Thank you all for the nice responses! Picked up the rifle today and do believe that I am in love! Also arriving today were my dies and shell holders. I have some ammo arriving Wednesday so should be able to take it out to the range next week. The one main problem I have found with this rifle is that it makes me want more in different calibers! I feel a .375 H&H coming on in the very near future.

Welcome to AH Jaeger717!
 
Now that I’ve had it to the range I thought I’d throw in a picture. Must say it really is a gentleman to shoot. Now I have to get another in .375H&H because well, everyone needs a .375!

Welcome aboard Jaeger717. Good choice of caliber. When you get your dies and components make up 4 dummy rounds so you can practice working the bolt to assure positive loading and ejection. Under the heat of the moment short stroking those long cartridges has caused anxious moments on occasion. Do you have any plans or thoughts of hunting Africa any time in the near future (read one or two years?)

Good advice. I have always practiced working a bolt gun from the shoulder and doing so feels second nature to me. The longer bolt throw of the 550 Magnum doesn’t really feel that long to me when working the action. My dummy (and real) rounds load , extract and eject flawlessly. I expected some time to break in the action but it’s been a pleasure from out of the box and just gets better.
 
Yeah I think I'll stick with a straight up CZ. Don't find anything that needs fixing. Interesting site though.

Jerome, do you think my last post in rough camping must maybe shift as an article?

Good afternoon,

I'm trying to get in contact with Mr Butch Searcy. I have the opportunity to buy one of his rifles chambered in 577 nitro Express however the seller does not have any of the paperwork with the information about what ammunition or bullet weight was used to regulate it. I know he is not making firearms anymore but I wanted to reach out after seeing one of your post about him.

Hi - the only (best) method of sending you the .375/06IMP data is with photographing my book notes. My camera died so the only way I can do it is with my phone. To do that, I would need your e-mail address, as this
new Android phone is too complicated to upload to my desk computer, which would be easier and to down-grade, reduce the file sizes.
Best wishes
Daryl
