Great scope for 0 to 200 yards, maybe a little further. Prefect for a lightweight walk and stalk rig. I had a 4x scope on my 30-06 for years. Now a 4 to 12 that stays on 4 most of the time. Those scopes are light and easy carrying.

It all makes sense, I am interested in the concept and will have to fit a red dot on my CZ at some stage. Open sights currently. Being a CZ, I will probably fit it on the front bridge. Otherwise, I may make my own version of a replacement back sight and red dot mount as I mentioned above. But...

I have a pdf of a mount that replaces the rear sight on a CZ 550. It has a built in open sight V and mounts an RMR or similar red dot in front I am sure a similar plan can be made on a double. This sight and mount drifts into the sight dove tail. I am not sure how the rear sight fits on a double ?

I see a few inconsistencies in @Racer00 post. If your eye is 1mm off centre and the sight is on the action, parallax will be greater and the red dot will be further off zero. A red dot mounted far forward on the front sight (exaggerated), with the same 1mm off centre eye placement would be...

I wish more munafacturers were honest about their products like you are. I often read about bullet 'failures' and problems that are just people using the wrong product. People also disregard velocity effect on the bullet using soft bullets at high velocity or hard bullets at low velocity and...

I like the replacement sight option that Frederik posted, clean and neat. also out of the way, if you carry your rifle in one hand, it naturally grips around the the front bridge and any red dot sight will mess with that.

The question I always have on dot size is- how much does distance from the eye change the size of the dot. For example, is a 1 moa on the back bridge of a bolts action the same size as a 3 moa half way down the barrel ? And then, is it better to have a red dot closer to the eye for instinctive...

If you put in crossbolts and glass bed the action, I am sure that the stock will be strong enough. A single express sight is all you need, my Lott is zeroed at 100m. This means that it is within an inch of zero from 10 yards until 125 yards and within 4 inches out to 165 yards. So it is...

It is obvious that a number off posters above do not own and have not used a CZ 550. I have 2, a 30-06 and a 458 lott. 1. The SAFETY on a CZ 550 works the 'correct' way, same as most rifles. The earlier Brno had backwards safety. I haven't changed the safety on either of mine and don't feel the...

Guys, we need a little rational thought here. The DGX bullet is often accused of 'failing' because it turns into a coin, over expanding. This bullet failed by not expanding- it was too hard. From what I can see, only the bullet that hit the leg bone is shown and it folded sideways. The...

The Rem action is usually accurate and can be blue printed for extreme accuracy. I would ask if the rifle has been rechambered from any other 7 mm calibre. You may run into twist rate problems if it is a 7x57 repurposed. For long range, you will be wanting to use the heaviest bullets available...

Dont over think it. The 458 win mag with North Fork SS is perfect for buffalo. And a 30-06 with pretty much any 180 gr bonded bullet is good for plainsgame up to eland with well placed shots. I have a 458 lott and 30-06. I use cup and core bullets in the range of 180 to 220 gr for smaller...

Are you wanting to dial for distance on your 375 ? I have a CZ 550 in 30-06 with no problems zeroing the two scopes that I have had on it ( a Lynx and a Vortex Crossfire). Both zero around the middle of their range. I read where one guy struggled but I believe there was a problem with his...

Airlines take great pleasure in destroying all luggage. I would put my best foot forward and secure my rifles as well as possible ie hard case with cutout foam. The soft case doesn't need to be fancy, just prevent knocks and scratches in the rack of a landcruiser. Fold it in your suitcase but...

I am starting the same journey, although I have reloaded with a guy I know using/hiring his equipment but that became very expensive with his charges. My brother in law just gave me a press and other equipment and I purchased dies for my rifles. I already had bullets and cases. It is a big step...
