I was finally able to buy a rifle in a caliber suitable for dangerous hunting, it is an M70 .458 win mag but it is not CRF and the rifle needs some love but it is an interesting project.
I know that many are not in favor of a post 64 M70 but in my country (Mexico) it is simply impossible to get a new DG weapon. there is only one government store for 120 million people it is ridiculous, and they only offer commercial calibers so obtaining rifles and cartridges is almost impossible.
In the last year I have only seen 3 rifles, a CZ.458 WM which lasted 3 min for sale, a .460 weatherby that nobody seems to want hahaha and this Winchester that I managed to buy along with 6 boxes of ammunition, I know it is not ideal but it is what I have, I think that with a lot of practice and time I will be able to manage it properly and I hope to be able to make it work reliably, this year I hope to be able to try it with a lion hunt in my first safari
I love my new rifle but what do you think? is it worth keeping? is it too dangerous to use push feed?
thanks for your opinions
