They are nice, I have two customized ones, but, they do not compare to the smallring Brno 21/22 rifles. Dewey Riesterer is a cross dresser . He borrows a rifle as he has none of his own.

I always thought the letters CZ inside the circle to the right of "VIRGINIA" meant Ceska Zbrojovka. I have never seen one that literally had "Zastava Yugoslavia" marked on it, until today. All the ones I've owned and seen said "Manchester England." But today I googled up this picture of one marked Zastava. The circle to the right still looks like it says CZ inside to me, the dummy. Mausers give me a headache. Our God reigns. Harrumph!!! I often use quick reply. My posts are not directed toward any specific person unless I mention them by name.

The Brnos DO differ in some details and the older roundtops are somewhat different and, IMO, perhaps a bit less desirable than the "flattops" made later. However, they represent the pinnacle of production bolt action sporting rifle manufacture and should be treasured as such. My absolute "dream rifles" would be a factory original, stone mint, pair of a ZG-74 with the MC comb stock in 9.3x64B and a late 22H "roundbolt" factory chambered in 7x64B, both with the 23.6mm barrels. I would prefer to find, buy and use these to being given a Purdey. I guess I must be a true "riflelooney".

Barrel band front sling swivel, one standing rear sight sleeved to barrel. Holds five down and one in the chamber. This is a classic big game rifle if I have ever seen one! whelennut I like to do my hunting BEFORE I pull the trigger! There is only one kind of dead, but there are many different kinds of wounded.
