The old Sakos make their modern models look like rubbish. Also my favourite was pre 1964 M70. Superb bedding system.

Can you just imagine what John Browning could do today with modern metallurgy, modern machining and his way of manipulating mechanics?

If anyone is curious about 788's in 30-30 and 44 mag, I'm the process of bringing these two gems I've found back to life. On my channel

The best action I have ever seen is the Mauser Mark X. I had one years ago. I now have an older Tikka, it is good and strong. One thing about the Tikka, of hunting in freezing rain, it will not eject the shell.

Accountants running companies it's all about the money profit margins. Products made down to a price, not quality

I have wanted this savage 99 most of my life and finally found a 1967 99E in great looking condition.Purchased from a local gun dealer. After bring it home and attempting to load the firearm I found it unwilling to hold the ammunition ,it kept pushing it back out.Is this a common problem?Is this something I will have to take to a gunsmith or maybe I could fix?

A remarkably attractive rifle. Utilitarian in appearance but very sleek and the proportions are perfect. The AK's safety lever is remarkably similar to the Model 8's. Regarding your comment on "supreme efficiency" and hunting with god-knows-what - made me think of punt guns. Commonly used in Europe as well as the USA, usually by ordinary folks to put food on the table, although European aristocrats sometimes hunted with punt guns for sport, too. Holland & Holland made punt guns, to their usual high standard of fit and finish. Imagine the expense...

And since buying the gun I spent almost on ammo and reloading dies for it!!!!

Looks much more refined than the Savage 24V.

I have had my 742 30-06 over 50 years and the only problem was when I shot other than Remington shells in it, the fingers that pulled the hot shell out of the chamber wouldn't grab the softer brass.

9,3x57 was never a military round, so those rifles coming over are all civilian guns. They're not really that popular over here anymore.

There are some seriously badass gunsmiths in Brazil there’s a video of an old man making a fully functional shotgun from car parts

How about a nylon 10?

The good citizens of Europe who believe in 2nd Amendment rights, don’t have a 2nd Amendment. So, instead of having their arms completely destroyed, they’re allowing them to be cherished afield.

I’ve seen exactly one Savage .22 Hi-Power in my life. It was a Savage M99, held in the hands of a sales-floor mannequin at BassPro in Manteca California. It’s a shame your gun wasn’t chambered in a less obscure cartridge like a 25-35. Nevertheless, if the price was right, I’d be delighted to own it. Good to see a shooting channel that features classic hunting rifles instead of one more variation of the countless varieties of AR15s. The Czech’s are such imaginative innovators and fine craftsmen that fine gun making must be part of their DNA.

I have an AV in 3006 that my step dad bought new in 1984. I had a Tikka Whitetail in 300 Win. They are very nice.

Excellent choices

2:50 thats the gun ive inherited as the third generation. cursed as a mf cant get a single deer in 40 years.

Just wondering... Why is it US in the channel name? You have the most Canadian accent I've ever heard, haha

I like both except the triggers, the a bolt had the better one. I actually own both in medallion.

I just got the Henry 22 Mag Octogonal barrel version of this. Even before watching this video's content, I know Henry is higher quality than Rossi.

Thank you for the video Mike. Wonderful presentation, as usual. I passed on a beautiful Thompson Center break open rifle in .270 and should still have the bruises from kicking myself. Beautiful rifle. All the best.

Have a 35 Whelen in a rebored win 70 featherweight 30-06 and a otto bock 9.3x62. Great calibers

Love my CZs and BRNO - great firearms. Hopefully they don't dumb them down and cheapen them like some American manufacturers have with crap wood, poor fit and finish, sticky operation.

I always find your posts interesting and informative. I've never felt to switch to an AR-Plartform. I'm too much involve with the Mausers, especially the Interarms in a .270, just a tackdriver, using a Leupold Scope. I did have a barrel made for it in Oregon at 26.5" a little heavier than a sporter barrel. And another stock by Robert's high cheek comb, rollover. Just a beautiful rifle even though it cost 2k.😊

If it's possible to put an adjustable aperture rear sight on this puppy, it would be a do everything gun, out to 150 yards or so. I wonder how the shotgun barrel is choked.

