Roger and Al built me a 257 Roberts on a 1909 that looks like a brother to yours except I had them add the trapdoor buttpad. ddj Many men go fishing all their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after. - Henry David Thoreau The best part of hunting and fishing was the thinking about going and the talking about it after you got back. - Robert Ruark

Paul isn't a conformist, he follows nobody when it comes to style. When you get a custom from him you get a true custom. BRNO 21H in 7X57. 24" barrel, Zeiss/Jena 6X scope.

How does it "shoulder" for you? It looks different for sure.

Here is the last in my collection. I have never hunted this rifle. I got a great deal on it though and just couldn't pass it up it. I guess this one would qualify as a "safe queen" because it never gets used. It did get used sometime in it's past so I guess I'll just call it "retired." It's a pristine little BRNO 21H in 7X57. I've owned a few of these over the years but everytime I got one somebody had cut off or added something to it to fit thier needs. This is the only original I've ever owned and it will stay that way while it's in my care. Oneday I'm going to poke a deer with it.

Certainly not a safe queen.......but has proven its worth out in the field, having taken approx 80 deer to date. When I get the time, the varnish will make way for a nice oild finish. Action has been bedded, trigger lightened. Its particluarly fond of Winchester Super X 145 grain factory loads. CK Last edited by Howa1500man; 01/23/11.

I had 21H a number of years ago and a collector got it from me, One of a few rifles, that I kick myself for ever selling! butter smooth action. I haven't seen but a couple of 21H's in 7x57, mostly in 8x57's There sure has been a lot of fantastic 7's on here.
