Just saw this elsewhere. Is it a good deal do you think?
Up for sale is a CZ/BRNO actioned rifle chambered in 8mm Mauser (8x57). It appears to have been captured at one point and then arsenal refinished as the bolt, bottom metal, and barrel don't match the action but barrel and action have the same arsenal stamps. Because of the mismatched parts I had a gunsmith check headspacing and in his words it is "exceptional". The barrel appears to be off an M48 mauser or similar, not sure about the bottom metal. The stock is a custom piece of maple, quite well done, with a limbsaver recoil pad. Unfortunately at some time someone was a little rough on the top of the receiver, likely trying to remove some iron sights. According to the gunsmith there should be enough metal still if one were to reprofile the action to clean it up a bit if one were to want to use the action for a custom build. Safe to shoot and great truck gun you don't have to worry about beating up as is or may be a candidate for a custom build. Asking $400 shipped to your door.
