Took the plunge
      #23629 - 07/01/05 10:12 AM

Well, I took the plunge today and ordered a CZ 550 American Safari Magnum in .458 Lott. Not that I needed another rifle but, I just couldn't resist. Presently, I shoot a .375 H&H mag without any problems. Figure I start out with 458 WinMag ammo to practice and work up to the full Lott (pun intended).

Should have my rifle early next week - I'll let you know how my shoulder is doing after my first time at the range.

Comments welcome - and thanks to everyone in the past for their help.

I think I'm developing a flinch from thinking about you shooting it.

Vladimir

Sounds like a good combination, a .375 and a .458.

Perfect combo .375 and .458

Do not worry about the recoil others have survived before you.


Cheers,

André
