Hi all:

This just arrived from Wideners, I am very happy with it. I heard about these a few weeks ago and by the time I placed my order, I was concerned that they would be sold out. I think my order was one of the last ones as they were sold out an hour after mine went through. Not bad for $169.00, thanks Wideners! I have been wanting a nice, simple, easy to use single shot .22 for teaching new shooters and this fills the bill nicely.

Very nice, she looks hardly used.

Wow, that's a sweet rimfire. What's the story on these? How old are they, because this looks brand new.

Ok I just checked and I see these were trainers from around the 50's? Greasemonkey posted one of these last year.

Yes, this is a 1950. Wideners had them for just a day or two, then they sold out. I have been looking for a well crafted single shot .22 and when these came up. I pounced. Not bad for $169.00, huh?

Very Nice, Congrats on getting what you wanted

Very nice That one has a fairly light stock, mine has a very dark wood. They are accurate and fun to shoot, my daughters love mine and will burn through some ammo if I don't keep a very close eye on them. Also, I had no idea they cost that much now, they are still worth it in my book

There was a group of us over on Calguns that all ordered these and the variations on the stock color and patterns were pretty interesting. A few got lucky and ended up with Tiger striped wood and I saw a few that were pretty dark, but it seems as if all of them were in pretty nice shape.

Excellent purchase

My M44 Russian came from Wideners and I was very pleased.

Presently fitting out my new 455 FS 22LR/17HMR w/ a scope; just received the CZ rings so the Mueller Scope is next on the list.

This gun collecting could get into some serious $$$, if one wasn't careful.

That is a very nice looking rifle

Great looking .22

That is very nice , congrats! I wish I would have known about these as I just picked up a new CZ 452 Military Trainer and can't wait to get it out to the range.

Thought I would update with a new image I took yesterday under four flashes. The wood is actually a bit less orange than in my original pictures, I would say this image is more like that the wood looks like in person. Have put a few hundred rounds through this since my original post. Great gun, I wish Wideners would get some more of these but they have not since I bought mine in 2013.

I really like these Czech .22s. I picked up a BRNO#1 last spring. It has been great. viewtopic.php?f=8&t=20349&hilit=+brno
