    Assembling an Africa Battery

    Just sounds excessive.. If you want something to leave the children, who gets which caliber? Maybe they dont want to share or live in different parts of the country, so can't share. One gets a 375H&H so he can hunt big game Africa, while the other gets a 275 and can't. Dont know how many...

    Magnum - In the name Standard - 6,5x55 - 30-06 - 9,3x62 + a few others Short - 308, 243 etc and magazine. Just wondering if the Standard action uses different magazine box, mag follower, machined differently for the different calibers it was offered with.

    New to me CZ 550 9.3x62

    I was wondering if anybody know the difference in weigh of the barreled action in 9,3x62 compared to 6,5x55? I remember reading people thought the 6,5x55 felt heavy, while 9,3 felt nearly right. Looking at a barrel weight calculator, there should only be 0.25-0.35 lbs in difference.

    Ideas for a single Shot Bolt Action Rifle

    I once had a Interarms Mark x single shot action... a true solid bottom action, that I sold as an idiot. Firstly, find a competent gunsmith.. maybe he could fix it or make it feed another cartridge without much problems? Second... weld an solid bottom or get a single shot follower in the mag...
