My Grandfather had one of these.. got to use it once I was in the 8th grade.. shot very very well..open sights..

Probably not the accuracy of bolts, but there were literally hundreds of gophers on the farm that hated it..

I had a second cousin on my Dad's side of the family who had one of those model 1890 Winchesters(VERY similar to 1906), in wonderful shape that was chambered in .22 WRF. WRF's weren't available to us so we tested then found it shot really well with W9inchester .22 WMR's with 40gr. HP. The rifle did not seem to mind one bit. Very fast firing and quite accurate.

The BRNO's are a very good .22 and hard to beat for accuracy, longevity and style.

I had dads old Browning take down semi auto 22. Not the most accurate but dad could still head shoot rabbits at 50 and chest shoot at 70 yards with it until he passed. Howard stole that and I replaced it with a JW15 then got a BRNO 1. The JW15 shot better than the BRNO. I still have the JW15 but the guide rails are wearing, this would not happen with a BRNO. May have to start looking for another one.

Most accurate .22 I have ever seen was a shitty dirt cheap Sterling bolt action from the Philippines. 4 or 5 different lots of ammo, 10 shits into a thumb nail at 50 yards. I tried to buy it from the bloke but , rightly, he would not sell. I would wager that was not a 1 in 1000 job more like a 1 in a million.

Meant to say, I also had a Rem pump 22. Now that was a good shooter but it was very long and cumbersome.

Just saw this. Yep truly remarkable

yes I considered him and arsehole for not selling it to me:-)

Good pick up on fat thumbs syndrome.

I should have added the Remington Nylon 66. Probably the most reliable semi auto 22 ever made, not to mention accurate.

Brno Model 5s. Two from 1958 and two from 1966.

Scopes are older model Swarovski and Schmidt & Bender.

Peep sight is Parker-Hale (England.) Clamps to dovetail. No drilling.
It swings to the side for bolt removal and scope mounting.

CZ factory scope mounts. Walnut stocks.

In the first picture, the two that are in front are the later ones from 1966. They have a straighter, wider and thicker buttplate. The earlier pair from 1958 have the curved tapered buttplates and polished receivers. The later pair have a matte finish on their receivers, with only the barrels polished. The Parker-Hale peep sight is marked "Parker-Hale Made in England PH16N." It appeared in the old Parker-Hale catalogues. One of their "Sportarget" series, this model PH16N was specifically intended for Brno .22 rifles.
