BRNO 601 action any good ?
I have a Brno 601 in .308 and was thinking about buildin a 22/250 AI with a 9" twist.
Is this action good for it or should I get another.

Highly regarded by many as a good action on which to build an expensive custom rifle . thumb


The hunting imperative was part of every man's soul; some denied or suppressed it, others diverted it into less blatantly violent avenues of expression, wielding clubs on the golf course or racquets on the court, substituting a little white ball for the prey of flesh and blood.

Better to use a Remington or Sako action if your going to build a custom 22/250 AI.

The BRNO action would be great for a custom rifle chambered in 7/08 or 358 Win.

I've owned three 601s, like them very much, should be a good length for the 22-250:

They are not ZG-47s or especially 21Hs, but, they can be made into pretty sound rifles. I would not choose one for an AI cartridge, the Rem. or Sako will be better for this due to feeding of AI rounds in CRF actions. It CAN be done, but, the cost of the necessary work is not worth it, to me, YMMV.

I would build a .338/08 "Federal" on this action, if I were you.
