What have you killed with the 8x57?

I believe this one is the 22H. Carbine length barrel. 20.5"
The 21H is the 23.6 (600mm) barrel. But I agree, these Brno's are beautiful and slick. I'm a big fan of most Brno-CZ rifles.
Sorry I couldn’t see if it was the sporter or full length stock. I thought that the full length stocks were the Mod 22.

Please see the advertisement from that period.

I wonder how many 18 wheeler trucks would be required to carry all the game that the 8x57 has killed in Europe alone? I have several. They are under-rated in North America, as are many other metric calibers. Should have bought a full stocked 22F for $1800 about five years ago, but that would make 4 total 8mm rifles, plus I just didn't have the heart to drill and tap it.
My 8x57jr has taken whitetails at ranges of 30-250 yards. Sellier & Belloit ammo.
 
Last year I shot everything with the 8x57 and RWS Hit ammo. I didn't really like the ammo, but I did like the 8x57.

I shot 2 fallow bucks of good size in Slovenia and 3 roe bucks in Hungary.

I had 4 other hunts I went on where I didn't pull the trigger. Some roe deer hunts and wild boar hunts in Germany and a chamois hunt in Slovenia.

I just saw Budsgunshop.com has both the guide gun and the African for $1150. FWIW - I bought both and decided to use the Guide gun - I restocked it in a Bell and Carlson stock and I added the Alaska arms floor plate to add a round. I wanted the shorter barrel as I will use a suppressor. I wont go lower than $1100, but I will ship it and no sales tax.

Let me know if you are interested
