    I owned a Brno ZKK 601 in .243 for a decade or so.

    Sold it in the mid 90's during a moment of insanity. This would be the only Rifle I have ever regretted parting with.

    I used this rifle exclusivley for Goats and Deer and it never failed to do what I asked of it.

    Looking back through my reloading records I came across a pet load for this Rifle.

    AR2209/ Hornady 87gr SPBT/ 2900fps MV......

    This load in this Rifle would knock a gnats knackers off while on the wing at 200m all day long with a huffing & puffing shakey old blind bugger yanking on the trigger while standing on slippery uneven ground facing into needle piercing driving rain with a howling cross wind buffeting the shit out of everything.

    Thats why the mighty .243 Is Today, Has Always Been and Will Remain Forever "The Go To Calibre" when a man wants a job done in this world today.

    You'll eventually learn and grow to accept this reality as you go through life Jake.
