7x57 - 12 Ga BRNO over/under value?

If it is posted on the EE it is obviously way to much $$$.
Tradex is an option as to compare prices.
Some here will scream it is worth more or it is worth less.
The final decision is yours as to whether it will end up in your safe/locker.

There a few out there and I've seen the odd one show up at local gun shows but finding a decent one for under $1,000.oo might be a little hard come across. Trade Ex does have a few but I think their prices are a reflection of the desireability of the rifle calibre/shotgun guage combinations offered.



Mine is a Brno ZH-304, 7x57R/12ga. and
I have a set of 12ga. OU barrels as well. The list, if I was to part with it, would be well over $1,000.oo.
 
Pretty sure there are similar ones used at TradeEx around $550.
Not in 7x57R. Those ones are in 22HP or some similar euro chambering.

I wouldn't sell mine for $1K.

I imagine the accuracy would be pretty good, but from my understanding, ammo/components are quite difficult to come by. Projectile diameter is .227.

Shouldn't be that bad, brass can be formed from .30-30 in a pinch since its made from .25-35. Many european ammo makers produce loaded ammo, usually titled 5.6x52r and I'm sure projectiles can be sourced. Hornady bullets are in stock at one of my LGS, but they've suspended production.

I wonder if one of those could be rebored to 30/30.
 
I paid over $1800 for a brand new Brno model 802 combination gun (12ga over 30-06). Bought it from Wolverine Supplies. Both barrels were very accurate. I traded it, but I wish I had kept it. Well made.

:)I know the feeling. Immediately after parting with my first one, the regret set in, ;)and that resulted in finding the second one I posted photos of earlier. My intro to the Brno combo guns took place when I stopped in to visit my sister and brother in law for a day, on my way north for my yearly Moose hunt. It happened to be raining and blowing so we went out for a road hunt and caught up on all the B.S. for the past year. I hadn't paid much attention to the gun he had brought, untill he stopped to thump a ditch chicken on the side of the road. At that first shot, a small two point Mulie broke cover a short distance away and he got that as well. A double, on Grouse & Deer??!! Suddenly,:d I 'needed' one of them.
It's an ideal gun here on the 'wet coast' on;) those windy days when the 'wet coast' sunshine is coming down. And, when you're just as likely to run into a Grouse as a Blacktail, walking some of the old skid roads in the bottem areas along the river. Still haven't got one of those 'doubles' of note. Perhaps this year.
 
7-30 would be good too as you could use pointy bullets.

Might as well go .30/30 then... I love my .30/30 falling blocks and break actions... 150 BT's and a case crammed with LVR makes it a different beast... definitely not grampa's turdy-turdy...

Johnn... you need to sell some guns then... too many options makes it less likely to happen... you know how they all feel when you put the other girl in a guncase and close the safe door... nothing sadder...

Well,:( I hate to admit it, but there is something that is sadder. The day is steadily approaching where it'll be time for me to start 'thinning the herd' a little. This year, I finally got 'blood' on a member of my favorite brand of bolt action rifles. One of my Schultz & Larsens in 7x61S&H. A long awaited Antelope retirement gift hunt this year for Antelope, with my Daughter & SIL in Alberta.



Back to topic, before the day comes when I do start 'thinning' the herd a little, there's presently room for two more girls in the gun safe. ;)Know what I mean Vern??
:dThere's still some hunting and shooting I want to do yet, sort of inline with the song, "I ain't as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I ever was".
