I have never met a BRNO 600/601 that didn't have some kind of feeding issue to a greater or lessor extent, from not feeding at all, to having a little hitch. I may have been unlucky but I have owned and used a few of them. I have nothing against them other than this, but will no longer buy one unless I can meet it in person.
The Husqvarna 1600's are a better made rifle, and I would buy another one in a heartbeat. I have had a couple and a mate of mine five or six. A Husky 1600 in a beech stock is a lightweight rifle, (definitely lighter than any Brno) but a .30/06 won't hurt you. (So saying, a 220 grain bullet at 2400 fps out of any kind of .30/06 off a bench will get your attention.)
You could be happy with either. Remember that you need specific rings to fit a Brno dovetail. The Husky will probably come with weavers on it already and you can do what you like.
