BRNO Model 4. Updated with Range Report

[Calfed]

I won a BRNO no.4 rifle at an online auction last month. Almost looks unfired. Haven't been able to pick it up from my FFL, but intend to correct that situation next week.

 

[Kisssofdeath]

That BRNO 4 is in great shape. I have the Biathlon version. Gloss blue finish.

Hey, I saw that beauty over on my thread at Rimfire Central. That is a great looking rifle.

Thanks!

It came in the original box and included the paperwork, including a test target

 

[Kisssofdeath]

That's nice and adds a lot of value to the rifle. What auction did you win it on?

Hey, as a fellow BRNO owner, I notice the warranty card is addressed to the Hart Arms Co. In New Mexico. Any idea who they are (were)?

The Brno 4's are a nice rifle and are surprisingly accurate with the right ammo, both look nice gentlemen.

 

[Calfed]

I picked up a DIP CZ 527 25 MOA rail. Am going to use this rifle in a 200 yard match and have a B&L scope that is famous for not having much elevation adjustment.

That is a fine looking rifle!

Not sure on that one, mine was imported by Boheman arms. Probably spelled wrong.

 

[Stevelightning]

Here is my model 4 it shoots very with the right ammo.

 

[Calfed]

Wow! Another biathalon model. Nice.

What kind of ammo does it like?

 

[Calfed]

A couple of more pics of mine...

 

[Kisssofdeath]

Mine with the open sights on. Did you guys get apertures with yours?

Stevelightening, if you get a chance could you take a few close up photos of your mag release button? When I bought mine it didn't have the mag release button. Someone removed it and was using a single shot adapter. Went to Lowe's and come up with the following. Works great but if I could make it look more original I would. But I don't really know what it looked like in the beginning.

 

[Calfed]

I wondered what the knurled knob was for.

What scope bases are you using?

 

[Stevelightning]

It’s likes Center X

 

[Calfed]

It’s likes Center X

Glad for that...

Do you have the magazines that are for the biathlon stock. I noticed your have 10 round mags instead of the 5 round weighted mags

Mine came with one.

Any targets guys ?

 

[Thud]

I had one. At times it outshot my Anschutz 2013.

 

[Calfed]

Any targets guys ?

I'm waiting out my "10-day cooling off period". Should have it next week

 

[Kisssofdeath]

Any targets guys ?

This is the only target I have a photo of. I put the factory peep sights on after this and they are still on. I would imagine it would shoot pretty good if time was taken. With the long sight radius I like using the irons on my swingers.

 

[Kisssofdeath]

Thanks for the photos. The first photo is blurry, does the handle have a bolt in the center holding it on or is the "stem" threaded on the end.

No, mine come with a single shot adapter and that's all. I have seen those mags before. Thankfully the 10 round mags work great and are long enough to seat firmly.

 

[Calfed]

My buddy wants to start a 200 yard .22 match and I'm thinking of using the Model 4. Also thinking of using a B&L 6-24 x 40 scope that has great optics, but is short on elevation adjustment. I grabbed a 25MOA DIP rail for the Model 4

 

[Kisssofdeath]

I have one too, good choice. I'm glad we have companies like DIP around to offer stuff like this for a reasonable price.

So am I. That is what free enterprise is all about!

It’s a black screw that takes a Allen wrench

 

[Kisssofdeath]

Thanks

 

[Calfed]

Finally mounted a scope on my model 4. Will report the results. I used a DIP rail for the mount...

 

[Calfed]

I meant to shoot this sooner, but just now got around to it.

50 yds with Lapua Midas+. First shot ("cold bore") went through the center of the target. Next 5 were slightly lower.

Excellent shooter! I have a BRNO Model 2 and a CZ 452 that are great as well! I have been looking for a Model 4 with the diopter sights for a while!
