d.nelson 9 Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 I've been given a Brno .22lr waiting on the permit to come through but all should be sorted I hope by next week maybe 2. There's a sterling Nikko scope 4x32 looks alright any suggestions if I need to change it also I've heard about problems with the trigger being very slack ( haven't shot the new toy yet) is there a proper fix? Also would it be worth putting it in for a service when I get it ?? Quote Link to post
shropshire dan 467 Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 I wouldntt service it unless it needs it really. Mines a 1977 model 2 brno and its great matey.

d.nelson 9 Posted March 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 So the cz 452 and the Bruno model 2 which I am waiting for on my permit are the same guns just different names? Quote Link to post
shropshire dan 467 Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) Yes mate exactly the same guns the brnos are just the older makes its now CZ. I have a new CZ hmr and a old brno, I feel as though the brno is slightly better built imo, but I suppose that's the same as anything older they are usually made to a little bettere standard. I use a Hawke eclipse mk1 3-9x50 on my brno, 4x32 maybe ok but I'd personally go for at least a 3-9x40 or maybe a fixed mag 6x40 etc And defo something with milldots Edited April 1, 2014 by shropshire dan Quote Link to post
d.nelson 9 Posted April 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Cheers so bigger scope needed then even if it's just bigger lenses Quote Link to post
shropshire dan 467 Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 That's just my opinion. I find the 3-9x50 works really well on my .22lr. I have a 4-12x40 on the hmr, but that just gives a little more zoom for longer ranges. I tend to leave the .22 set on 6x mag and the hmr is set to 8x mag. Others will use less and more mag but I find these work well for me for normal use. Had a rabbit with the .22lr at 90 yards set on 6x mag, and a rabbit with the hmr at 130yards on 8x, these are my longest shots to date. I wouldn't really push the .22 much further but then change to hmr and take that out to 180 yards with a little more practice With the brno .22 I can consistently shoot 10p groups at 60yards using winchester subs. I zero at 55yards. Great guns and nothing can really out perform it on accuracy imo 1 Quote Link to post
