I knew it as I typed it. Cheers mate.
 
All,
Looking for some insight and opinion. I am returning to Africa next year for my second Buffalo/PG hunt as well as Australia for WaterBuffalo. I have a O/U 9.3X74r I used on my first safari and am looking to upgrade to something bigger .375 +. I have been looking at BRNO ZK602(.375)/Sako Brown Bear/Kodiak(.375) and CZ 550 Safari or Express in .375-.404-416 range. Primary use will be Africa & Australia and big bears. My main concerns are reliability and strength. Barrel length and cosmetics are secondary. I would appreciate pros and cons on these models. Kind regards, Mike

What about a Dakota 76 in 416 remington. Still decent trajectory, more wallop then a 375, and a step up from the 9.3 your already shooting?

I would get a CZ and send it to Allan Henry on the KZN south coast. He can just smooth the action for you or do a full monty on it, new stock etc. Or anything in between. I had a serious look at some of the work he’s done to CZ’s and was thinking of getting one but decided to go for a Heym instead.
 
I picked up a Husqvarna 9.3x62 Mauser type action. Nice wood, smooth action, good bore. Gonna load it for buffs, will give feedback one day. Now to wait for license...
