What plans do you have for her ?

Edit: There are some interesting arms on there. I don't have a BP rifle .... Mmmmm

Plan 1.Fit cross bolts and use it.

Plan 2.Rechamber to 450 AI or 458 Lott after plan 1.

Plan 3.Fit cross bolts,shorten barrel,fit barrel band sling swivel, fit new recoil pad and slim down timber.

Plan 4. Turn into a 500 Jeffery and cut loose !

I will use it for awhile as I have never even fired a 458 I dont think.

Yes, should be a 5 round mag but will probably hold 6 anyway.

The Brnos had a better quality of timber/bedding than the later CZs and probably won't need the cross bolts, but I guess it wouldn't hurt to add them. Hopefully it doesn't have the jamming issues (for those rounds that come out of the LHS of the magazine) - I believe that even in the Brno days you'd have a 50/50 chance of getting one that didn't jam (in 458 only).

You probably also have the flip-up peep in the rear of the action.

You'll probably also want to change the recoil pad - those hard rubber ones don't compare to the modern versions.

I had one of those in 375H&H many years ago and it shot MOA consistantly straight out of the box, but I guess this is not a requirement for a 458 which is not intended for any long range hunting.

Well done on the price. When I was looking around to buy my 458 (I wanted a Brno) they were few and far between and didn't stay on the market for long. This was about a year ago and prices ranged from $900-$1,200 bare rifle. I saw one at $900 but it was non-standard and a bit worn (cosmetically) here and there. A second-hand CZ came up at that time and I got that instead.

No pop up peep on this one.(wish it did)

I will get the feeding fixed if needed.

Thanks for the interest fella's.

I just had to post a photo of the timber on my old Brno 602 375:



Why did I ever sell this one?

---

That is a great piece of timber.

Brno are not known for "nice timber"

You got yourself a "project" by the sound of it.
Can you fix it with a cross bolt and bedding ?.

---

Yeah, in more ways than one... the checkering needs to be recut too
I also discovered when removing the old poorly fitted recoil pad that some clown has drilled two 5/8" lightening holes into the butt... no wonder it had a little too much forward balance, I put it down to the 24" barrel.

I've got a few of the Talley cross bolts which will fit fine, the rifle has been bedded (incorrectly) then tweaked some previous owner to remove bedding material from the front, sides and bottom where it was bearing on the action recoil lug.

While that was the right thing to do to correct the bedding and leave only the rear of the action recoil lug and the forward glass bed surface in contact, it seems to have created a 'stress riser' and cracked from one corner where the bedding was removed across the stock reinforce.

If I dig out all the old bedding, lever the crack apart and use high strength marine grade wood glue slid in via a cheap feeler gauge, then screw in the new cross bolt it should all tie together OK.

Then rebed the whole lot correctly using Devcon

I'm sure you will sort it.

So are two cross bolts the norm or one ok ?.

Hello Neale,

congratulation for your rifle!
I would strongly recommend to change the Brno safety to a 3-position safety type Win 70.

My rifle has feeding problems with all sort of bullets which are not round-nose shaped.
(magnum length action and the short .458 Win. round do not work together very good)
Steve Zihn recommended to break all sharp edges of the chamber, maybe that helps.

best regards
Rolf

The "Lott" or the "450 AI" might help.

About the safety.
I am left handed so the standard safety is under my left thumb.
If you think of it like a "hammer" as in pull back to cock,it works well for me.

I now own 5 Brno's so I am used to the safety's good bad or indifferent.

Hope mine feeds !
