Phil,
One thing to think about on the CZ (the older version known as Bruno) is that there are a lot of PHs that carry these for dangerous game. It all a matter of what you feel comfortable with. As far as control round feed, my two cents worth, is that it is not needed (unless the buff has...
The day after I took my elephant there were over two hundred people there to receive meat. It was an amazing sight to see. The 6 hour butchering process, how desperate the people were for any part of the bull, and to see nothing left after it was all done. The PH organizied them into groups, of...
This is 1/2 of a group of over 20 young bulls that we found on our first day of the hunt. We watched them for a hour messing around. This heard was waiting for it to get dark to cross the river and raid the local corn crop.

My favorite picture. Taken in Zimbabwe 2008 by one of our PHs (Mark Dewet). This was on our first elephant safari. This is a rare moment when Dad and I were actually hunting together (normally we hunt seperate areas with our PHs and tell our stories around the fire pit)

I am selling my CZ 550 in .458 Lott. I used in Zim for my elephant. Modifications made to the rifle are: barrel length shortened to 22" and recrowned, feed ramp reworked (to feed Barnes solids), fully iron epoxy bedded, new NECG front sight added when barrel was shortened. There are some dings...
Monish,
You can see a pic of the rifle under my thread in the Firearms Classified - Titled: Big Bores for Sale. I can send them via email if you desire.
I have put the CZ 550 (375H&H) and the Winchester Model 70 (458WM) on AuctionArms.com. The auctions end in 6 and 8 days.The item #s are 9587387 and 9587345. If you place a bid, good luck and Thanks.
Ok folks, I am having a custom Sako being built in 458 Lott. A Sako V action has only one recoil lug. THe question is, does a second barrel lug need to be added. The gentleman selling the custom Sako on this forum was very helpful by providing me a pic of the added recoil lug on that rifle; but...
I've looked at that forum a while back, however a lot of people keep their method secret. I'm hoping somebody here will help me out. I'm working an Eland I took in Zim and it's been a pain. Next I have to do Dads' and my elephants, good luck to me on that :)
Looking for help on how to best rehydrate African capes. I do all of my Dad's and mine mounts from Africa (so far 21 total) and have had issues in rehydrating the thicker skin capes. Wondering if any taxidermists would give me some help on how to best rehydrate these capes. Thanks in advance.
Based on what I saw on the internet, I do not want to ship anything overseas. If your coming to the states or a friend coming to the states it would be possible to sell.

Winchester no longer makes these calibers
Did you know that Winchester no longer makes model 70s in Safari/Dangerous Game calibers. These are starting to become rare. If you are thinking about Dangerous Game these would be very good choices.
My Dad and I are selling three of our big bores. They are:
1. Winchester Model 70 Safari Express in .458 WinMag. The stock has been replaced with a higher grade stock by Browning when they were doing Winchesters Warranty work. The rifle is fully bedded. A ghost site was installed on the...
My Dad and I have 458 Lotts and have used them in Africa on elephant. Several mods we did are bedding the action (we had stocks break on our Winchesters in 458), ghost sight (these are made for the 550 by New England Custom Gun), and shortened the barrel by 3". You will find that when moving...
