    458 win CZ 550

    Yes there will be.....458 win in the cz550 box looks odd, ream to .458 lott I reckon makes sense for the .458 win cz's. Not sure of throat dimensions but that will be your sticking point

    Verney Carron going under!

    The 10k was for a 40k Heym (3 yr wait)....I had considered a VC. The 10k deposit is NOT paid to Heym but rather the Australian agent, now I am sure they are great and have good intentions but I lost a deposit on a lounge suite years ago with a 12 month wait. Strange Macro conditions at the...

    Verney Carron going under!

    I agree that Heym is solid, it’s parting with your money for 3 years with the middle man. My last post is riddled with typos, replying on the phone does note help grammar etc. apologies

    Verney Carron going under!

    This is a tragedy….close to putting a deposit down a few months ago due to being a little cheaper than a Heym, would have lost my $$ has I done it. Aussie agent for Heym wants a 10k deposit for a 3 year wait….I want some assurances/legal instrument to ensure I’m not caught out some how. Agents...

    Thanks for that I've always believed that is the "ducks nuts" I wonder why it rots the stitching ?

    Culling belt vs Cartridge Slides

    Gents I have to say Jacques was excellent deal with. I ordered a cull belt for my .416, a pouch for a Leatherman, sling and butt cover. The quality is very high with a unique way of extending the length on the cull belt.

    300 H&H with Hornady ELD-X 212 Grain bullet

    Cant Split them Exos 1-8 or Swaro z8 1-8

    No who would, I’d by a nightforce competition scope and a 6mm BR rifle for that task. The .416 and 1-8 Swarovski is for a buff hunt.

    Cant Split them Exos 1-8 or Swaro z8 1-8

    Well folks I bought a Z8i 1-8 with 4A retcile...no flex changes in stock and from what I can gather Swarovski have discontinued the 30mm tubed Z8 1-8's...knowing my luck they will now have a z10 1-10 for the same price :LOL: Anyway the price was cheaper than the exos by a good bit and not...
