I want to add , I found a B&C stock for the CZ 550 action on their website. It has aluminum frame imbedded as I mentioned in the Savage stock before. It comes in various colors and is exactly what I want for the 550 I have. I’ll keep everyone posted on felt recoil. I may just get a buddy to help...

I have to admit this is a lively conversation. I would still add a piece to the puzzle . That 300 Weatherby I bought was a bargain deal years ago and is a vanguard. I thought the recoil would be horrible because the thing is light for caliber. It shoots at an 06 level of recoil, as I said...

I will not argue the premise of composite stock being lighter , and my beliefs they transmit “more” recoil than wood. But, my 300 Weatherby mag shots under 1MOA, with a composite stock, and by my opinion shoots softer than a 06. Only a high grade composite stock should be applied to DG rifles...

I have a CZ 550 in 458 Lott, and it has a nasty punch to it. I have a 375 Win 70, that shoots like a dream. I was considering buying a Rigby 416, but the hope of a “ push” recoil impulse maybe absent in the Rigby similar to the Lott. Your comparison in stock materials is interesting, I wonder if...

Winchester 70. 375 H&H. Round detonated when safety pushed forward on loaded chamber Gunsmith stayed it was due to dirty bolt Gun was brand new, sent back to Winchester , no problem since

"RANCE SAFARIS"

I have to add a comment from personal experience. I was bird hunting with my brother in law, and was following him from the car with guns and dog in tow. I always tAlked safety and had reiterated that guns stay unloaded until in the field. As I followed him up a small rise he slipped , having...

Is there a gunsmiths name on the 300 ??

I ponder what the reputation of the 450/400 holds with those who use it?

It may have been mentioned and I missed it , but Direct TV has all three , Pursuit, Sportsmans, and Outdoor channels, and has had them since they were available as far as I know, I have to pay for OC, but is them not DTV.

Thank God for the US Constitution, and 2nd Amendment, paid for by the precious blood of my Forefathers.

I enjoy this topic immensely, and appreciate you insights. I love the topics of big bores, and stopping powers. As a trident reloader, self taught ballistician, I enjoy the science, especially put into action. I have used a 375 H&H enough to appreciate it's potential, 300gr Barnes have...

I suggest reading Pondoro Taylor's writing, he was a trident admirer of the 375 H&H, my experience has been similar. I would suggest the 375 is the best "all around African caliber", but for stopping power with DG, I would yield the 400+ calibers are better suited. I would love to hear from...

I agree there are good artists in SA. My thought was a broker of sorts handling trophy skins and horns for transfer back to home country. Not a true taxidermy company, but handler with contacts thru out Africa. Someone I could call/ hire and say “I’m hunting in Namibia have five PG trophy’s “...
