BRNO 600 conversion

[ozarkrambler]

Hello all, new here, but seems like lots of practical wisdom and experience among folks. Im in the process of building a new rifle in 458 win and would like to build it on a Brno 600 action. Has anybody here ever done one of those conversions? Have been trying to get a good answer on magazine capacity but info is all over the place. Was hoping to get 4 +1 without going to the magnum 602 action.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Well actually I have done just that & put a .458 ZKK 602 barrel on a .270Win ZKK 600 action.

Unfortunately I’m still waiting to get my CZ550 9.3x62 factory stock (which is reinforced) from the US to finish it & I might dock the barrel back to 20-21in.

This stock.

5 rounds
The Brno ZKK-600 bolt action rifle has a magazine capacity of 5 rounds. This internal magazine is designed for single-shot operation, allowing for a total of five rounds to be fired before needing to be reloaded.

No that is no correct for a magnum cartridge in a ZKK 600 action, it was made for long standard cartridges all the magnums were were chambered in ZKK 602 actioned rifles.

I will check mine but I haven’t as yet modified the ZKK 600 magazine box, I’m thinking 3 cartridges will be more like it & you hardly ever need that many even when using good bullets in a .458 Win.

Is the 600 conversion going to be an issue? Should i just build on the 602 action? Or just switch completely to pre 64 winchester....this is the mental gymnastics im going through...

One of my main reasons for building on the Brno action is i like the pop up peep sight. I dont see the barrel mounted sight as good as I did 20 years ago. I haven't come across an alternative yet.

Id be interested in knowing what you find out Sarg on the mag capacity.
