Does anyone know anything about ZBROJOVKA BRNO 98 mausers? I don’t think they are CZ (Ceska Zbrojovka) but I am not sure. I would like to know the quality of this firearm and the availability.

About 20 years ago I had a Ruger M77 RSI (International) in 308 Win. It printed 200 gr Barns bullet consistently at under 3MOA. Considering I was hunting Moose and the distances were well under 150 yards I considered it perfect. That kit sure worked.
Why the hell would I need a ½ MOA rifle...
..."Jungle Carbine" was popularised by the Santa Fe Arms Corporation in the mid to late 1950s, who imported and converted huge numbers of SMLE Mk III* and Lee-Enfield No. 4 rifles to civilian versions of the No. 5 Mk I, for the hunting and recreational shooting markets in the US. Prospective...
The Lee Enfield 303 British has accounted for more game around the world, up to and including Elephants, than any other cartridge and rifle. I remember hearing the 303 British killed more moose in Canada than all other cartridges combined and I don’t doubt it. Lee Enfields were manufactured...
Near perfect MG round and definition of AR
Assault rifle is a term describing a type of automatic rifle generally defined as a selective fire rifle or carbine, chambering intermediate-powered ammunition. (Wikipedia)

5.56 mm NATO vs. .223 Remington
In January 1979, the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute (SAAMI) advised that 5.56 x 45 mm military specification ammunition is generally not safe to fire in .223 Remington-chambered rifles (which are mainly civilian...
AR = Assault Rifle
“Assault rifles are primary offensive weapons of modern troops. Today's AR (Assault Rifles) usually have calibers ranging from 5.45mm to 7.62mm, magazine capacity of 20-30 or more rounds, selective full auto and single shot modes of fire, plus, in some models, 2 or 3 round...
This is not a complete check list, but may help
Expert I am not, cautious I am.
If I could not be absolutely certain of the quality and dimensions of the ammunition I secured (for an example I used to use a lot of 7.62 NATO ammunition supplied by the DCRA {Dominion of Canada Rifle...
I over reacted to your comment Father Knows Best. I'm used to being on some pretty aggressive forums, but that’s no excuse.
We do agree on things on this thread. I may not put them in terms easily understood.
I am looking at things from a purely ballistics point of view, internal, external...
This thread went from “why don’t we see many 308 ARs” to is it safe to use military 7.62 x 51 NATO ammunition in a commercial .308 Winchester chambered firearm to now whether is safe to use 5.56 x 45 NATO in a commercial arm chambered for .223Rem.
1. Assault Rifles, hence the term AR...
Chamber difference

Why?? Pressures may be too high using military ammo.
Let's say we have a brand new .308 Winchester rifle with a minimum headspace chamber. It measures at 1.630". We find a deal on some Mil-Surp 7.62x51mm NATO ammo &...
308 Win compability with 7.62 NATO
I think you really need to read what I said.
The chambering on an MG M60(some) & M240 has a slightly larger chambering (not bore) than the commercial 308 Winchester and is designed to operate at higher pressures (67,000 as opposed to 60,000 maximum for...
7.62 NATO ARs
The 7.62 X 51 NATO, as far as a boots on the ground infantry combat rifle, is an abject failure. The US demanded a 30 calibre round when most other NATO nations desired a smaller diameter round, ranging from .276 down to 6mm (.24). The NATO round and rifles chambered for it were...
7X64 Brenneke
If in Europe try the 7X64 Brenneke. Readily available there in many makes of rifles, has the ballistics similar to the 280 Remington, actually slightly more case volume, and has a good selection of ammo.
