500 grains--

Much thanks and Excellent advise!! A takedown 375 H&H would be a real treasure for a father to give to a son. I will check with Smithson et al on prices.I LIKE that idea.

Sorry for one further question-

Given quality components is there a smith you recommend for a well functioning working 500 A square on the CZ action for around/under 5K?? I don't know that Breeding or Smithson would even want to pursue a rifle at this level.I would like to swap out a synthetic stock with the wood for some hunts in hostile environments.
