Stock & scope for .22LR Brno Model 1

[axp817]

Abhijeet is correct, scopes by themselves aren't illegal, they are considered optics, not firearms.

My dad took a Leupold (not the Rifleman or the VX-I ) to India last week, advantage of having someone bring it, instead of having it shipped is you might save on customs duties.

Naren, a riflescope or any other optical sight for a firearm can only be brought back as part of one's baggage. Importing it via the post or courier route will result in the scope being confiscated. I do know of one person who bought two scopes off ebay, at seperate intervals. He managed to get the scopes but this was the exception rather than the rule and both times, he had to travel to Bombay to clear them from customs.

Good to see you back.

this is a swift gopher 4x15 ,can faintly see the foresight post when seeing through.generally use the old system of boresighting to mount the scope and then getting it zeroed-thinking of also getting a cheap boresighter-any suggestions.must say photobucket works!the last photo is my brno assembled

thanks andy

Thanks, Andy.

Thank you Mack The Knife, I didn't know that.

Seems like a lot of hassle, if you have to travel to a different city and haggle, in addition to paying customs duties.

Hi,
i got the rifle stock for my BRNO made to order by Vijay Mistri at Tahir Arms and he charged me only 2500 for walnut material.He has also made astock for my 3006 from rosewood and you can try him as this does not involve import.

Hi Sunil,
Any possiblilty of post a picture of what he has done for your Brno.I am also considering a replacement stock for my Brno mod.2,which now wears a plain beach stock.

Many Thanks

whats the latest on import of .22 magazines-is the restriction the same- i have a 10 rd CZ 452 mag waiting in the USA for me

That is a unusual way to mount a scope, how is it shooting?

[andy_65_in]

Hi MoA the scope shoots perfectly. Anyway now that my bro is well settled in the USA am planning to convert to better scopes with proper mounts.

what ring size-medium or high should i procure for a nikon 4x12x40 riflescope for my brno model 1.also the rail size is 11 or 16 mm? :?i believe the high mount affects zeroing

Andy,

My father has a Brno Mod1, serial number 70065, with the same kind of scope. Its a 4x Anschutz Savage with a single post reticle. He says that it came with the rifle. I have used this rifle for the past 30 years and it still performs perfectly. The scope is a bit fogged now so I have got myself a Tasco 3-9x32. The intergral rail is 16mm.

medium mounts, for your quoted objective size.
however, if you have a rear sight that strikes the objective, then high mounts.

high mounts are suited for longer ranges. you can still zero with them.
