    Traditional Mauser Sporter Questions

    My lightly customized Husqvarna in 9.3x62 is one of my favorite rifles. Cost me a lot less than a Rigby. I’ve since swapped the Leupold variable for a Leupold 3x.

    Who traditionally had the higher build quality -- Winchester Model 70 or CZ?

    My experience doesn’t come close to many of you. I do own both rifles chambered in .375. The CZ strikes me as over-built for the cartridge, but that’s ok. I have not experienced the roughness some describe. Mine works and feeds as slick as a greased pig. The Winchester seems to handle a bit...

    I’ve only used their handgun ammunition, but have been pleased with it.

    356 Winchester

    If you can get that rifle in trade for a Tri Star, I would get it. Sounds like you'll have enough brass to keep it shooting if you just get a set of dies.

    MSRP vs Street price of new Win 70 safari 375

    I notified my dealer to be on the lookout for one in January 2024. Davidson’s called him in July saying they had one. It arrived August 1st. I believe I paid $1550.

    SHOT Show 2024, any Africa worthy new releases?

    The only big bores I saw were lever actions in .45/70. Winchester had Model 70s on display; but when I questioned them about availability, they basically toed the ground and mumbled they were making them as fast as they can. I suggested offering the Model 70 Alaskan in 9.3x62 and .300 H&H. This...

    CZ 550 375 H&H

    I have read posts claiming the CZ550 needs some work to make it field worthy. I brought mine home the day I bought it and noticed the bolt travel seemed just a bit rough. I applied some Flitz metal polish to the bolt. The rifle has fed as slick as butter on a hot skillet since the first range...
