A 1957 model 2 would be a better one than my 2E . My Brother-in-law had a Model 1 and it shot better than mine . I tried to buy it a few times but he would not sell it .
I get that. Mine's not the prettiest gun I own - well used, got a cheap Tasco on it, stock is dinged, bluing well worn on barrel - but it would be the last one I'd sell. Mainly because I've had it since I was about 16 and we've done a lot of hunting together. Mine loves subs.
I have a 4x 32 Tasco on mine a Japanese made one and it's got real clear optics . I also have a Leupold 2 to 7 that I always intended to put on the Brno but never bothered as the Tasco works great . One time in Singapore many moons ago I went into a camera shop and they had scopes . Had a look and they were mainly Tasco made in Japan and as cheap as dirt so I bought three . One I gave away to a grazier whose scope was f*cked and I still have two .
