Is there any practical and cost effective method to import used firearms from Canada?

Sorry no. Tradeexcanada does not ship to the US. Just looked at a nice 9.3x57, missing the front sight (about 20 min. of work) listed for $265.00. Pretty good price for a great guide rifle and all round hunting rifle. Mine gets 2,300fps with 270gr. Speers and 1 1/2MOA accuracy.

I bought my Engraved Brno ZKK 602 in 375 from the owner of Tradex. But I'm not familiar with the ZG-47. Would it be as good of a starting rifle for a custom project as say a Brno ZKK 601 or 602? Could it handle a magnum cartridge such as the 404 Jeffery? Or would to much material need to be removed? I'm not saying I want to do that, just wondering if I should pick a few of these up, as there reasonably priced.

ZG-47's are BRNO M98's by the look of them.

404's require metal removal - I wouldn't do it or have it done, but some smiths might. Hard to say in the modern world of Civil Litigation. Another 602 would be perfect for a nice .404.

I was looking at a CZ 550 Safari Classic, its almost like my Brno ZKK 602, almost, but by the time I get a SC (safaric classic) in 404 or 505 Gibbs, it would be a $3500 touch (with bedding ect) or I could pick up another 602 for $700 have a nice gun built for around $4000...decisions decisions..

Zg-47 is a wonderful platform for many calibers, but I would stick to the 602 for any of the longer calibers. With a 602 you can do just about anything you wish. Some people dont like the safety on the 602 being backwards - I never have worried about it - I dont use a safety anyhow.
I have a 30-378 Weatherby built on a 602 action and the thing is a great shooter, never jams, right weight, and very strong with a great scope attachment system.

I've shot a .505 Barnes Supreme on a ZKK602. Needless to say, a 600gr. at about 2,800fps kicks a bit(much more than I'll shoot today - "with age comes wisdom". I think his load was 125gr. IMR3031 with the Barnes 600gr., compared to a .460 WTB's 125gr. H4895 with 500gr.

Sufice to say, the 602's action is a wonderful base for a custom rifle. Anyone who can't get used to the safety needs to shoot the rifle more.
