Hi :
I bought a Brno 21 H just as new in 7x57 but it have the optic without lateral regulation.
I shoot some bullets throw it and saw that it was really good but a litle to the right.
I know that the last option would be with a litle hamer in the base of the mounting, but am thinking if with some sort of variyng in the load I could do the same without kicking the mount.

Congratulations on a really beautiful rifle. I've had four Model 21's and 22's in 7x57 but none as pristine as yours. It is quite a find! They are really long throated so you can load bullets well longer than standard overall length and get some extra powder space without increasing pressure.

Why not just get another scope with interal windage and elevation adjustments. On the gun I now have, I have a 1.5x5 Leupold and find it about perfect for the caliber. I've never had a Brno that didn't shoot better than an inch at 100 yards.

Actually, I think you have a problem that can't be fixed. Since your country is below the equator, the coriolis effect will make the spin of the bullet fight the rotation of the earth and make your rifle worthless. I'll be glad to fly down and take if off your hands. Just send a ticket and I'm on my way! While you're at it, set me up for a red deer hunt, please... and I'll be glad to take some of that fine wine of your country home, too.

Try turning the scope 90 degrees in either direction, then the adjustment will be for windage. The elevation might not be correct but you never now till you try.

How many meters were you shooting at, and how many centimeters was the windage off?

I'm sure I could provide some useful service by traveling to Argentina too, like wine sampling, and, making sure all of the beautiful ladies are attended to.. I'm single and available.

Thank´s for all your answers
I Think we would really enjoy a trip of all of you to Argentina.
Ladies and hunting waiting.
Now
The scope is in one piece with the bases so the only thing I can do is put a new scope and new AKA rings and not use the rifle scope.
The shooting I talk about was at 100 mt. and the desviation from the center was 1/2 inch.

Ditto TC1; that big slotted screw in the center of the rear ring should allow some lateral adjustment. I have a similar mount on a Husqvarna 6.5.

The photo looks like claw mounts (rare on a post-49 receiver). If that is true, than there might be a screw adjustment on the rear ring, otherwise, you will have to tap the front base a bit.

However, unless you are shooting squirrels, 2cm of deviation is nothing to worry about. No one ever missed a deer by half an inch.

I missed the photo's. Disregard my previous post's.

Nice looking rifle. I wouldn't worry about the tiny bit of lateral deviation. a 10 mph cross wind or having the gun canted a degree or 2 off level will make more difference than that. I've got a Brno 22F that I dearly love, but some previous owner altered the bolt handle so that I can use standard low rings.

Weagle.

Hope you don't mind if I post the pic of your gun so folks can drool over it.

gtrotz's Brno 21H:

Thank´s thank´s thank´s
Really enjoy this forum.
Well my answers:
The lateral big slotted screw is from the claw mount and is for open the rear claw to take off the sight.
I think that the correction would be ( if I want to do it) taping the front base,.
I agree that is not a so dramatic desviation and could live with it knowing that is a rifle for a 200 - 250 mts target
Thank you for take my photo and post it .
By the way how do you did it?
Really is a very nice rifle and I never have seen other before .

Here's mine with the modifications needed to do a low scope mount:

Bolt handle lowered
stock cut for bolt handle
D&T for weaver bases.

While it makes the gun much more scope friendly, it also cuts the value by at least 30 -40%. I'd never modify one. If I wanted a low scope mount, I'd buy one already altered.

Actually, you have a 22F rifle. The 21H is the half stock version and the 22F is the full stock version.

That is a very, very nice looking rifle you have!

Paste the picture address in the bar, an dadd ".jpg" after the address. That is all you need to do for the picture to show up in your post.

I copied your picture to my pbase account. Oh, and I also do not choose any alingment for the pciture. Just let the machine default to what it wants. Otherwise you can gte very big pictures that are hard for others to view.

THank you for sharing that lovely rifle with us!

That is a beauty. I'd like to own a 22F one day.

Alf, where can I get a stock for a small ring Brno in classic gesign, standard wood and what are the pricrs? Is it possible to export it to Germany?

Here in Germany you can buy them with little luck for around 200 to 500€! Only a few guys know anything about them!

Beautiful gun! But are you sure there is no provision for windage adjustment? It looks to me like there's a big screw head on the rear ring just under the scope (picture isn't big enough t tell for sure). But my claw mount rings all have windage adjustable screws on the rear rings. Crude, but better than a hammer!!

(There is no way I'd ever permit a hammer to get near that rifle. However, as you suggest, there might be a load that would give you a different point of impact in the horizontal plane that would solve the problem. Loads that shoot to different points of impact don't always do so in just the vertical plane.))
