I found this rifle over here, it is a CZ or BRNO, and the price is good.

If the scope is F'd can I just use the integral CZ mounts on this thing?

Without close up exam, looks like the bridge has been altered enough that...say..Talley's will not work...can't be positive about this

If the rear dovetail is still intact. Warnes.

It went for E390 on egun. I cried, I bid E365 and went to the bathroom came back and lost it with 30 seconds to spare. I was cheap. I guess I should have bid E500. It was worth that.

Naw, it was shot out and it would have cost a fortune to get a decent scope on it. The other guy bought a lemon. LOL

Those are, or were, claw mounts and the scope is all broken up inside, so you didn't miss anything. Regular mounts would not have worked. Next time, hold it in.

This month or next month is the last month for keeping estate firearms, before you had to be licensed within a year. Now those days are over. Krieghoff Plus drillings are going for $1000 US. Any combo gun with factory scratching on it is about the same.

I was in my local gunshop the other day and he had 5 people lined up to buy their wares. The only things that have high prices are either new, or built by Purdey or Herbert Scherring or one of his classmates. Double rifles are expensive, but small caliber doubles are cheap. I regularly see them for $2000 and under.

I know where a new in the box Sauer 80/90 is for 1500 Euro in 458.

Good time to be here.

What does that mean, Keeping estate firearms? Sounds like some sort of government bureaucratic nonsense.

I think it's the same as Canadas collector status Tom. You need a valid reason to own the gun. Restricted guns that are kept because they are part of an inheritance or just because you decide to be a gun collector are registered as collector status. Guns that are registered as target practice give you certain privileges. As a target shooter your license lets you take your restricted guns to a range, gunsmith, gun store or boarder crossings with no additional paperwork. But you also have to join a range which can cost from $100 to $500 per year. Collector status you don't. There has been talk of doing away with our collector status off and on as liberals don't seem to feel its a valid reason to own a gun.

OMG! it is worse than I thought. Glad I live here.

Here in Germany if you had firearms (any at all) and you died, and your wife/kids/estate heirs were not legal gun owners before you gave up the ghost they will not get to keep your firearms and must sell them.

Unlike the USA, young people here are not interested in firearms at all.

So every day hundreds of guns are brought to the shop keeps to be sold. Most gun shops have several hundred to several thousand firearms in the back collecting dust and more get added every day.

This has lead to a huge drop in prices for used guns in Germany, and has greatly influenced the cost of new firearms.

One of the biggest reasons that gun companies in Germany (Blaser, Heym, Krieghoff, Sauer) don't build mauser sporters, is because there are millions of them for sale in the second hand market for nothing. I regularly see custom fully engraved guns in good shape for $500-1200.

Mauser only builds high end guns on new actions.

This and the growing campaign to ban private motor vehicles which are fueled by petro-products, are the most egregious indicators of the decline and end of "Western Civilization".

May all the Liberals, Socialists, Social Democrats and false "Conservatives" who support this burn in Hades!!!!

I guess "Pogo" was right more than 50 years ago, we HAVE "met the enemy and he is us"......

So what was wrong with the scope, exactly? It looks fine in the pic but I suspect it was made after Kahles succumbed to constantly centred reticles, which is the primrose path to hell IMHO.

The pity is exacerbated by the Continental taste for soldering on the mounts, which not only costs a fortune but requires the scope to be stripped, losing any gas or specially dried air it may have been sold with.

It was on our own egun.de, I never handled it. The advertisement is gone now and I can't retrieve it. It looked beautiful, like it had never been out of the box it came in. I think he got it for 375 or something crazy stupid. It is a 9,3x64 CZ 550 factory rifle produced in the 1970s. Nice gun.

I would have bought it at that price and the wrecked scope could have been a bonus. I've been trying to buy worn-out, image-movement scopes for research purposes but no one want to sell them. Presumably they are hoping to get a new-scope-for-old deal if they claim on the warranty.

Looks like a very clean Brno ZKK 600. A steal at 375.
