Just a couple of teaser photos of my newest "Love of my life",
Brno 601 purchased from steve2141 a few months ago. Was 308win, now 7mm08 Rem, barrel is an Adams and Bennett, stock work by Missed, chambered and fitted by old mate from Wagga D.D.

Its a job in progress, still got to blue the barrel and the trigger needs a lot of work on it, very draggy, I think Ill get into the seer with a couple of diamond hones. Failing that, does anyone know of a replacement trigger system for the Brno 601 series rifles. I don't want to convert it back to the set trigger.

That's a nice looking bit of kit - shoots very well too. I can see why it is your new love.
I haven't seen that old style printer paper for many, many years - you like to hoard old stuff do you Camel?

I've also got a 601 (it was my grandfathers) although mine is a fast twist 22-250 with the set trigger and have often contemplated having it rebarelled to 7mm08.
That printer paper. I remember that from 1st grade and that was 30 years ago.

Very nice camel I've gotta admit I have a soft spot for 601/602's. Well done
All the best

Thanks John, in my opinion they make a great hunting rifle, was thinking of trying to find a 600 in 7x57, but got the 601 for a good price and couldn't knock it back. Its really all Keiths fault, he was selling a set of 7-08 dies a while ago and the temptation got too much for me.
