[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 470597, member: 22069"] A few years ago, I happened upon a small gun shop that had a bunch of BRNO 98/22 mausers for sale for about $80 each. I bought two of them. Even then, the same rifles in the same condition were selling for about twice that online. About the same time, a good friend of mine scored a pristine 98/22 at a roadside sale for $40. He nicknamed that rifle "Bubba." "Bubba" will never be sporterized. The 98/22's are not as commonly seen these days, but they do show up once in awhile. The BRNO made VZ-24 actions seem to be fairly common these days and are known to be quality actions as well. Here are some examples of what is commonly available right now: [URL="http://http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=214460561"]http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=214460561[/URL] [URL="http://http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=214655227"]http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=214655227[/URL] From an economic standpoint, the Mark X commercial mausers are a better platform for a build. However, I have a sentimental soft spot for my BRNO mausers. As long as you know going into the build that it will cost more to build on the BRNO (and you are OK with that), you will likely be very happy with the end result. Good luck scratching the BRNO itch. Let me know if I can help. [/QUOTE]
