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?

I have a Chapuis 450-400 double that looks brand new and shoots well, never been hunted from what I can tell. I am willing to part with it as I have a 375 H&H Sodia on it's way from Dorleac & Dorleac. I am looking for $9,250 for it and if you are interested, I am happy to send you some pictures. Regards,
Steve