I have a marlin mdl 1936 in carbine version.... I Love It

Greetings from Slovakia. These go for dirt cheap here. It's an outdated Model also The 100 series 104s and 124s etc. Basically every Hunter and family in czechoslovakia has had one. I have a 7x57r +16ga best for driven hunts. The export models were better made than home sold. Main cons are the heating up of the soldering and basically moving the zero of the rifle barrel after 2-3 shots 😊. One more tip btw you can shoot the rifle barrel also by second pull od the rear shotgun trigger. So basically shotgun barrel rifle barrel second.

i have had a SAKO 7mm rem mag since 1980 , that thing shoots any bullet great , ive have owned Brownings Winchester , Rems , ETC , none are the Rifle that this Sako is , Top QUALITY LAZER 25.5 inch barrel

I agree with you that they just don't make weapons like what they used to make, it's all about COST!!! The cost of the materials and of course LABOR has made manufacturers to find more cost effective means of manufacturing weapons!!! They may work but for how long when you use not the BEST which is the most expensive and with less attention to detail because of labor cost have gone BALLISTIC (PUN INTENDED)!!!! I've have a few older rifles and pistols, and I PREFER the older ones over the newer ones !!!! ESPECIALLY when it comes to 22lrs!!! Which I LOVE and have the most of and shoot more often considering the cost of AMMUNITION NOW!!!! THANK YOU SIR FOR ALL YOUR GREAT VIDEOS!!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!😊😊😊

That poor gun…😢

I have a Brno , log heavy and BULL FOR STOUT! I love it.

Thanks!

Is the A bolt a better buy than a savage axis?

Buy soviet made (USSR) Baikal, between years of 1960-1986. I have IJ27E & IJ58M. My frend have IJ18 and it was made 60's. Cheap, light, trustful and easy clean - not even daily and/or every time when you use it. Just dry, and pull barrels with the boresnake if you shot. Near sea waters corrupted every gun and have to clean and oil every time.Those guns have nickel, and hard crome inside the barrels, silver solders between the pipes, and "old style" black finishing.

Some additional information on operating those BRNO ZH guns, because you didn't mention it in the video: - The front trigger can also be used as a set trigger, just push it forward and you get a very light trigger pull. - The rear trigger is a double trigger, if you shoot the lower barrel first and pull the rear trigger a second time it fires the top barrel. And they are quite heavy compared to other combination guns. I have one of those in 7x57R/16ga and an additional pair of 16ga shotgun barrels and I use them as beater guns for hunting. Combination guns lost rapidely in popularity here in Germany since supressors were legalized for hunters. That's why a lot of cheaper combination guns get exported to the US where they can be sold at a higher price.

Great video as always! I have a ZH304, a newer model but basically the same gun. Great guns and very popular among hunters in my country. They are very solid built guns but the have one weakness - barrels are not chrome lined and they needs to be thoroughly cleaned and oiled after shooting. P.S. Rear trigger fire BOTH barrels, first the bottom and the the top one (like classic OU shotguns).. There was also an option to buy set trigger for this rifle but they are very rare these days and hard to come by.

Good morning from Austria I own some CZ Brno over the Time and all of them had a i will call it a settrigger for the Topbarrel,just push the forward trigger forward a you are good to go. But i think you know this already. And sorry for my englisch. Greetings from Austria

Brno (CZ) a class of its own.

CORDITE 55 - 440 max is it a nitro express or black powder proof barrel

The 742, 740, 7400 semi’s and the pumps were the most common rifles you saw in Ontario in the 70’s-90’s with few issues.

great firearm. I have 2 of these, both with 7mm mauser/ 12 ga combos

Thank you for amazing content! I live in Greenland and I am from Canada. Gun culture here is insane, you can buy a rifle in a GROCERY STORE and you don’t even get them registered (unless it’s a semi-auto which requires a special license) it’s funny that the rifles hang on the wall they are not even locked on the wall you can take it off the wall and look at it and craziest thing is that all the ammo is on shelves right beside the guns (the guns have bolts in them) and you can put ammo in your shopping cart. Just thought I’d share. Have a good one😁

Thank you Mike.

The best bolt action was the Lee Enfield

Totally agree, there's a Sauer 90 on your desk - my favourite rifle model! I own 4 of them!

I bought a 760 in .35 Remington when I was 18, I’m 74 now and still own it.

Second trigger fires both barrels, shotgun than rifle.

I'm just happy you say Lee-ver like me :)

thank you
