Thread: Walnut and blued steel,

Brno Model 1

My close friend for the last 24 years. CZ 527 .222

Had this a few months now. Accounted for plovers, rabbits and a couple of hares. Sako Finnfire II in 17HMR

A big thanks to @garyp and a few others on the forum, I have now got my Sako Vixen .222 back to original with period features. The final piece of the puzzle was a scope which Gary dropped off today. A Pecar 4x with Sako rings and iron sights. Very happy

Holden's favourite was the Sako Forrester (not Vixen) .243 with a Leupold 3x. Then there was his BSA Hunter 7x57 with 4x Pecar in his early days as a culler.

I think Phil used a BSA .222 as well. This might have been in between the 7x57 and 243, when triple twos were all the rage. Old news but the cullers appreciated the accuracy, lack of recoil, mild report, and more ammo for a given weight.

@Shootm Thats sweet Ross. Would look good lined up with the 7x57.

I'll say dib's if ever you have a weak moment....

Brno Fox2, my new bunny and fallow zapper, just need to find some lower mounts for my VX3. Wanted one of these for ages

My Mums old ML22 was pretty much past it though it still functioned. A prominent gunsmith told me to hang it on the wall and tell stories about it but with the taxpayer offering $700 and knowing what Mum would have thought about this affair I took the cash, added in a couple of hundred and picked this up

Out with the old (just the bottom one. Grandads winchester has been modded.
