I like the safeties in the same spot as the CZ's, but I prefer a push forward to fire. My ideal safety is a push forward safety in the middle of the grip, like on a Ruger no.1

Can you tell me more about this action? I have never heard of it?

Yea not going to lie, I was not expecting stripper clips to come up...

Which of the features do you like the most?

So what about those actions do you specifically like? The safety? Fit and finish? Trigger?

I would love to get an idea of what people consider not only the best CRF actions, but also, which features they consider the best. In a sense, if you could hybridize the best CRF action, what parts would it borrow from other Actions? For back story, I already have a few CRF rifles: -FN...

Oooof. Can only find a single used copy for sale. And the price is 600$

Interesting, I did not know that quickload had issues with straight walled cases. Thanks for the tip.

That is one of my issues though. I am not really chasing velocity, so much as the traditional 2150 that they used to get with cordite. But even when I use quickload with your lower recommendation of 103grs, it shows this load to be over pressure:

Good day All, I am having a Ruger No.1 falling block, converted to a 500 NE, and I am running into a lot of conflicting issues looking for loads. Namely: 1. There are not a lot of resources out there for this grand old caliber. 2. Some of the data I can find, is using powders I cannot find...

Oh man... So hard to choose 6.5x55 7mm Rem Mag 9.3x74r Runner up: 450/400 3"

I have a hunt booked in SA for this August. Hoping to take a zebra, kudu, and gems with this 9.3. I know they can take a buff, but I am saving that for a 500 NE single shot I am building up.

To be fair, this was the first box of ammo I had put through it. And it took slightly less than a box. Would have only taken half a box, had I looked up this thread before I started! Now I have a double rifle that is shooting sub inch! Though perhaps I got lucky!

Old thread and all that, but just dropping a thanks! I was taking a Krieghoff 9.3x74r to the range to put its first few rounds down the pipe, and did not have a manual with me. I found this thread by @Nembwe and it was exactly what I needed. Allowed me to get under an in on shots 17/18, and...

I tend towards never slinging guns, in Africa or in BC. I have jumped game in the past and lost the chance on good animals, where the time to un-sling was about the time I needed to get a good shot off. I hear the argument for slinging, and then taking it off on the final approach, however that...
