Quality of BRNO Firearms

[Vair]

I am looking to purchase a few different firearms.
I was told that BRNO guns are a great value, but I have a few questions:
Are they accurate (reasonable to expect < 1 MOA for 5 shot groups)?
Are there many people interested these guns? (do they have good re-sale value)?
Are the best BRNOs the ones made in Belgium (as compared to the ones made by CZ)?
They seem to be a practical firearm (without too many fancy additions) that handle very nice. Can anyone attest to how they shoot (reasonable recoil, feeling of gun etc)?
I would appreciate objective feedback. (die-hards welcome, as long as they have good points!)

I have a BRNO CZ in 22 hornet with double set triggers. Very plain but also very accurate. (easy 1 moa) Quick to shoulder, easy to shoot and nice to carry. Try it you will like it.

which model and what caliber?

Not every Car Ford made was a winner, but to say Ford never made a good car would be a lie as well.

CZ has had very few losers and some exceptional winners.

I am a huge fan of the CZ's. Exceptional value for your money. 1M0A easily on most, my .223 is a .6 MOA rifle right out of the box. You cannot go wrong with this breed of rifle in my opinion.

To your first 2 questions...YES

I owned a Brno model 5 in 22lr several years ago.It looked plain,but it was very accurate.

One of my .30/06s is a Brno ZG-47 and other than some stock work and a change in front sight is mostly stock. It shoots MOA at 300 yards, which is twice as good as it needs to be, but nice to have. I've shot and owned several Brno rifles from a Brno Fox in .222 to a 602 in .458 and IMHO they are the best bang for the buck. You can only get a better rifle by going custom.
