Well I got my Brno 458 back from Afro408 (Tony Small) yesterday after having some work done to tidy it up.

This was the one I bought cheap at AAA awhile back.

Tony fitted cross bolts,bedded it,fitted a new recoil pad,made a new trigger (as I hate the set ones and I can't buy the curved ones anywhere)and honed the sears,fitted a barrel band sling swivel,filed the rear sight into a shallow "V" , and most importantly got it to feed 45-70 projectiles as I will mainly use this for group 2 at the Big Game Rifle club.

My first load is 72 grains of 2206H under the 405 grain Remmington 45-70 projectiles for 2283 fps.

Here is two shots @ 100 yards with the express sights off hand (not bad seeing as I am just aiming at the centre of the A4 piece of paper because I cant see the target.

Took it out this morning pig chasing but only got three pigs as old mate wanted to muster some goats so I only went into his two eastern paddocks.
The dogs caught two and I shot one.
Here is the one pig I shot. You can see where the bullet entered the shoulder and it exited out his neck.

This is the biggest the dogs caught.

Shot this fella too as I needed to pull the trigger on something.

Shot him right handed too off the bike ( I am left handed).

Would like to thank Tony for some more great work.
Cheers Mate.
