After buying one a couple of months ago I got a call this afternoon about another ZKK600 30-06 that is up for sale at my local gunshop....apparantly in prestine condition....I will be there first thing tomorrow morning......
The other one will then be sacrifised to become a 7x64 Brenneke.....
 
Did they chamber one in the 7x64? Seems I recall seeing them

As stated for sure, here is the mag box out of the ZKK 600 270Win I used to build my .458Win on.

Be a another nice pick up for you, the 7X64 is a fine cartridge but Isn't it a little hard to find ammo for in SA, one of the guys I worked for had one & ended up shooting 280 Rem/7mm Express in his ?

Not sure if that is a good choice (shooting the 280 in the 7X64 not the 7X64) ?

7x64, one of my favorite rounds. My Mannlicher Schoenauer M72 shoots great.
 
7x64 is reasonably common down here, even PMP used to make ammo for them in the day.
Cases a' plenty and .284 is probably the 3rd or 4th most common bullet after .30 and .264.

.280 is scarce, unobtanium.

If I could find a left handed rifle in that caliber I would be all over it.

Shit maybe I got that the other way around then & he was shooting 7X64 in a 280, I don't remember the rifle or that would tell us ?
 
Oh well back from the gunshop and now am the owner of a second BRNO ZKK600 30-06. and yes it looks to be in unfired condition has both triggers as well as a barrel band with the classic straight stock....
 
I like your plan. and the BRNO 600-602's are classic guns.

LvW - not so long ago safari Outdoor in Boksburg had a nice Brno ZKK 600 in 9,3x64 , if I had known then that you like the ZKKs so much I would have let you know . I was tempted to buy it myself but as I already have a 9,3x64 I gave it a miss .
 
Hi LvW,

Very nice ZKK 600!! I have a ZKK 601 .308 Win made in 1977, still with the peep sight. Around 1978 BRNO quit to made the folding rear bridge peep sight but retained the barrel mounted front sling swivel for some more years.

Sir, I think I have been writing to you about the purchase of the HK 639 rifle under an email "Tt Jake." If this is you, then I am truly interested. I am just trying to verify identify. Tt Jake is asking for a cash transaction. No disrespect intended, Just trying to verify who I am talking to. Thank you. Respectfully. Dan

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
Finally back to somewhat normal I missed reading the messages and posts
Remember I will be at the ISE show in Denver Colorado for 8-12 January, and after the show I will be available for meetings anywhere in the USA I will traveling around to meet with old and new clients, let me know and we will set up a meeting!
Beautiful Aardwolf for our Spanish client and good friend Alberto
