very nice collection you have there
Which action do you prefer ( not too many folks have an 1885, No 1 and a Dakota)?Quote:

Moving a few rifles around at the moment and taking the opportunity to oil the metal work and feed the stocks I know its not walnut but my little humble Brno Model 5 still looks fine in my book.

Maple maybe.Quote:

Never really gave it much thought , I used to have a few old Brnos from the fifties and the stocks were always plain mostly , that is a exceptional one , I only have a Model 1 left , never fondled a model 5 , trigger supposed to be better is that a fact ?
Apparently so. I haven’t shot the model 5 much. I have used my model 2 more in action. But close to retirement so I will get these out more and play with them.Quote:

Certainly not the dark walnut that is most common. Pretty though. I’ll take a pic of the 3 sometime and put the photo up.Quote:

The Brno collection. At the front is a 601 chambered in 250 Myra (.25-222) wearing a Zeiss Conquest 3.5-10x44, centre is a Mod 2 chambered in 20 Myra Extruder (a squeeze bore that has a 22lr chamber, but squeezes the projie down to 20cal. It's wearing an old steel tube Weaver K6 in this photo, but currently has a steel tubed Meopta 6x with the parallax adjusted, and another Mod 2 in 22lr wearing a Leupy V3 2.5-8x36 with the parallax adjusted

That squeeze-bore concept was an interesting concept that never gained much commercial traction.
Myra dabbled with a lot of interesting stuff back in the 60's
A few more.
Rem 700 BDL varmint in .22-250, original stock with the bowling ball finish stripped off and a rubbed oil finish applied. Now has a modified factory stock - not as pretty but fits much better. The original stock is safely tucked away. The rifle has a Rifle Basic trigger and Swaro Z6 2.5-15x56.
Attachment 272550
Parker Hale .243 with custom stock. Currently wears a Zeiss Conquest 3-9x40 but I am on the hunt for a nice old 6x or 3-9x Kahles, Swaro or Meopta
Attachment 272551
Ruger M77/17 in .17hmr, Jard trigger and Loopy 3-9x33 EFR scope nice and low in Loopy rings

I'd say your presuming alot. Hunters have always shot cats where they can and it pre-dates the latest predator free nonsense. Back to walnut/blued eh? Here's a nice 17hmr made by Larry Jackson custom rifles in Whangarei. He made the entire rifle except for the barrel. It is a work of art.Quote:
