This is great! Thanks for the input. BTW, it was our gunsmith who got us onto the action. I have spoken with the President of CZ-USA in the last day or so and I will move on my gun when the LH is available. Our gunsmith is www.theworkshop.net if you care. I'll pass along your suggestions. Would you, like 500Nitro also be OK with a 25" barrel for general hunting; i.e. hunting in the woods and also hunting in more open terrain?

Finally, I have spent considerable time studying "Rifles for Africa" by Gregor Woods and there is lots of good stuff in there. In 375 would you try to develop one soft-point load for all applications? If so, what would you do? A 270 grainer or a 300? Would you load it down a bit and flatten trajectory with the scope?

Anything else you would care to share about your experiences with this caliber would be quite welcomed.

Cheers.

Jeff
