I think I've gotten about 25 rounds through it. I fired about a box and a half of double tap factory ammo then reloaded this once. Forgot to mention I'm in Oklahoma. Thanks

Hello Sorry should've mentioned. The muzzle brake is removable and has the threaded cap thread protector. Thanks

I have one of the cz 550 from triple river. It's in 505 Gibbs. It has a muzzle brake and jeweled bolt. It's been back to triple river to get it to feed correctly, which it now does. Even with 3 down. I also have rcbs 505 Gibbs dies to go with it along with 3 boxes of Hawk sp, and a few boxes of...

I've shot a chapuis 470 a few times and that recoil is very nice. I own a 500 nitro blaser s2. It's definitely more than the 470, I don't believe anyone would say they are comparable if shooting them side by side. Having said that, the 500 is not uncomfortable to fire at all. But the blaser is...

Woohoo!! Rifle is back home. First, feeding seems to be good. Tried some dummy cartridges and the second cartridge picked up and fed fine. I can't remember if it was before or not, but loading 3 down and closing the bolt is a snug fit. I haven't had a chance to shoot it yet so won't know for...

Well the call came today that they were finished with the rifle and will be shipping it back soon. Cz warrantied all the feeding work and installing a second crossbolt, I asked them for the second crossbolt, and return shipping. I am paying for the barrel shortening and rebluing. Which is...

Don't know if they still have them but huntingtons shows single cases for sell and also woodleigh 1000 grain bullets. Might also try champlins firearms in my old hometown of Enid. It amazes me what they have sitting around sometimes. Also Ed Hubel of 12 gauge from hell and 585 HE. He worked on a...

For me it depends on caliber. When I can finally convince my wife I'll get a Verney-Carron 577 nitro express. I like the looks and price of their big doubles. I'm pretty plain on engraving so I like it kind of minimalist. 9.3x74R I really like the Chapuis. Price again is a big pushing point...

Personally I like extractors, but I think a strong argument could be made for either. I wouldn't decide solely based on extractors/ejectors.

My rifle has only been gone a week and already I wanna call and check on it! Haha. I don't know how you guys order bespoke guns that take months or years to get. Since I was in withdrawals about it I went ahead and ordered dies and a press and a reducing bushing for the press. Might as well...

Well the CZ went back to triple river today. Had it for about a week. They said that it would be a month or so. I'm hoping to get it back early January. It will give me a little time to get some reloading stuff ordered. Trying to see if they can shorten barrel and install another crossbolt while...

Gentlemen Thank you all for the fantastic info. I had done research online and found some of the info but this made it all so much easier. Thank you very much for all the help. With any luck the rifle will be back just after New Years. Thanks again

Hello So my rifle gets a trip to the gunsmith to have them fix the feeding. It was shipped to me in a crappy soft case I don't trust at all so I want to ship it to the smith right. Does anyone have good recommendations on how to ship a gun? I bought a decent little Plano case to ship it in but...

Got an email back from triple river. They said it was made in April of 06 and was one of the very first out the door. He said send it in and they will fix everything. I think I'm going to let them have a chance to fix it first. They may not get it perfect but at least it will be closer. He said...

Well the gun came in Wednesday and I was able to pick it up yesterday. It looks good. It looks very lightly shot, if at all, but looks handled a bit. Not bad. Now the bad, ammo and dummy rounds came in today and I tried cycling. First from mag no problem, second, problem. The bolt jumps the...
