My Ceska 550 Safari Magnum in 458 Lott.
#136978 - 09/06/09 12:47 AM

Warning: I hope that nobody is angry, but I have put this same thread in the AR Forum.

===================================================================================================

Hello friends, I open this post to teach the rifle purchased. The weapon is still in the armoury, so I reserved until I has finished pay the rifle. The merchant has commanded photos that I asked him to my email and I wanted to share pictures with you all the discomfort I I could cause. I hope you like.

A greeting

Oscar.

I've come a long way, but has not been finalized, I still have to pay some money for the rifle and did not until I paid my debt I can not enjoy it, but my dream is now closer to being fulfilled.

Thanks Der Jaeger,

Oscar.

Congratulations! I know you have been wanting that rifle for a while. I think you will be pleased. I had one exactly like it before I got my Ruger. I am just a nut for Ruger bolt actions. Load up some Swift A-Frames at about 2150 fps. That combo is really accurate in mine. I have been using Hornady Dangerous Game Solids also. Good luck.

A question about my rifle, the stock that takes the Safari Magnum is as shown in the photographs, that is that I do not know if the Safari Magnum brings back in the stock and crossbolts. I spoke with the owner of the Armory to say that I was interested in crossbolts and said that he would speak of the Ceska importer in Spain.

Best regards,

Oscar.

Nice rifle! I think you will enjoy the .458 Lott caliber also. I wish CZ made their magnum length action in a left handed model for use southpaws!

Hopefully, I can not go to a safari or a miracle. I want the rifle as a capricho.Yo took a year by keeping money to buy the rifle. My budget is very limited.

Hola, como tú puedes ver, el rifle viene con pasadores en la culata, pero mi preocupación es la siguiente: ¿yo tendría que hacer el encame en la culata para que no se raje?

Gracias,

Oscar.

Sorry, I have been the post in Spanish. I am sorry. Now I translate the text.

Oscar.
===================================================================================================
Hello, as you can see, the rifle comes with pins in the cylinder head, but my concern is as follows: I would to make the encame in the cylinder head so that no raje?

Thank you,

Oscar.

Hi Oscar - I am not sure I understand. Are you saying that the rifle has crossbolts and you want to know if you should strengthen the butt stock at the wrist?

I refer to Beeding, made with a fiber that comes in paste. Is to avoid direct contact between wood and metal. You have understood?. Is to prevent the butt break.

Oscar.

P.D: Yes, the butt of the rifle takes crossbolts (see photos) but I do not know if it will be sufficient to prevent the butt cracks.

Ok I understand. Unfortunately I don't own one so can't comment specifically, but IMHO money spent on proper inletting and good bedding of factory rifles is not usually wasted...
Does anyone else have an opinion on whether the rifle should be re-bedded or is CZ factory bedding generally ok?
