Verdict
The CZ Bren 2 Ms is the civilian semi-automatic version of the CZ Bren 2 — the Czech Armed Forces' current standard service rifle, adopted in 2015 as the successor to the older CZ 805 Bren (Batch 13, next entry). Premium-tier Czech engineering at the $3,300–$4,300 CAD tier — the rifle Canadian sport shooters bought when they wanted European-grade quality outside the better-known FN SCAR or HK G36 families. SOR/2024-248 named the Bren 2 Ms on December 5, 2024 alongside the older CZ 805 Bren and the rest of CZ's civilian rifle catalogue. The Czech-manufacturer postmortem cluster on the Index continues: Bren 2 Ms (Batch 13), CZ 805 Bren (Batch 13), CZ Scorpion EVO 3 (Batch 8), CZ858/Vz58 (Batch 6), CZ91S, Czech Small Arms SA VZ61 Combat (Batch 8). Six Czech civilian-rifle platforms across the Index, all Already Gone.
