Izmash Biathlon KO new in the box

[Cosmoline]

Picked this up yesterday off of a local forum. brand new in the box Izmash Biathlon KO. I already have one that I sent to ADCO to have threaded for a suppressor host. These rifles have an incredible trigger and are tack drivers. This one will get stuck in the safe for awhile

Great catch, and great price too.

Very nice grab. IIRC they've been out of production or simply not imnported for about 8 years now.

The used market is where you'll find them (if you're lucky).

They are no longer imported, I think they ceased importation in either 2002 or 2004. Used market is the only place to find them and fairly beat up ones go for $400+ on gunbroker.

Why are they no longer imported? It looks like an excellent rifle.

Beautiful rifle and great price.

I paid 400.00 for one NIB about 7 years ago. It is by far the best 22 I have ever owned. It always gets a lot of attention at the range with the toggle bolt action.

Still looking for some magazines if anybody know of a source.

Got one on Gunbroker last year. They are hard to find and I just kept checking until one came up. Keep checking Gunbroker, GunsAmerica, RimFireCentral, etc. is the best bet to finding one currently until they start importing them again. They would rather sell the Biathlon 7-3 and 7-4 models for a lot more money than the 7-2's. regards, Dale
