I know have my hands on my 1st big bore rifle a 460 weatherby built on a cz550 magnum action with a 24 inch wilson arms barrel complete with barrel band and timney trigger. I topped it with a leupold fxii...

    What caliber for new rifle?

    So let's say if you already had a 375 h&h and a 460 wby (built on a cz action) and also had a cz 550 action laying around with the rigby bolt face what would you choose?

    Another cz 550 magnum rigby bolt face

    Well I did it again and found another decent deal on a cz 550 action with the rigby bolt face so I went ahead and bought it even though my 460 weatherby build isn't quite finished yet but I couldn't pass this deal up. They also had the same action but for belted magnum with the 375 h&h length...

    Cz 550 rigby bolt face build

    So I just recently won an online auction for a cz 550 action with the rigby bolt face, and now it's the fun part of trying to decide on what to build. I already have a 375 h&h but that's it for safari calibers so pretty much anything is open, I was leaning towards the 416 or 450 rigby but I...

    Texas whitetail freezer filler

    Just got back from Texas on a freezer filler whitetail hunt, I ended up taking 2 smaller management bucks to fill my freezer, I used my sako AV 375 h&h with 275 gr cutting edge safari raptor bullets as a little science experiment and noticed I had far less meat damage with the 375 vs my other...

    7mm rem mag to 375 h&h

    So I am toying around with the idea of taking a 7mm rem mag that I have laying around (weatherby vanguard) and rebarreling it to a 375 h&h. Has anybody done this conversion before? I already have a nice 7mm rem mag that's a remington 700 with a nice wood stock so it's not like I would be loosing...
