Currently, I have a new Brno ZKK 602 barreled action with express sights in 375 H&H I purchased approximately 15 years ago. Also, I have a desert camo McMillian stock for this rifle. I have a Sako Finnbear rechambered for the 375 Wea Mag and like the gun that I don't need two 375's. My plan is to have a 400 H&H project. My options are: 1. Have the rifle rebored and thus the sights are usable. 2. Rebarrel to a 400 H&H and have it sighted with a peep sight. 3. Sell the action and stock and obtain a Model 70 action and have Pac-Nor rebarrel it to the 400 H&H. I would appreciate your opinions and thoughts about this project. I am settled on the caliber as I have several boxes of .411 A-Frame Swift bullets in 350's & 400's as well as an ample supply of 375 H&H cases. I have been pondering this project for some time but have not decided on a direction yet. Honestly, what would you do and why?


Focus on the leading edge!

I would sell and buy a Win 70. While the 602 is a sturdy gun, it is not made for looking at, and its over all finnish is rather crude. It could all be slicked up, and a M70 safety installed, but It would still have the wrong stamping on the barrel etc.
Sell, buy a winnie and a new barrel with new open sights. A better product, and, a lot easyer to sell if needed.

JMHO:

If you buy or build anything with resale in mind, don't!
You have brass, bullets and the vehicle. Have a good smith profile your new 400H&H barrel blank to match this one (or a bit larget), get your dies ordered (do this first to make sure you will have some), and do keep us updated on how fast and accurately she shoots.

regards,

Rich
