I just won an auction for a cz550 safari classics complete magnum receiver with a 375 h&h bolt face. I've never had a rifle built before, but I know the easiest (read cheapest) thing to do is a bell and carlson, and have the action fitted with a caliber thats h&h based. I've already got a 375 h&h and a 416 rigby. I want to go as large as possible and i think the 458 lott is essentially the largest for the bolt face if I'm not mistaken? I'd love to go .500j or 505 gibbs, but does the bolt face/extractor have enough meat to machine to the case head specs?

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
