Just purchased a rifle from @Mauser3000 very pleasant deal and everything was as pictured/described.

What does your Sabatti weigh?

I have decided not sell after some reconsideration, my apologies.

Looking to sell my cz550, I bought it for a hunt that it doesn't look like I'll be able to go on any time soon. It's currently cycling VorTX ammo fine but the action is in need of a proper tuning. I still have the booklets that came with the rifle, but no longer have the box. I can send more...

The efficiency of bows and how they translate a 70 pound draw into KE has become vastly better in even the last 10 years I've been bow hunting. I know a few of the bows specifically that have gotten consistent elk pass throughs, and some are as low as a 26.5" draw @ 70 pounds. I'll agree that if...

I've yet to have the opportunity to take any game larger than deer and hogs. I've heard and read Ashby say that, I've also read a fair bit of the study itself. He's bad about doing tests where there's more than one change to the arrow. I believe he is spot on about many things, but I don't...

Dropping shaft GPI will increase your FOC. Meaning I can keep my dynamic spine in check at a lower point weight for a higher foc. More foc= more better. You can also MASSIVELY adjust foc by fletching choice. Something like a max stealth vs a gateway rayzer feather can lead to percentage increase...

I'm not shooting ANYTHING heavy. There's no need to in my opinion. I shoot a 420gr 18% FOC arrow from a Mathews v3, 70 pounds @ 27" sevr titanium 1.5"s on smaller stuff and iron will solids for bad angles or bigger stuff.

Exactly like that! Awesome, thank you so much.

I mean mounting here

I think we are misunderstanding eachother. That's one of the dovetail slots. I'm referring to the island that houses the rear iron sight.

An aimpoint t1 to the rear sight assembly of a large rifle. I currently have a CZ 550 but in particular I was wondering if it's possible with a single square bridge mauser action.

Did you have to rework the magazine or was it a simple barrel swap?

Best bang for your buck LaRue. Just best, not counting pennies option, Geissele. I prefer single stage to 2 stage but that's all preference.

I've yet to have ANY animal duck the string at 280ish fps. This includes squirrels. To each their own. I've also got pass throughs on all the animals I've shot. When I get a chance to hunt larger animals than whitetail and hogs I'll post those results.

Could you point me in the right direction? I'm having trouble finding them.

Odd idea popped into my head at work last night. Figured I'd see if someone has already done it... could someone machine a rear island into picitinny rail? It's odd, but hear me out. A micro red dot like the aimpoint t1 could be picked up super fast and it'd be much lighter than the large red...

Aside from CZ and Blaser, does anyone make a left handed bolt action 458 win mag or lott? Did they in the past?

Every single bow hunter I know shoots an extremely well tuned bow. Your tune is everything. Most if the heavy arrow guys I run into quote Ashby but haven't read the study, or they say "for low poundage shooters". I posted an extremely simplified version of it for everyone to see. Weight is 6th...

I rely on science entirely in building all of my builds. I'd pay good money to know if these poorly penetrating builds were flying well. My bet is they weren't.

Permission granted. Hijack the thread, I want to hear also. Lion tops my wanted list.

Looks like the A frame and TSX win the day. I appreciate all the input.

I appreciate you answering fully.

I've build from 30% foc @ 702gr (highest foc I could get) down to 15% @ 351gr 3d arrows. All bareshaft tuned to fly with a fletched arrow to 20 yards, giving me bulletholes in paper at 5 yards. My 18.9% 425gr arrow passed through on a nearly frontal shot, breaking scapula and exiting the rear...

I've shot axis 4mm a fair bit on deer, at 29" and 70 pounds I'd want ATLEAST 300 spine, if not 250. I really like the .204s, particularly the victory RIP TKO. If they don't have a weight requirement I'd shoot no heavier than 450gr. If you want me to I can throw something together on archers...

I'm curious what everyone bullet(s) you guys use and what game you take with them.

What load did you use for whitetail? I plan to take a few with mine.

Where does one get this glass paper?

The stock looks fantastic! I put a tiny bit of kroil on my screwdriver and prevented the recoil pad issue. I'm assuming you did the recoil pad on a belt sander? Hoping to have mine done within the next few days when I have a bit of time off of work.

Did you reprofile the pad?

I've yet to feel an action smoother than my tikka

It was glued and screwed. Thanks guys.

I'd like to shorten my stock a bit. I figured someone here would know. Is the stock pad glued on, screwed on, or both?

That's the plan for now.

If only that Krish guy would stop buying them all haha

I have a tic tok lol. I'm hoping to one day own a larger rifle but for now I'm content with the 375. I read a fair bit about the recoil and had some concerns but it's very tame. I prefer it to my friends 300wm AND I get to snootily call most rifles "small bores" now that I have a medium bore...

So far I'm liking the 300gr TSX and using a trijicon accupoint 3-9x40.

I too am a lefty, welcome to the struggle. No Africa trips planned quite yet, but I've started a savings account for it, bought the rifle and begun to get proficient, and got it signed off by my better half so now its just a matter of time and funds.

A CZ 550, I think the weight helps a lot.

A couple week ago I bought my very first big (to me) bore rifle. A 375 h&h. I've been hearing from friends and coworkers about what a monster it would be, that that it was going to be way too much recoil. This got in my head a bit. I finally made it to the range and all the standing shooting...

The VorTx feeds like a dream, as do partitions, and now A frames also. I appreciate your suggestion. Thank you to everyone who's contributed to this thread, I have learned some things and for that I'm very grateful.

I'm not sure, the other side looks the same though if you look in the picture with the extractor.

They are factory PPU 300gr round nose. Bought some dummy rounds off of Amazon and it'll unseat the bullet and push it into the case before it'll feed.

Emailed CZ and they said best of luck in the aftermarket. Any idea where I can find an extractor?

Some pictures for reference, incase I'm wording this wrong. If I cheat the bullet onto the feed ramp, it feeds just fine. Otherwise it binds the action.

Bought a cz550 in 375 h&h today. Having trouble feeding 300gr round nose from the left hand side. Right hand side feeds like a dream. The bullet seems to not go onto the feed ramp. The gentleman who sold it to me said it cycled spitzer profile ammunition just fine but I didn't have any on hand...

Hello. New member with dreams of making it to Africa. New to the forum and new to large rifles. I purchased my first dangerous game rifle, a CZ 550 in 375 H&H earlier today. Hoping to put in a lot of range reps and get either a lion or a buff within the next couple years. I've been a lurker for...
