Brno 602zkk

[Byron Quick]

Are there any BRNO 602 actions one should avoid? I'm considering a BRNO 602ZKK in .458 Winchester.

Hello. My .375 H&H has that action. So far, no problems and it's been completely reliable.

Best.

I have 602 in .375 H&H for years. Never let me down. The only thing weird about ir is that safety works in oposite way. You have to press the utton backwards for "FIRE".

Are the 602ZKK's still being produced? I've run into one advertised as new in box.

Hello. I'm not sure that BRNO is still making that exact action, but the one sold on the CZ large magnum rifles appears the same except for the longer shroud. You can probably find the ZKK 602 around if you look. By the way, while I cannot remember the maker, I did have my rifle fitted with a Winchester-type 3-position safety such that it works the "right" way. IF I run across anyone selling these actions, I'll post it here.

Best.

Isn't this the action that Jeff Cooper used for his "Baby" ? It was a 460 G&A, and I remember his comment about the safety working backwards. George Hoenig did the work, and he wouldn't have put any time into the project if he wasn't confident with the action.

Hello. Yes, it is the same action used by the Col.

Best.
