Brno 1957 mod2 vs 1990 mod2 vs mod5 vs slazenger 12

[MR. WINCHESTER]

I've had 'more than a few rimfires' and the very best of them all, is my Lithgow Model 12 !

Extremely accurate; great action; lots of sentimentality as well, given that it was my grandfather's rifle.

I've got a Model 1.

One of the old blokes (a wealth of knowledge) tells me that when the Russians moved into Czech, the quality dropped.

I guess going from happy factory worker to Comrade factory worker had its affects on the build quality.

On a benchrest, my model 1 shoots as well as an Anschutz BR rifle I've got. Mad, but, true.

Yeah it's a good forum with a lot of knowledgeable people and very active too. That Mod 2 looks in pretty mint condition too (I'd buy it if I had the $$ no worries at all)

Id go the later model 2 and the Lithgow as well....The early model 2 sounds to good to take out and id say came out of a collection, the model 5 will probably be the same. The rear sight on the Model 5 will be a fixed/2 folding type, same as the model 1. The later model 2 mentioned will have the conventional ramp adjustable which makes for better accuracy in my books.
