Thread: Do you own a Krico?

If you do I'd love to hear from you, I'll be writing an article about krico rifles. Trying to get my hands on a few is however is hard. If you're in the Auckland area and would be happy to meet me at a gun shop and don't mind your rifle being photographed drop me a line. I have a model 120 and love it, and I am constantly surprised by how many people haven't heard of Krico (they're missing out). Any help would be appreciated. Cheers

Luke

@craigc has a .22

Maybe Sarvo? I've had 3, and have nothing but great things to say about them. Unfortunately I only have the one now. Thinking hard, the only complaint I could make would be that the .22 didn't like gooey waxy Winchester ammo. I love BRNOs too, I can't imagine anyone being unsatisfied with one especially as a bunny buster.

I've got a model 2 Brno and it's a crap shooter. I've bought packets of every type of ammo and while Winchester subs are the best it won't group well. 40mtr is about max for accuracy. Nice rifle just not accurate. Would sell it but not sure that I can when it's so bad.

I bought a Krico .22LR 10-15 years ago - and to be frank - I persisted with it and it was just nothing like my Brno that replaced it.
I now have replaced the Brno with a Browning Gold Medallion from a FM on here and it moved up the ladder many runs on the Brno.

I had heard many great reports on Krico - but my exp was not a good one
Maybe it was a Monday assembly ??

Thank Tahr, I'll drop him a line

Craig's had to have a small adaption because of some sort of problem with the bolt.

I worked on a dairy Farm when 1st left school in 75 - think the year they brought in daylight saving the buggers
My boss raved about Krico so I always wanted one
But honestly - mine must of been a Monday job.

Krinkov?

Beautiful, but no.

These are the better ones I have. I was bought up using Krico. Still to this day the most accurate rimfires I have used. Wrong end of the country though sorry.

FYI from top to bottom,
1.0 Model 600
2.0 Model 700
3.0 Model 600
4.0 Model 600
5.0 Model 400 This rifle has the Pfaff action. Copied from another site. Krico ( Kriegeskorte and company) built a copy of the Brno ZKW from 1956 to 1963. the first gun had a SN 100001

These copy rifles originally had an investment casting action built by the Pfaff sewing machine company. The action then changed to a milled action from serial number 103442

One of my greatest regrets was, many years ago, selling my Anschutz 1574 in 222Rem. It used the 600 action.
Depending where you read, Anschutz used the 600 action and then barreled and stocked, Anschutz sourced the barreled action from Krico and then stocked. Whatever, my example was superbly accurate.

Husquvarna also used the Krico 600 action.

A mate had a 308 Anschutz also made by Krico.

Yes correct, Krico made complete rifles for Anschutz as well as actions. Also they supplied actions for some Savage and Beretta. Tradewind was the USA Krico. A lot of centre fire Anschutz are actually Krico. This is my own opinion...but I suspect some Voere are also using Krico actions as I have seen some very similar....I do not know if this is correct though
