I’m really only after a .375 H&H. Sometimes the internal maniacal co-pilot starts to veer into 505 Gibbs territory... But mostly I’m trying to be realistic.
Thanks, Bruce. I’ve been eyeing up that Winchester. I have developed no opionion on the Boddington issue- I’m just interested in that rifle but not paying attention to the man at all.
Hey, thanks! How was the stock profile? I’m i talks with a smith who can make the trigger and action work you suggested. He doesn’t work with stocks however. I like the looks of it, but never have I held on to one...
I’m seriously looking into getting my first big bore and starting out with a preference for the classic CZ 550. The customizations on the Boddington suit me quite well. I’m curious how those match up with other options, like buying a cz 550 and having American Hunting rifles making those same...
Why are so many drawn to the CZ after all that? I assume it’s about the tradition and owning a custom rifle if one can afford it? Understandable- some addictions are more costly than others... Oh- and I just checked my local small town sporting goods store. Seems he has a 30-06 Winchester 70...
Yes-expensive no doubt. I see the CZ 550 Classic Safari comes in 404. I have a strong liking for the CZ Boddington which comes in 375 H&H, but again, she’s not cheap.
Between the standard CZ 550 and Winchester Safari Express- would you go with the Winchester?
I appreciate your guidance and the time offered in responding. I hope your adventure is an enjoyable and memorable one.
In my recent reading, the 404 Jeffrey is noted as fine and respectable cartridge for Africa. Has a historical patina which I do respect. It’s one I’m considering for my first...
Right On. I am a deer hunter, I meant. 30-06 is indeed the caliber I use. I’m thinking of moving to a 375 H&H for hunting white tail and to gain proficiency with an Africa caliber.
Been dreaming of hunting Africa for almost 10 years. Finally getting serious about making it a reality. For the moment- White tails in North America...
I was thinking of going with a CZ550 in a bigger caliber for white tail this year. Looking forward to seeing some pics, and hearing about using it. At least my pals will be able to tell it was me who shot next year with a big bore in the woods. Cheers!
Just joined, myself. Looking forward to hearing about preparations for the trip. Being from PA, no reason not to have a remarkable flintlock in the collection!
Best,
Josh
