Hmmmmm I didnt realise that there was so much work needed in making an M17 work with the .505 gibbs case. I was hoping it would be as cheap or only a little dearer to rebarrel on old M17 which previosly had been converted to a sporter, as it would be to buy a brand new CZ. I am a little worried about the quality control of recent CZ's there have been some pretty nasty things being spred about, esp with the warrenty side of things. I however must admit that my .416 Rigby functions flawlessly.

500Nitro, mate thanks for the offer, I'd still be interested in it, and Con mate when we have the catch up in a few days we'll talk more then
