I've been away for a while and not read the post's. Thanks to all who responded.

Re: Montana 99....I had a bad experience with them and probably will not give them another chance.

Re: Win Mod 70 conversion.....500grains, are you refering to a standard length magnum (300 Win) or a long action magnum (375 H&H) for conversion? I have both, but would like to keep the 375 as is. The other is a 338 Win Mag. I like it, but would not miss it if I could get it converted to the Lott. I plan on buying new "drop" magazine bottom metal for whatever action I get.

Re: Left hand CZ in 458 Lott.....I heard from the CZ people that they plan to introduce a left hand CZ in an "African" style rifle in 375 and 458 Lott. Timing is supposed to be mid-year, '07. We will see.

Again, thanks for all your input.............Lee
