Yep she does a fine job on the bunnies.

Although i don't have BRNO, on both my 22lr, once i found the best round (available and affordable, anyway, I could always test more!) i found that the group tightened with a little experimenting with the action screw torque settings. For some reason, both my old Sportco and my new T-bolt both like the front screw a little tighter than the rear. Somewhere around 25 inch pounds at the front and 20 at the back; give or take for each rifle.

What I do is bed the action and barrel all the way to the front forend screw and then place a pillar between the action and trigger guard rail so the centre screw pressure can't bend the stock towards the action. Also I find that Brno barrels are fitted with a hydraulic wrench system and are so over tight it's ridiculous . It actually distorts the action . So I remove the barrel lap the barrel threads slightly to remove the insanely tight fit and refit the barrel . With Winchester power points mine has put 10 in under an inch at 100 metres quite a few times but if the wind comes up the group spreads . Shot heaps of roos in the head at upto 100 meters with it in the old days .
Not sure what it would do now as I have not shot it for about 5 years . the bedding could be stuffed and need redoing but knowing a Brno I bet it still shoots ok.

The Greens should approve, it's 100% organic and natural

I haven't bothered doing anything to mine (I have done the lowey trigger spring kit) but other than that she's all original, I haven't found it necessary to muck around with it to be honest, it shoots fine for hunting purposes (if I was wanting to shoot groups I'd definitely do work to it) but she's only a hunter so not needed. :thumbsup:

Gwion wrote:Its noticeable, Sally. Maybe made 1/4 inch at 50m on my T-bolt. Hard to say. I recently cleaned out all my test targets but will try to find an example when I get home from work.
