Stumbled onto an interesting purchase BRNO ZKK 602 .375 rifle

[JamesJ]

A couple weeks back I picked up an older BRNO ZKK 602 .375 rifle. I was going to flip it and make a bit on the gun. While researching the gun, I was very pleased to find it once belonged to the big bore guru and former editor of Guns and Ammo magazine, Jack Lott the father of the .458 LOTT. The gun was worked over by famed gunsmith Lon Paul as well. The last time the gun was sold publicly it went for $3,500, that was a few years ago. Not really sure what the value is now, but its a beautiful gun.

That's pretty cool. I guess Jack liked the winchester style safety too.

@matt85 , wanted to make sure you saw this. Figured you'd find it interestimg, even though the rifle itself is in a pea shooter caliber.

Very cool James! Congrats on the great find.

Uhm.... aren't you supposed to be doing something other than looking at AH right now???

Had to run into town for fuel. But heading back out now!

It has the factory pop-up peep. Nice option (which I believe CZ is bringing back).

If it was a 458 Lott, that'd be pretty cool (seeing how it was Jack's invention, of course). But, there certainly isn't anything wrong with a 375!!!

Nice James!

Great Find, Congratulations

It is a good looking rifle but it's very cool that it was owned by Lott himself!

Any idea if Lott actually hunted with the rifle?

Congratulations. Neat buy.

If you want to trade a newer CZ for that old BRNO, you might be able to take advantage of me.

Anything Lon Paul made usually commands a good price. Nice score!

He did actually hunt with this rifle, I'm toying with the idea of taking it to Africa for a buffalo.
