it from deep in the woods this morning.
It's a glorious day, no matter what you choose to do. Get you some life !

Agreed, everyone is on a budget of some sort, but with some research and some internet & LGS hunting you can usually find something quality in the area you are looking at for what someone without much info pays for something of very low quality. I don't drop as much money as alot of folks here into a single piece, but I do try and research and use the experience I have had, as well as seek out the opinions of others such as yourselves who are trusted and have experience with specific items, then shop what I decide on pretty hard. Buying good quality for my intended use at good prices to get a good value is what I'm after.
