Hi All,

I see quite a few posts about the ZKK 601's in the forums here so I thought I would share mine. Back in 97 when they finally paid out the compenstion for takign our pistols away on Christmas eve I was in the local gunshop moanign that I could not fins a Std Brno 601 in .308 Win. I ahd been lookign and phonign about and of course it was all the new all singing & dancing 550 they had in stock. My local shop normally had a couple of the racks but there were none to see.

Well on hearing this John behind the counter says:-

"Why didn't you say I have several upstairs still in their boxes"

Now I have no idea why I didn't ask when I didn't see any out ....................... but I didn't

anyway off he goes upstairs and comes back with a box and opens it in front of me and as the rifle clears the box I just said .......... " MINE" the stock has tiger striping all down it.

Anyway I brought some rings for it, Hilvers, and a new 6x42 scope but before shooting it I took out the sett trigger and fitted the standard curved blade. A little while later I did a little customising first was to make a barrel band for the front sling loop as the standard one was right where may hand wanted to be. I made it out of a scrap SA80 gas block and after annealing it carefull peened it around the barrel to I didn't need to remove the foresight.

As I don't like the plasticy finishes used by the factories so I stripped it off and carefully re-shaped around the loading/ejection port which is visable in that last photo. Then at a Bisley Arms fair I picked up the Zeiss Jena ZF4/N scope and it's mount for teh ZKK 601:-

Oh and it shoots quite well too:-

Although that was only shot at 75M (82 yards) as that is the distance of our club range here. I moved from down south some 5 years ago now as before I shot a lot on the Bisley ranges but now they are too far to make a day of it.
