Double set triggers.


Everything you now do is something you have chosen to do. Some people don't want to believe that. But if you're over age twenty-one, your life is what you're making of it. To change your life, you need to change your priorities.

Carojoe, do you know how much your 22F weighs as you show in the picture?

I've never handled or even seen one so all I've seen is photos of rifles. Thus my curiosity on how the rifles feel in the hand and their weight, lop, etc. Thanks, CKW

Double set triggers.

When the rear trigger is cocked, it transforms the front trigger to a hair trigger. Got an adjustment screw between both triggers that allows a VERY light touch. My 22 hornet is a breath close of going off when the back trigger is cocked. Don't have anything to measure but it is close to nothing. Bought it that way but might change it a bit when I'll try it. Not ideal for hunting but for target shooting... grin You can always use the front trigger alone without pulling the rear one but its really a hard pull.

CKW...22f weighs 8.2lbs as is in picture (so does the 22 hornet). Thanks for asking, I hadn't checked yet! Range only opens at spring so got to wait for the feeling of shooting it cry

Load it up with 175 Partitions and IMR4350 and see what she'll do! They are capable of excellent accuracy with or without a scope (see my post on my 7x57 22F). I love Brno rifles.

Carojoe, thanks for the information on weight of the 22F.

It appears that the BRNO FS rifles weigh about the same as the Husqvarna FS rifles.
