Hello, I am from Chilean Patagonia, I have a 22 toz rifle, it is so good that yesterday I hunted a bird at 106 meters without a telescopic sight, every day it surprises me more, it must be that because of the cold the rifle still believes that it is in Russia and that's why it works too, hahaha greetings very good video

I’ve always enjoyed your show! Don’t change how y’all make videos.. ramble all you like

No worries, Mike. We know it’s about guns! 😉

Well greetings from one of those Counties that make it difficult to own a firearm of any kind..

Thank you for your videos,and Thank You for remembering Canadian Thanksgiving !

Another excellent video , Thank you.

Loved this video especially, because you featured a long standing favourite of mine. . The toz .22lr, I believe maybe its model 17 or 19. My first powder charged rifle was this, in single shot, and boy did I learn to shoot with it. They are superbly accurate, more reliable and accurate than any more "modern or upper class" .22lr I have ever shot. I own 2, and will happily add more to my collection. My single shot and 6 shot cost my father 70 and 75 dollars respectively I believe. (New zealand dollars) Talk about bang for your buck.

just a quick note to say that you have a great KZread channel, always informative & you have great taste in firearms !

The .22 looks like an early Model TOZ 17 before they had a dovetail put in the receiver. Model 16 was the single shot . I believe they come from the factory with floated barrels . They are pretty common in NZ , they were they budget rifle in their day before china was invented . A good one still commands a reasonable price on the second hand market. Its not unusual to go through 500-1000 rounds in a days hunting and a toz will do that with out a clean.

That first .22 rifle looks like the live child between a 91/30 Mosin and a Brno ZKE-2M

The older TOZ 5 round rifle you have is TOЗ -18. Single shot rifle of the same series is ТОЗ -16. They are based on a famous ТОЗ -8M model, but with some modifications. Most notable is Mosin like pull and twist safety. Both models were produced from 1953 till 1965. All of the ТОЗ line of rifles were produced with the match grade chambers, to insure extreme accuracy. Semiautomatic rifle is model ТОЗ- 99.

Fun vid. I lived in the former SSR for years and went hunting with an IZH 27, found them for sale at home, bought one, and it’s the perfect grouse/woodcock gun.

Over here (NZ) we refer to them as Toz 17's, but there may be a no. difference between the single-shot and repeater, as someone mentioned 19. I've owned both, still have a single-shot (1972) with original sling and pull-through. Their legendary accuracy may be due to the chrome-bore which I've never noticed on other .22's. Keep up the 'rambling' , better than all the 'slick' U-Tubers out there

My small gun stores just seem to have mostly Glocks and carbon copy variants of them that they think people want to purchase. The beautiful, quirky guns are few and far between.

@vf19blue

Жыл бұрын

I had one here in Australia. It came with four magazines! Very accurate and incredibly light. My 452 got very envious though and the little Toz had to go 😑

I have one of those over under shotguns to use up on the ranch. It has had more than 5000 shells run through it at least, and it still tight against the face. I like the weight of it.

On the Toz 34 they might describe those arcs the action pivots on as barrel mounted trunnions. I'd imagine they're hardened and also ride in hardened grooves. A friend has the same Toz bolt action 22 as you and I always thought that extra steel near the muzzle acted as a barrel weight and vibration dampener like match rifles. I figured that based on how accurate his is too.

Keep rambling, it's what makes your videos great. Lots of good info. in those ramblings.

Hi Mike. The only Russian guns I have experience with is Shotguns, namely the Baikal . I used to shoot a Baikal 12 Bore O&U. It was a superbly well made gun, it was my friends and he told me that if it had the name Webley or Winchester on it, it would be double the price. It was very well made and was my favourite shotgun for sporting clays. Alas, in the UK we are one of those country`s that has very restrictive legislation, when it comes to firearms.

They will turn friends and neighbors into rats too. Eventually it will become so stressful to secretly keep one that people will give up their guns or destroy them.

Own three Baikal shotguns. Two over/under in 12 and 20 and a side by side 12. They are great shotguns. Just under $300 each. My nephew has an over/under in 20. Told him he should grab one in 12 also. He said “they’ll be around”. I never miss an opportunity to rub that line in!
