Here is the story on my brand new CZ 458 Lott Safari Magnum.
After my second cape buffalo hunt in 2010, with a 375 H&H, I ordered this CZ 458 Lott. The first thing I did was send it to a gunsmith to tune/pollish the action and trigger. I also sent the stock to another guy for bedding and refinishing. He who made a small cosmetic mistake on it, so used it as an excuse to order the laminated stock which I wanted in the first place, from CZ USA.
Meanwhile, I caught fire with the idea of .577NE and through Ed Hubel, who has recently passed away, I made a .577NE up on a single shot break open action. I killed 7 more cape buffalo with this .577NE and never touched the brand new CZ 550 Safari Magnum 458 Lott. It has languished in my safe for over 10 years.
No worries to me as the price on this now discontinued, beautiful rifle is going up steadily and I have some gun crazy grandchildren who have started hunting in Africa. So, I appreciate your interest, but serious inquiries only please. Thanks, Brian
