Re: Question on BRNO ZKK 600 details

BTW George originally posted it had been converted to a .358 Norma Magnum, not the smaller .308 NM, so I still reckon the original .270 Win barrel profile would be pretty thin at the muzzle if rebored to .358!




Don't worry! Like most European rifle factories, Brno used the same outside barrel profile on all their production rifles of a given model, regardless of caliber. This eases production, as the same stocks, sling swivel rings and frontsight bases may be used on all. So a ZKK 600 in 9.3x62 has the same outside dimensions as the same model in .270. Result: The .270 with it's smaller bore is heavier than a 9.3x62! This is especially marked in the 602, when a .300 WinMag came nearly a pound heavier than the same model in .458 Win Mag! FI on my 602 in .458 the barrel wall thickness at the muzzle is only about 2.6mm.
