What do you all know about these rifles? A friend of mine picked up one of these, an old Czech model, put a cheap $40 scope on it, boresighted the scope and took the thing to the range with him.
I took a look at it. There is absolutely no rattling or noise of any kind. When I put it to my shoulder it was actually one of the most comfortable firing rifles I ever fired. He picked this rifle up, along with the scope for about $160! I HATE scopes but was actually able to do quite well with this setup.
I have been told that these rifles were once commonly used by military snipers and are accurate to quite a distance. Based on trying his out and what I've been told so far I'm thinking about tracking one down myself. Can anyone shed some light on what I've been told so far?
