The Brno Model 2E remains a prized firearm for collectors and enthusiasts due to its reputation for outstanding accuracy, ease of handling, and classic aesthetics.  It has a rich history rooted in the tradition of Czech firearms craftsmanship. This bolt-action rimfire rifle is an evolution of the iconic Brno Model 2, which itself is part of a lineage of highly regarded small-caliber rifles produced by ?eská Zbrojovka (CZ), one of the world’s most respected firearm manufacturers.
Origins:

• Regular cleaning of the barrel, bolt, and trigger assembly is recommended to maintain accuracy and reliability.
• Use high-quality .22 LR ammunition for optimal performance.
• Brno Arms Factory: The Brno Model 2E was developed at the Brno arms factory in Czechoslovakia (now the Czech Republic). This factory was renowned for producing high-quality firearms that combined precision engineering with rugged reliability.
• Model 1 Foundation: The series began with the Brno Model 1, introduced in 1945. This rifle set a high standard for rimfire rifles, featuring a robust design and excellent accuracy. It was primarily intended for training and civilian use but was also favored by military forces for marksmanship training.
• Model 2 Introduction: In 1954, the Model 2 was introduced as an improved version of the Model 1. It featured refinements in the bolt mechanism, trigger, and magazine design, making it more reliable and easier to use.

Development of the Model 2E:

• Refinements in the 1970s: The Model 2E was an updated version of the Model 2, introduced during the 1970s. This version retained the basic design elements of its predecessor but incorporated improvements for better handling, durability, and accuracy. Key changes included:
  • Enhanced safety mechanism.
  • Improved trigger adjustability.
  • Slight modifications to the stock for a more ergonomic fit.
• Export Success: The Brno Model 2E became widely exported and gained a loyal following among hunters, sports shooters, and firearm enthusiasts worldwide. Its reputation for accuracy and durability made it especially popular in regions such as Europe, Australia, and Africa.
• Legacy and Successors:
• Transition to CZ Branding: In the 1990s, the Brno arms factory became part of  ?eská Zbrojovka (CZ). The CZ 452 and later models, like the CZ 455 and CZ 457, are direct descendants of the Brno Model 2E. These newer models carry forward the same principles of precision and reliability but with modern manufacturing techniques and materials.
• Enduring Popularity: Despite the availability of newer models, the Brno Model 2E remains a sought-after rifle due to its classic design, proven accuracy, and historical significance. Collectors and shooters alike value its craftsmanship and performance.
• Historical Impact: The Brno Model 2-E represents the pinnacle of mid-20th-century firearm engineering, combining the heritage of Czech firearms with timeless functionality. Its legacy lives on in the continued popularity of Brno and CZ rifles around the world.

Condition

Almost impossible to find one in this excellent condition. The 2E has a 24.8" barrel and great wood.  It has a hooded front sight, and the blade on the front sight has been removed to facilitate a scope.  The metal is in fine shape, and the barrel has been threaded and comes with a thread protector.  It comes with the appropriate rings with bases, and has sling rings and studs.  These are some of the most accurate 22 rifles made.
