mbogo,

In all seriousness, if I were buying a first big bore rifle for the purposes you mentioned, I would get the Winchester M70 Classic Sarari Express. You don't have to spend $3,000. This is a fine rifle right out of the box, with a controlled feed action.

M70 Classic Safari Express

I mentioned a .458 Win Mag earlier in this thread that I recently sold to a friend. It was one of these, and it was a fine rifle. The rifle already has cross two bolts in the stock, which you will have to install in a CZ. I didn't have to do anything with my .458 but adjust the trigger. They are good looking rifles, too.

I have never had a problem with a Win M70.

The .375 H&H is the best cartridge to begin with. If you don't have a lot of experience shooting a big bore this will be all you want at first. The .375 H&H M70 I mentioned earlier was a pre-64, and when I would do my part it would shoot 3/4" groups - 5 shots, at 100 yards. Not just fluke groups, but every time, and that's not an exaggeration.

I have never seen a M70 in .375 that didn't feed slick as a ribbon. The long tapered cartridge just slides through the action.

Go for it, and let the forum know your impression.
