Re: BRNO 602 .375 H&H ACQUISITION

Rifle looks great the way it is - why change anything? The dings on the rear sight can be repaired (if you must) and cold blued to match well enough. It's a tool and a good one at that.

I don't mind the set trigger, either, but a crisp single is just as good.

My first BRNO ZKK602 was in .358 Norma and with it's smaller hole, was 11 1/2 pounds with the scope I had on it at the time. Great coyote rifle in Northern BC. Never got to shoot a moose with it, but did blast lots of coyotes, most with 280gr. Speers or Hornady's, can't remember which(1972) make they were - obsolete even at that time - (Hornady's I think). My rifle had the pop-up peep sight. Re-barreled with a ZKK602 .375 barrel in 1973 - headspaced perfectly, sights straight up and down. Sold the rifle - damn, in 1975 to guy who just had to have it - both barrels. He used it for deer on Vncouver Island with 270gr. Power Points, 70gr. IMR4064 - ragged hole at 100 yards for 5 shots. Eat right down to the 3/8" hole through both sides - really busted up black bears on the island- lengthwise instant kills with that bullet and load - wouldn't sell it back to me in '76. Sacked everything he shot with it, on the spot. A happy man. Sorry for the diatribe - get carried away at times.

What year is your rifle? - it's stamped on the barrel, left side.

Guy did a nice job on that stock.
