I want to buy a s/h cz452 / brno mod 2 in the next couple of weeks .. Finances are tight so I don't want to pay loads .. Any points to look out for ?

What is your budget?

I have one listed for sale on the site.
Could always sell it without scope/rings & other accessories to get the sale price down.

We also have one for sale - few scratches on stock hence would be low price but excellent shooter - also have 4 spare mags....

PM me if you are interested.

Thanks for the messages, I used to be in the business of buying and selling motorcycles .. There is a point that if you pay to little you are buying a problem, is this the case with these rifles ? And if so what should I look to spend ?

The main moving part on most rifles, esp. with bolt actions is to keep an eye on the moving parts

As .22 rifles solely use lead bullets, the moving part (the bullet) will take several decades to show any significant wear on the barrel...IF at all
Back in the black powder/mercuric primer days, not quite the case as rusting/pitting was prevalent & I have seen many otherwise nice .22 rimfires that had barrels that you could plant vegetable in.

You should be able to pick up a very tidy example for about £200 - much better value than new & in many cases also tuned & with trigger kits fitted, etc.
Like anything else, it also depends on how keen the seller is to free up a slot, etc.
