Re: New to me 1968 Brno ZKK 602

Well, I bought my first Brno a while ago, it was a (from what I understand) Rare engraved model, Everyone told me I would be on my @$$ with a black eye the first time I shot it (I'm a small guy, 130lbs soaking wet). I took it out to the range, and I loved it, the recoil is just perfect for me. Its a heavy rifle mind you, but its pleasant to shoot. After that the one with peep sights came up for sale. I've wanted a custom for a while, and don't really like my Model 70's, so I put my 338 Federal Model 70 up for sale to fund the new Brno with peep sights, I purchased the Brno, but before I could sell the Model 70 338, a guy offered me the brand new Ruger #1 in trade for my Model 70, so instead of selling it to fund the second Brno, I traded and ended up with 3 375's! Oops. My wife however is very forgiving, and she doesn't mind at all, so I'll either convert the peep sight Brno, or keep it as is, time will tell.

I'm not sure about buying the CZ Safari classic yet, the bolt handle bugs me being curved back (nothing functional wise, but I know what I like) And I really like the Brno's, so I've got my Model 70 458 Lott up for trade for another Brno on another gunsite, if someone has a Brno in 458 or 416 there willing to trade up for, then I'll have all Brno's in my Bolt guns (and a 1908 Mauser)

Out with the Winchesters in with the Brno's!

Brno obsessed,

-Trev
