John, They will never be mistaken as best guns, but every Czech made BRNO I have used, or observed in use, was hell for stout and went bang whenever the trigger was pulled. I have shot a OU combination gun in 12x7x57r, and it was an honest 1.5 inch gun at a hundred yards. On a drive hunt outside of Wurzburg, I had a long discussion with a German hunter who had an O/U with a set of 12x12 tubes and a second set of 9.3x74s. he described the rifle set as his "keiler" (boar) killer. He seemed quite pleased with it.

Ah, but in Wurzburg it's known as the 'Brunner'.

I haven't seen a Czech BRNO double rifle, but I do have two of their sxs sidelock shotguns which were mfg. in the early '60s. I think they are quality guns and a real bargain for what they sell for. If I ran across one of their double rifles in a caliber I could find shells for, I'd strongly consider buying it...Geo
