Of coarse they aren't very common over here but every one I've seen had a different stock on it. How many different styles did these come in anyway? I've owned two. The first one was a .30-06 that had an American style raised cheek piece and a schnable forend tip stock. The other is an 8X64 with no cheek piece. I've seen another that fla3006 has posted pictures of and it looks nothing like either of mine.

How many stock styles did this rifle come in anyway?

Thanks,
Terry

Terry, I have rifles of 4 different stock configurations in my collection and I believe there are others too including full "Mannlicher" like the earlier 22F. Some have cheekpieces (2 different rollover types and a European pancake type), some w/o, some with grip caps as well as w/o, and 4 different checkering patterns. All mine have schnabble tips. There were also 2 barrel lengths and receivers were matte finished or bright blued. Carved stocks and engraved receivers could also be had.

Alf,
I was wondering if you know much about the Parker Hale "Hussar". I have one in 308 Norma Magnum with a Monte Carlo stock. Just wondered about the history of this ZG47 rendition.

ZB sold a few hundred ZG47 actions & barreled actions to Parker Hale, FW Heym and Waffen Frankonia near the end of production. Approx 20K ZGs were made by ZB from 1950-1962.

OK, Thanks!

I guess both of the models I've had are both heavy barrel models.

Rumor has it I have a horse shoe rammed up the wazzo, but I picked up a ZG in 9,3x62. After reading that article posted here it must have either the deluxe B or C style stock. Lightweight and schnable forend. Much more pronounced than the 21H has. Hope this helps for your reference on some of the rare ones.

It got it's first meat buck this fall too with the 250gr Accubond.

Noel, nice rifle and animal. I think both of mine have the heavy barrels. They both have matte finish receiver with and shiny barrels. I no longer own the .30-06, but still have the 8X64s. The .30-06 is for sale if anybody is interested. ZG-47 for sale It's not 100% original, but it's a clean rifle. When I owned it I was going to use the action for a custom rifle project, but sold it instead.

8X64s Brenneke no cheek piece.



.30-06 with the raised cheek piece

Anybody out there actually seen a 10,75x68 ZG-47?

I have heard of two in Canada, but never saw either. They were owned by die hard collectors I believe. I have also seen pics online of a couple 9,3x64 Brennekes.

TC1, that 8x64 is real nice!

My rifle has had the bolt tooled, has the polished reciever as you can see and has the cheekpiece too.

I have a friend in BC who has a very rare 22F/ZG47 crossover rifle in the superb 7x57. It has the usual 22F mannlicher stock, DST's and small ring reciever but it wears the ZG round bolt handle and the swing over safety that is found on the ZG's. It is very unique looking!

Another gent in BC is rumored to have a 22F in either 9,3x57 or 62. It would be a handfull to shoot! LOL A bit off the topic here but I never would have thought they'd make that one!

Does anyone know how many 9,3x62 ZG's were made?
I had heard 33-40 perhaps......

I think far more 9.3s were made than 40. One was for sale at the Dallas show awhile back, a friend here in Houston who is not a collector has 2, Alf has several, and 2 dealers I know in Sweden say they see them from time to time. Not commonplace but not impossible to find either.

it looks like the safety on those is back to fire is that correct??

Yes

I've located a ZG-47 with e Mod. 21/22 left side safety, and also a Model 21 with a regular Mauser safety (shroud) - does anyone know if this is common, or has somebody in the past just exchanged parts?
I also picked up a ZG-47 in 9.3x62 recently!

Boha - how common are ZG-47:s amd mod. 21/22:s in Finland?

Parker Hale originally used military 98 actions and sporterized them into their Model 1000 rifles. As the supply of 98 actions was drying up they purchased a number of actions from Brno and these were stamped with " Hussar" and Parker Hale on the left side of the action. I have one in 308 Norma as well. I have also seen quite a few in 30-06 and several in 7x57. Shortly after that Parker Hale started using the Spanish made Santa Barbra actions that were built into the newer Model 1200 rifles. Hope that answers your question.

fla3006 Just curious, what is the serial # on your rifle? Mine is # 168

820, it's a 243

Not very common, I'm afraid, neither of them..
Tikkas and Sakos have the market, you know...
