I have one found that I’m interested in buying. Always wanted an above average .22lr and love the way this one looks and feels. It has a hooded front sight and an what used to be an adjustable rear sight. The frame piece is there but the guts are missing. It’s probably 75%-85% condition depending on who’s looking at it.
Three questions-
What’s a fair price for it, how hard would it be to get a replacement rear sight, and what model does this sound like? Ultra Lux or Super BRNO? That’s all I can find. I’ll look at it a little closer tomorrow.
GP is probably right - it is more than likely a training model. The training rifles have a 23.5 or 24.5 in barrel (I can't remember exactly right now) and the super bruno, etc have like a 28.5. The only difference in the training model and the deluxe was a beech vs walnut stock
The accuracy on those little rifles is great. I have a number of them and have free floated the barrels - if you miss a squirrel...it's your fault. The most accurate one I ever had was in 17 HMR. I'm not a great shot but, with that gun, I could aim at the target and fire off a round...the next shot, aim at the hole and keep shooting...the hole would just get bigger. Most accurate gun I ever had (sold it because I didn't want another mouth to feed - stuck with my 22 magnum).
As for price, I remember buying them brand new at Midsouth guns and ammo for $199...you don't find prices like that now. They have really went up and I'm not sure what a fair price is today.
Someone probably removed the rear sight when they mounted a scope. When you go to mount a scope on it, they have an 11 mm dovetail (not like a regular 22 grooved receiver). You can use Millet rings (just make sure you keep your gaps even) or CZ rings.
