Thread: A bit of .22 advice

I'm a fan of the old Brno's. They're beautifully made. My 1950 Model 1 with Eley standard will group into .25" for five shots at 50m. With CCI hunting subs it'll do around .5" at the same range. Of my two 1957 Model 2's one will match the Model 1 and the other very slightly larger (5/8") groups. My 1959 Brno 581 Auto will do around .6" with Mini-Mags however the trigger, like most semi auto's, is not the best and that's after extensive trigger work. That's the downside of a semi, the all day heavy triggers.

The Weihrauch HW 60 J .22LR mentioned by mudgripz is an extremely well made rifle and I've never seen or heard of one that wasn't very accurate. The only thing that has stopped me from buying one is the large size and weight and the beautiful wood which most of them seem to have. I'd somehow damage the woodwork while hunting and that would be upsetting. Still, if you want a full size rifle that more or less duplicates a centrefire then the Weihrauch would be hard to beat.
