Thread: Bought a 22

I lost the Bolt for my old BRNO a while back and so far have not been able to find it or a replacement. I now really need a .22 and I was thinking that Id get a CZ457 later in the year after my trip too the states was out of the way.

Anyway I needed something in the meantime and thought Id pop up too the local shop and see if they had a cheapie on the racks that would get me through. They didn't but the owner said he had a couple out back that had just come in that he hadn't checked over or tested for accuracy. we went out back and he handed me a Mauser 201. I didn't know much about these but I could see it was way better quality than I had anticipated and though he was asking a bit more than I had thought to pay when I walked in the door, I told him I think Id regret not buying that and he agreed.

So I payed the money and came home and checked it out. Bloody hell im impressed! No plastic or stamped components, Duel locking lugs, walnut stock with I presume, rosewood tip. Beautiful little palm swell in grip, fully adjustable trigger.

It came with steel mounts and a Weaver K4 scope.

A quick sight in showed it will take the eye out of a cat at 40 meters.

It's in near as new condition as a 40 year old gun could be, just a bit of dust and grease grime on stock from storage in a safe really.



I dont think Ill need to buy the 457 now.
