Winchester Safari

[Boxlock]

Great collection of rifles. I really want a cz550 left hand for a 416 Rigby. Which if your 375s do you prefer?

I just got 3 of the left had Winchester style safeties imported for my Zastava.

I like them all but there different, actually the Zastava at the moment but I'll give that a rest then try the Winchester or CZ for a while, ....Yes I was looking at getting a right hand 416 Rigby and putting barrel and mag box on to left hand 375H&H and modify the bolt face and extractor but can't find another left hand CZ for the project..my list of lefty's...

Winchester 375H&H
CZ 375H&H
Zastava 375H&H, 9.3x62, 30/06, 7x57
Steyr Mannlicher SM12, 9.3x62
Winchester 30/06
CZ 223

The 3 safeties for the Zastava's and bottom metal obendorf type large capacity who did you go with? I like the Rigby drop box style....

I too do not like changing classic rare rifles too much but Zastava rifles why not? but just found out no more left hand Zastava rifles for Australia, not sure if right hand included so now a Zastava left hand is rare??

There is a lefty cz550 in the states for sale atm. But it would be very expensive with current exchanges and shipping.

But their not making any more but cost more than double I'm guessing , there was a left hand bespoke Rigby in 416 Rigby for sale not long ago in Australia ,he was wanting about $35,000 compared to about $45,000 new but a bit of money ! I was going to move on it but it sold! oh well keep looking....I also regret not getting a Zastava in .458Win when available.

I used metplat for the import of the safety.

I am making my own bottom metals. It’s a lot of machining.
