Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles CZ Brno 22 F

There is some confusion about the nomenclature. If I understand correctly, the model 21 is the long barrel version and 22 is the carbine. Both were made in full stock ( F) and half stock ( H ) versions. The long barrel full stock versions are quite rare. I have seen model 21-22 rifles in 7x57, 7x64, 8x57IS, and 8x60S, and I believe some may have been made in 9.3x62 and 6.5x57 as well. Both models came in round top on the older versions and double square bridge & grooved receiver on the newer ones, double set triggers on nearly all, and a very few with a single trigger. butterknife bolt was standard, with a few later ones with round knob bolt better for low scope mounting.

My 8x57IS 21H was a real find with the round knob bolt and single trigger.

The most powerful chambering I have seen for sale was .358 Magnum.

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.

That is because there was high tax in USA on imports from behind the Iron Curtain at that time. Sure, these are nicest mass-produced post WWII rifles out there. Would I sell my old Winchester 70 to buy one of these rifles. No. That is because there is no beating old Model 70 for ruggedness and reliability.

Besides model number I do not know the difference between ZG-47 and Model 21/22.

Oh, the ZKW465's

I'd been wanting one for years. I broke down last year and bought one. Very nice little rifles.

Then why bother posting if you don't have a single clue, you smarmy miserable piece of [bleep].

Now kindly [bleep] off and die a slow miserable death somewhere away from the sight of decent men.
