99. I like the top one of the 3. Ever go back and see prices realized on these? I like the light/trim look of that top one a lot.

no, I don't recall what they went for now but you can bet they were all 5 figure guns. JJ's keeps several years of old auctions on their site and you can search their old catalogs and it should show sales prices.

Only had time to check one realized list last night without success. My guess would have been $7,500, $9,500 and $23,000. respectively depending on the close-up quality. Will check later. Thanks.

Karnis. I never get tired of looking at this rifle. Thanks again.

brno284.....what you have there is one that I wish I had.

Thanx, I have a few, the one pictured is actually on the block in the classifieds. I have 4 so I figure it can go to pay for its large ring counterpart the BRNO ZG47 which I just picked up. So now I have a matched set which I have been searching to replace after I foolishly sold one!

I know a certain old geezer who is "jealous" of ONE that you have, a particular 21/22 action and I bet that you know just which one!

It should not be too difficult for a guy in Montana, to buy one of these Brnos, here in Canada. I have bought one 21H and two ZG-47s in the past two months and passed on one of the nicer 22H rifles in 7x57 I have seen for awhile, at a good price, as I am saving to buy a 4x4 and I have quite a few now.

Any of the bigger Canadian gunstores can find you one and, IIRC, there is an outfit, "Leroy's Big Valley Guns" in Montana, that can do the paperwork to get it to you in the States.

I will say this and it is if you get one in nice shape and put a Micky Edge, Lapour safety and Alaska Arms trigger on it plus a decent scope in Talleys, I will bet that you will seldom carry any other rifle to hunt with. I have almost stonemint P-64 Alaskans in .338WM that I have only taken on one trip because these Brnos make up into such a hell of a using rifle.

Some absolutely outstanding rifle here.
My little small ring 30-06 Husquvarna done by Steve Berg is really more 96 than 98 but is still a light, handy little rifle

Here is a semi custom small ring BRNO 21H in 7X57. It came out of Paul Dressels shop.

Sweet right down to the nicely contoured safety. But, I like the twins atop the scope too. Very slick. What brand/model on the scope?

Zeiss/Jena 6X

Thanks. Appreciate it.

this post should never end...

Jim Kobe shipped mine yesterday. I hope to have pics next week.

I agree. Kinda got me to ignore all my large rings in the safe as of late. They seem sorta fat now that I've warmed up to the SR's.

oh, looking quite forward to seeing that!

??? Pics???
