The History of Brno

The history of the Brno company or Czechoslovak Armory (Československá zbrojovka) as it was known prior to WWI, began in the city of Brno in the Czech Republic, formerly known as Czechoslovakia. In 1918, the Brno Rifles factory was established. Before 1918, Brno Plant was an arsenal located in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Brno started producing Mauser 98 rifles in 1920 after buying excess weapons and equipment from Mauser-Oberndorf. These Brno-produced Mausers had a 98/22 designation stamped onto the receivers marking the year of production.

In the period between WWI and WWII, Brno collaborated with the Royal Small Arms Factory in Enfield, England to develop a well-known Bren light machine gun. They produced weapons for the Czechoslovakian and German armies during World War II. After the war, the company was nationalized by the Czechoslovakian government and renamed Zbrojovka Brno. While it was under socialist control until 1989, it switched to the production of sporting weapons which quickly gained a reputation for their reliability. For some time, the company also produced light artillery and several other products such as tractors, typewriters, and early computers.

During the years they presented numerous models of weaponry such as the ZB vz. 26 light machine gun, ZB-50 heavy machine gun, the MG34, several bolt action rifles, ZKM and ZH series, ZKR 551 handgun etc.

The company was privatized in 1990, just three years before Czechoslovakia split into the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Zbrojovka Brno was acquired by Česká zbrojovka (CZ) in 2008. With the new ownership, they agreed to a longer lease, which allows the business to continue production in rented facilities. They still make high-end products for hunting and competition, including pistols, single-shot and double rifles, combination rifles, as well as over/under shotguns.

Brno Combo Rifle Review

The Brno Combo rifle is a versatile and high-quality firearm that is well-suited for hunting and sports shooting. Developed between 2013 and 2014, it was introduced to the market in 2014 and is based on the previous 500 and 802 series of combination guns. The rifle features a thumb-operated two-position safety, as well as quarter-rib iron sights. It is opened and loaded by pushing the lever on the upper rear side of the action to the right.

One of the standout features of the Brno Combo is its dual-barrel design. The upper barrel is used for shotgun gauges, while the lower one is used for rifle cartridges. This allows the shooter to easily switch between the two barrel options depending on the situation and the game they are hunting. The rifle also features an ammo case extractor, which makes it easy to quickly and efficiently reload the rifle in the field.

The trigger mechanism on the Brno Combo is also noteworthy. It is equipped with two triggers, with the front one for the rifle barrel and the rear one for the shotgun barrel. The trigger on the rifle barrel is an adjustable set trigger that is activated by pushing it forward. This allows for increased precision and accuracy when using the rifle for shooting. The two-position safety is positioned on the action tang.

In terms of durability and reliability, the Brno Combo rifle is top-notch. The free-floating barrels are made of high-quality steel, ensuring that they will last for many years and withstand heavy use in the field. Additionally, the rifle features a 12 mm dovetail rail on the top of the receiver, which is suitable for scope mounts. This allows for increased accuracy and precision when using the rifle for hunting or shooting.

Overall, the Brno Combo is a well-designed and high-quality rifle that is sure to impress and perform well in the field.

Best Scope Mounts for Brno Combo

Fixed Scope Mounts for Brno Combo

Kozap Slip-on one-piece mount is perfect for break-barrel rifles. It is simple to install, reliable, and recoil resistant. This, combined with an affordable price, makes it one of the most suitable fixed-scope mounting solutions for Brno Combo.

Detachable Repeatable Mounts for Brno Combo

When it comes to flexibility, detachable repeatable scope mounts are the way to go. Being able to easily attach and detach an optic without any tools and retaining zero at the same time can be a great advantage – an advantage that some are prepared to pay a little bit more for since repeatable scope mounts can come at a bit heftier price compared to their fixed counterparts. If this is what you’re looking for, you might want to consider this aluminum INNOmount scope mounting solution of German quality for your Brno Combo.
