They certainly are neat! I wish that I had bought more 21/22H's when they were easier to find at a decent price but I am happy with the few that I have..

Can't be jealous, got one. Hell yeah! Remember the scope can't go too low as the bolt handle travels a right smart, uppards

Nice rifle! I really like my Brno's too. They are a bit less rare in Canada, but they aren't exactly common here either. I have been hunting with my full stock carbine (22f )7x57 and half stock rifle (21H) 7x64 so much in recent seasons that my other rifles are getting jealous. Moose, Mule Deer and whitetail have all been bagged. I was fortunate to find a "old beater" 21H in 8x57 last year that will need some TLC, but it has a factory original low bolt and single adjustable trigger that makes it about the ideal rifle for me. It will be a fun project to restore it. I found that with my 7x57 it has a long throat and fast twist, it likes long heavy bullets. Enjoy shooting yours!
