I don't know these aren't any more popular than they are. They only cost $167.50 grin

TC, at that price I might be able to stand both of those rifles.
The problem at the time, what was the price of a model 70? smile

This came up before and someone posted these were actually more than a M70 at the time. Having owned both I would pick the little BRNO in a heartbeat.

I would also but at the time the Model 70 was the competition.
The BRNO's are very nice little rifles.. Just have very few of them, a 21f and 22h. Oh and a pretty nice ZG47. All in 7x57..

FYI
There is a 22f at cabelas in Tualatin Oregon, Its 1500.00 i think chamerd in 8x57.
It has claw mounts but no rings. Might be real spendy to put rings on it...tj3006

Thanks. I noticed that listing. I'm still undecided if I go optic or stay irons.

Well, I got the Leupold CZ highs and they barely DON'T clear a VX 3 2.5x8. What scopes are small enough to clear the bolt handle?

Using a VX2 2 -7 x 28 here. It just clear the bolt handle. Not a long list of choices.

I love my 7x57 round top 22F. With 175 Partitions I can generally hold 1" groups out to 80 yards or so with the open sights. I sold my 21H for a pristine ZG47 30-06.

Actually the same arrangement you went with on the rings and yes a butter knife handle.

From my post above:

"It's one piece scope mount must be factory and fits on male dovetails built into the receivers front and rear rings. This low mount would only allow the small Leu. VARI-X 3-9 Compact to fit. This is well done machinery."

Perhaps this may help.

Looks like your bolt handle has been modified.

While my 21h is not a primary rifle I got it out to handle and a check of it's last outing at the range shows it put two 162 gr Amax into 2" at a hundred yards then the next two 1" high at 200 yds into a 1/2" 'group'.

Tried an old Weaver K-4 I had. Bingo, fits perfect! More period correct also.

OP, you're going to like your new rifle. I have three of them, ( bottom to top) a 22F 7x57, and a 21H 7x64 and a 21F 8x57. I used the 8x57 this fall to take a bull elk on the run, really like the way these rifles handle. I have upgraded the safeties on all mine, to a model 70 style. I replaced the double trigger on the 22F and did some other minor upgrades on all three. The are now near perfect artistic hunting rigs.
