BRNO 602 .375 H&H ACQUISITION
15/10/10 06:25 PM

I purchased my first Brno 602 in .375 H&H at a recent Melbourne auction. This rifle appears to be in good overall condition from the look of it but a couple of the “Variations” from the previous owner has got me a little stumped.

But it seems that when the barrel was cut down to 22” the original front barrel band was removed and re-installed as there is a distinct “Line” around the muzzle and at the rear of the base as if the barrel was machined to fit.

There is also a “Spring Loaded” button on the front sight, it’s reason is unknown to me unless it is to remove the actual bead.

The rear sight seem quite different to the CZ550’s with a fixed and 3 folding leafs and is just one standing with no folding which does not seem logical when the length of the base is considered. (would a CZ550 rear sight fit ??)

The action on the other hand has all of the Brno markings crisp and clear, the bolt has at some stage had some pitting but the overall condition seems reasonable considering it was manufactured in 1984.

If any-one has owned or seen this rifle before it’s history would be appreciated along with any input good or bad as to the sight problems. I do not want to go berserk upgrading to much as I am in the final stages of 2 Custom CZ550’s as most of you would know but some minor cosmetic changes might be contemplated.

I thank you for any information or help that may be provided by the forum members.

Cheers for now,

Jeff Gray
