this was my entry gun into the world of large bore African calibers and while I have not taken any game with it, it served me well. the rifle shoots MOA or 1" at 100 yards using my hand loads (300gr Hornady BTSP at 2500fps). the action is well broken in and cycles well with about 300 rounds (guessing here) down the pipe. the wood is excellent with very minor dents associated with general use. the finish is perfect except on the muzzle where it has worn off. the rifle will come with a set of Talley 1" medium QD rings. I also have dies and .375" bullets for sale if you interested.

this is really a very nice rifle! but im moving on to bigger cartridges and I need the money to help fund those big bores. feel free to PM me with questions.

my price is $900.00 + shipping.

Great opportunity here for someone, good price.
 
I can reduce the price to $850 but It wont come with the Talley QD rings.

the rifle was $1100 new and the rings were $120 new, so your saving $320 on this purchase. the gun also had to go back for feeding trouble which is typical of CZ rifles. but now who ever buys it doesn't have to worry about sending it back. the action was gritty when it first arrived but it polished smooth with use.

Very good offer Matt, in a tried and true African caliber.
 
Good deal Matt if I didn't already have a 375 you and I would be talking.

Are you interested North West Viking in the gun?
 
Hi I am interested in your CZ and hope it is still available. Several of the pictures are rather dark and I was wondering if you had some brighter / Clearer one available. What area of WA are you located, I could possible do a FTF. Also what do you have for ammo and or reloading components that are also available. Thanks
 
I'm sure Matt will be on here soon to help you out or you can send a private message to him(y)
 
Click on Matt's logo and information will come up about him. Click START A CONVERSATION and you can send him a message. If you have problems I can send him one for you.
 
We are a friendly crew on here, always trying to help another fellow hunter out(y).
 
I appreciate that, Thanks again. I sent a PM and look forward to hearing from Matt. Heading to bed, will check in the am. Happy Turkey day to you enysse.
 
thank you for your interest in my rifle North West Viking. for some reason I wasn't able to add to the conversation you started so ive started another one with you.

thank you

Hallo Marius- do you have possibilities for stags in September during the roar? Where are your hunting areas in Romania?

I'm about ready to pull the trigger on another rifle but would love to see your rifle first, any way you could forward a pic or two?
Thanks,

Love your rifle! I'm needing a heavier rifle for Africa. Sold my .375 Dakota Safari several trips ago. Would you have any interest in a trade of some sort involving the custom 338/06 I have listed here on the site ( I have some room on my asking price. I also have a large quantity of the reloading components and new Redding dies as well as a box of A-Square Dead Tough ammo.
