I do have one original roundbolt, one conversion by Martini and have never even seen a 21-ZG type in 50+ years of dealing with these.

For those who think a P-64-70 is the pinnacle of bolt hunting rifles, see one of these and see what IS the finest.


I compared the Brno 21 H 7-57 to one of the old M70 Featherweights I have and the smaller Brno is a handy rifle however I am used to the Winchesters. The stock on the M70 is somewhat 'thick' after you handle the slender M21.

The safety on the M70 is far superior. That's why I had a Dakota put on the M21.

The walnut on the M70 is of a high grade with great figure. The 21's is not.

That M70 of mine weighs 7#11oz with it's 4X Bear Cub in Buehler 2 pc mounts. The 21H goes 7# 9 oz in the original factory mounts.

Don't think I've seen a pre 64 70 with walnut like that from the factory

Have a chat with Morris, decent bloke...I find the high mount suffices for me as there is too little clearance for the medium even with the round bolt.

For some reason all the scope manufacturers seem to think we are all in desperate need of an excessively large ocular lens housing.

These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

Oh, and do yourself a favour and replace the magazine follower with one from a VZ24 so as to keep all the Brno stamps...and bevel the rear edge so that you can close the bolt without pushing down on the follower.

That piece of tin is the only real downside of the model 21.

These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

I just tried the Burris cz mounts and they don't work. I think there is a manufactung defect. The sides with the fixed dovetail don't match up
