Hi Age

What model is it?

I recently came accross a well written review of the vostok rifle it was written by a UK shooter.
found the write up.
Hi,

The Vostok CM2 rifle was If I remember rightly made in
Russia by Baikal, the Russian Arms Company. Originally the
Vostok was produced in very limited numbers for members of
the national shooting teams.

Vostok model 1, 2 and 3 and the Vostok CM2

Vostok Models 1 through 3 were made in numbers less than
500 each (as far as I know) The date for production seems
to be around 1959 through to 1964.

I have owned several Vostoks Model numbers 1 2 and 3, the
best being a Model 3 (Rome Olympics) Russian Reserve team
rifle no 422, It shot so well that It was used by one UK
National shooter and 2 other County shooters before I
purchased it. After 2 years of owning the rifle I got into
the Surrey County Shooting Team (United Kingdom) my best
series with the rifle was 699 ex 700 at 25yds. Sadly when I
gave up shooting in August 2000, nobody wanted my Vostoks,
so they were all broken up and scrapped.

The early Vostoks are not considered to be "Good Guns" by
today's standards, they are dated to be sure but they were
made from the very best materials and the barrels are
excellent. The CM2 was brought in sometime in the 1970s and
was still being sold in the early 1990's, I do not know
about now. The CM2 was inferior to the original Vostoks due
to the fact it was mass produced for the open market as a
entry level small bore target rifle. I believe the purchase
price for a new one in the late 1980's was ?200 ($320)

They are certainly not rare, Price, well I paid around ?50
($80) (1984) for my Model 3 and that came complete with
al;l the accessories as well as all the 3 positional parts.

To pay any more nowdays for a second hand CM2 would be
robbery. You also need to test shoot (grouping from a
static test bed at 50 yds - NOT SHOOTING IT YOURSELF)any
target rifle before purchasing, any spread larger than 15mm
by 15mm after 10 shots from 50 yds don't buy! (my rifle
tested at 10 shots from 50yds with a 9mm by 11mm spread).

Use various batches or different types of Ammunition to see
what ammunition the rifle likes (.22 LR Tenex/Tenex Xtra by
Eley is what I used)

I bought my Toz 12 with heavy barrel and quite good target aperture sights from Shooters Choice for $50 about a month ago.

I see Epps has one for just under $200.

And you can buy a sporter style Toz78 for $100 new.
 
Thank you Trevor 60 and Slash for the info on price. Registration says nothing about model. On the firearm it says T03-8m serial H1461.I paied 120.00 bucks for it; i think i got F.K.D . I have taken guns a part before; i,m not a gunsmith.This may sound stupid. To remove the barrel from the stock i removed the screw in the lower receiver/ like others. Something holds the rear part of the mechanism to the stock.This is where the bolt would slide out.Should i pry it up? CONFUSED & EMBARESSED

On mine, there was a wood screw in the rear of the action that goes down into the stock. The head of the screw is hidden by the bolt - you need to remove the bolt first.
