Actually I might have lied above. Did you bring that to plinkfest?

Brno Model 1, 2, 2E or 5
The Brno Model 2 shown earlier is a 2E, BTW (unless the stock has been changed).
Just to be different - what about a BSA kadet (Martini action) - that should get the people slavering.

Im surprised the brno model 1 or a sportco hasnt been mentioned.
Personally i think any one of these fits your brief just nicely...
Sportco mod 63
Lithgow model 12
Brno mod 1 or 2.
Imagine how many pallets of lead were released from these 4 beauties...!!!

I thought it was the other way around...the Sportco's were based on the Wini's...?

A Nice rare Vintage .22 would be a Fieldman in a thumbhole stock.

Awesome idea, but it will need an extra 2 and an r added to the cartridge name.
