Pleasure from the past...

[JohnnySweden]

It's a wonderful feeling getting home from work, take a shower, eat the evening meal and then enter the bedroom for some rimfire shooting.


No wind and +24c - just perfect!!


Here we go - 1958 Brno..


Today, 50 meters!


My mould of earth to trap bullets and pellets


A truly timeless pleasure..

Here are the targets of today, average 18.50 mm

It's got a 23" barrel (58 cm), it's 13 cm longer then the legal minimum length.

The suppressor adds another 22 cm.



The length is however useful when I use the back-up iron sights.

Usually we have a lot of it and it takes a while to clear off the car, dispite always using a pre-heater but in -18c in the morning and a little bit of wind it sure do wake you up...

Thank you. I'm very happy about it. It's a sparsely populated country so it's quite easy to find an inexpensive property of this kind here.

The 452's were all of that barrel length in that era of manufacturer, i had one of the same, it was my first ever powder burner rifle purchase after the pistol ban, and i took many hundreds of rabbits with it.
I seem to remember them offering a 452 "Farmer" model, that may have had a shorter unthreaded barrel, but the trigger mech was different and reputedly very poor.

Today it was just as beautiful weather and still calm, time for the next rimfire..


It's not particularly accurate, but still fun..

Yesterday the BRNO really delivered!

Got 4 in a row at 45 meters this time with an average of 0.89 MOA.
