Left Hand CRF Sakos?

I have also spent many years finding my collection of left handed CRF rifles, and I don’t currently own a push feed.

Ruger M77 Hawkeye in 308 win,

Winchester M70 Classic Sporter in 270 Win,

Winchester M70 Classic Stainless in 30-06,

Semi-custom CZ550 Safari Magnum in 375 H&H with oil finished stock that has been slimmed down and Oberndorf style bolt handle,

Factory standard CZ550 in 375 H&H that is going to get a new barrel in a bigger calibre.

I did have a long hard look at the Sako 75 and 85 rifles but I was put off by the price and lack of a large extractor.

Nice collection.

I have a Sako 75 in 270 that I bogught myself as an 18th birthday present. And 2 Sako 85’s. One is a hunter in 22-250 and the other 9.3x62 Bavarian. All are fine rifles and the fit and finish is great for the price.

How does the Ruger compare to the winchesters and CZ quality wise? I want to add a ruger Hawkeye in 204 to my collection. I currrently have custom no1 in 450/400.

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

2,822fps, ES 8.2
This compares favorably to 7 Rem Mag. with less powder & recoil.

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.
