Daryl,

Because of the low round count and condition, I had thought about leaving it be. But I want a 404 and my other Brno is just to nice to change as well. My '85 has factory engraving, and the fancier factory stock on it. I've never shot a rifle with this type of peep sight, (or set trigger) so I'll take it to the range when the weathers nice, and give it a go, if its a shooter, I may just have to have a custom stock done up for it and leave it as is. I have a ZKK 600 coming now with peep sights, but I don't think there actions are big enough to do a 404 on (Action sizes elude me). Decisions decisions....

A friend of mine that I met over in another gun forum told me this:

ZKK600 (Standard Action) 30-06, 270W, 7x64, 9.3x62
7x57, 8x57S 8x64.8 and 10.75x68 - Most common rifle.

ZKK601 (Short Action) 222R, 222R Mag, 223R, 243W, 308W, 300Savage, 35R, 220 Swift and 257 Roberts - Rarest rifle.

ZKK602 (Magnum Action) 375 H&H

I've heard of some special orders......other calibers I've seen....458W, 404 Jeffery and 416 Rigby. Anything else would be custom built...I've worked on a 458 Lott and a 505 Gibbs. Seen a few 550 Gibbs advertised

He's my source for Brno info, that's why I acquired a ZKK 602 for the conversion. I would LOVE a ZKK 601 in 257 Roberts, but I've never seen one, I ask at every gun shop I visit, and nobody's ever seen one, there either not available in Canada, or those who have them are taking them to the grave.
