I am resurrecting this old post with aim to present my .22 rimfire rifles, from top to below:

• Anschutz Model 1386 single-shot, manufactured and purchased in 1971, now mounted with a Nickel 1-4x rifle scope; my first good quality rifle when I was a teenager.
• MAS 45 ‘closed season’ or ‘schönzeit’ rifle mounted with a Zeiss Diatal 4x32 on detachable scope mounts; this rifle was presented to me in 1993. I was never able to assess when it was manufactured as the Manufacture d’Armes de Saint Etienne’s (MAS) archives are not available; I assume that production occurred sometime between 1947 (all parts stamped MAS, no reference to Mauser) and the late 50’s or early 60’s when production stopped.
• Brno Model 1, manufactured in 1952, a later acquisition mounted with a Zeiss Diatal 4x32; no visible ‘tgf’ marking.

I use these rifles extensively for shooting training and pest control, mainly magpies and some crows in my area, as there are not much feral cats left roaming around!
