9Three & Mick,
Collector value had nothing to do with what I said about the rifle deserving better.
I don't buy any guns for collector value, they are all bought to be used on a regular basis.

Early Brno rifles, ZG's m21's etc, are not easy to find here in Oz.
If or when you find one, it is highly unlikely the price will be anywhere near $900 unless the seller was born yesterday.

The rifles are what they are so long as they are original.
Once someone has drilled holes in the action to fit their idea of a suitable scope mount, the gun has been ****ed with, pure and simple, and the way it has been done may not be the next persons idea of nice job or well done.
I've seen quite a few nice rifles stuffed up like this over the years.

I didn't say don't ever scope it.
I did say if it was mine I wouldn't scope it.

My point was that these are very good quality rifles regardless of the dollar figure they might sell for, and if you decide to scope it, do it well and don't just drill it to take some crappy old cheap mounts.
