I believe many CZ were made in 375 h&h without crossbones. Maybe yours has been rebarrelled to 505 ? I did some work on my CZ 550 to get flat nosed solids myself. A bit nerve wracking but it can be done. First place I would start looking is the bolts face and extractor. Sharp edges on the...

I have a 30-06 myself and in Harare, I can send you to 3 different shops that will have both 308 and 30-06. You will probably have 3 or 4 different bullet weights and manufacturers at each shop- maybe more. 308 is probably more common, loads of rifles in Zim The shop that I usually use had...

It seems the marketeers have decided to kill the old 30 aught 6. I reckon it is all about penny pinching. Short action rifles are cheaper to manufacture and long range is all the rage. So it's prc this and creedmore that. All offering what other calibres have done for 100 years. I would also...

In Zimbabwe, I don't think you will find PRC or even very many 6.5 creedmoor. In addition, searching websites for availability in South Africa is dodgy, they put stock on the website but may not have. 30-06 and 300 win mag is readily available in zim. 308 probably most common. I am really...

300 win mag is better than a 30-06. And as Philip Glass suggests, a soft bullet is best. Scirocco would be good- very soft and bonded. I would think a round nose bonded soft would probably be best but I don't believe anyone makes one. I think the berger and eldx are long range bullets and not...

I would advise a rifle with more velocity for your leopard. Cats are susceptible to velocity- 300 win mag is great. They are thin skinned and light boned and a high velocity bullet seems to have more effect and a rapid expansion bullet is needed as they are not wide animal through the rib cage...

Can a smith not cut the existing barrel and rechamber? I assume you are not changing the barrel to make a sniper rifle !

I have only used a red dot once (RMR) at the range. I found it totally intuitive, I did not think about anything except looking at the target and putting the dot on target. I hear you though - what is the best distance from the eye. In addition, a 1 moa dot will be smaller if the sight is...

And I like that grip cap

One more vote for the 375 h&h. A weatherby generally pushes lead core bullets pretty hard and your failure rate climbs. If you really want a bigger calibre then 416 or 458 are better options. Bigger hole. Always remember shot placement is paramount. I have watched a buffalo shot with a 378...

I have thought about this very question for a while. I have normal open sights but at 47, the day is approaching when I think a red dot will be the best option. My thoughts are that you focus on the target and the dot is superimposed by your brain, you don't conciously focus on the dot and...

I would rub the finished down with sandpaper wrapped around a block between coats. You can use 400 or 600 grit and always with the grain. That flattens the finish and smooths any ripples or high spots before the next coat. You end up with a much better quality finish whether satin or glossy.

If you shot the Hornady bullet from a 458 win mag topped with a vortex scope, you would have named the unholy trinity of clickbait. Personally I would only use a Blaser 500 jeff topped with a swarovski to shoot charging bags of pool sand. Most of Kentucky ballistics videos are more...

30-06 for everything up to Kudu and a 458 Lott for the rest. Only other rifle I have is a 22 lr. I would say a 375 h&h is probably ideal for the Eland but I couldn't be bothered with another rifle so close to the 458
