Does this refer to the design of the Brno/CZ ?
What great innovation is/was there with them.

Is their accuracy overrated?
Our best shot in our club bought a Varm. model and was extreemly disapointed with it.

He and the other club members with Brno's have their work cutout for themselves just keeping up with my "common" Ruger 77-22.

And this from a recent ad for a CZ 453 Varmint.
"ect. new trigger mechanism featuring set-trigger which guarantees very comfortable and accurate fire."

Comfortable?? accurate fire ?? Jeese!!!

All the ones I've seen came with shocking heavy triggers, some needed barrel lapping, most target shooters load the magazine because they can't single load thru the dinky little ejection port. The only auto I've seen loved to jam. ect ect.

Yep, I manage quite well with out the buggers, with their back to front safties.

Still, 2 Moa ? is 1" group at 50 yards, not too bad for a field rifle is it?
Sure a lot of ammo won't shoot in my 77-22, a hell of a lot.
I had a look at the Brno No.2 next to me on Sunday. Lovely looking piece, long and slim, nice wood, trigger has been done over.
Only thing not to like apart from the tight ejection port and safety was the 'orrible checkering. Flat,wide and useless.

It shoots pretty awful with Win power points, but good with SK rifle match.
Yeah, I suppose I'd take it home if it was offered cheap.

But then who of our more noted gun designers and names other than the Great Von Mannlicher himself can call on more than 130 working, in production patents to back up their genius
