    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.

    Changing caliber CZ 500

    i was wondering if the CZ 550 had any difference in magazines for their different calibers? Or any differences in action? Reason I am asking, I can't seem to find any in 6,5x55 where I live.. When they show up for sale, they are usually 30-06. Been so long since I have seen the other...

    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...

    If you could choose: Brno Z, ZG 47, ZKK or Cz 550??

    ZG-47 is #1. I would choose it over any other action... Well, a custom M98 action would be better. Its a M98, with square bridges and a fantastic safety.

    When is a 9,3x62 to light?

    I came across a cheap new Tikka T3 Forest in 9,3x62. Spec sheets says 3,1kg / 6.8lbs with open sights. I will either use a Aimpoint Micro H2 or Leupold 2,5x20. Should increase weight to 3,25kg / 7,15lbs or 3,4kg / 7,5lbs And this is the stock shape... is it any good for Recoil?
