Thread: Suggestions wanted for classic 22

slightly taller mounts solve lots of issues...

This is never being sold, its in the family trust.

a nice , period correct Redfield or Tasco or Weaver would be nice. Putting a modern scope on an older rifle just looks silly

I have the blade stashed somewhere

fixed 6x M8 works well..... currently wearing fixed 3x m8 and works well too.

The nuances of a Brno is the high bolt lift means you cannot mount a scope too low without altering the bolt handle a bit and if you have a larger diameter eye piece the bolt can hit it. So medium mounts and slim scopes. Longer tubes with put the rear of the object bell in front of the rear sight blade and over the ramp so you keep the sight intact. Ie Tasco 6x40 and many others eg leupold.

I had a similar issue with another 22LR and the rear sight could not be removed. Solution was a longer (higher magnification scope) that flared out further along and meant the rear sight was now under the inch tube part....Or slightly higher rings...or better yet a scope like a 1-4x that does not have the bell end or a compact like my second picture (I still have that somewhere here.....

Like this



Or a compact



This one was done not because the sight was in the way but I needed access to the breech to load it and a normal scope over top made it awkward....

Old school leupold or meopta. Keep an eye open on TM

It is obvious guys.

If you want classic an old 4x32 or x40, dont really need much more than that on a sporting 22lr. And back in the classic day a duplex reticle was as fancy as it got, you had to learn the skill of holding over

Dunno if I would call a Brno .22 a classic? The only thing that should be on one that fits with its classicness is an old 4x Bushnell, Tasco or a Bentley.

If an old Brno is a classic then so are the Toz rifles. And the Stirlings.

Depends if you want to have good clear optics or find a period scope that looks the part. I have several brnos and find the little 2-7 leupolds fit the bill well. I have a model 1 with original meopta straight tube scope of the period but it’s not your modern day clear as crystal optics.
Certainly the older Brnos are classic ( in my book!)
